Last week I wrote on IG "I could write an essay but at this point, all I could utter is "My heart is full!" 🥰🤗"
Well today, I feel like writing the essay I was talking about. HAHA! 😂 I've been cutting back unnecessary stressors in my life lately. I finally realized that I wouldn't be judged should I decide to choose a slower lifestyle. I have two organizations to which I devote my time and energy after work. Or it should be "I had" since I recently tendered my resignation in one of the organizations where I hold the second highest ranking position. Why did I resign? My short answer is that I want to take things slower this time around. Between the two organizations, I decided to keep my membership with Toastmasters International, as an Area Director I2.
Just last week, I organized one of our Division's biggest events, the Beginner's Cup. The goal of this Division-wide contest is to give an avenue for new Toastmasters to showcase their speaking skills in both the International Speech Contest and the Table Topics Speech Contest. A few weeks back, I volunteered to organize this event. Despite how busy I was at work, I'm happy that I successfully pulled off the event with all the help I could get from people within and outside of our Division. There were a few technical and administrative difficulties that we encountered on the day of the event but overall, I'm happy to say that we did great and everyone including those who joined us online was happy about how the event went.
