I was pretty out of place also. Kinda the throw-in speaker to Google's big name draw. I remember talking about some goals you set for yourself in launching several websites. I think this blog is a good start. Great job and congratulations! Thanks for remembering me. Keeven Hi Nate, I absolutely remember talking to you that night. I was pretty out of place also.

I agree, my first thuoght is to choose to work alone on my own projects, but there's always that part of me that knows it's better to do more, be more, and share more with others. And every time I relent and let that happen, I end up learning something. You'd think I'd want to do it all the time, but it's kinda hard to go against nature. I'm learning though, and feel like I'm getting better bit by bit.<br><br>Still not ready for Toastmasters, though... :)<br><br>Thanks for reading! Thanks for the kind words, Rebecca.

I love how you presented the emotions of what you expected to fear and the things you discovered about life when it lands in your lap. I feel that attending toastmasters has helped me get over that same thing... I don't really want to be a part of the group as I flourish when I can create by myself.. but there is something inside that says.. share more, be more, do more. Somehow you realize that it really is about others and that improves you. <br>Thank You for taking the time to write your article<br>Regards.<br>Rebecca HI!
