Something I Would Not Normally Do

A few weeks ago, I did something that I would not normally do.  I did a speech in front of a group of strangers and a family member.  I had attended the first meeting of the Strathroy Ontario club.  This is a rapidly growing club that has a lot of good things going for it.

Only Toastmasters would have prepared me for this.  I was the one and only speaker, there was a newspaper there and a room of strangers.  The meeting was very enjoyable and the speech felt comfortable.  I think that I would do this more often.  I was a lot of fun.  It stretched me beyond my comfort zone.  I thing more people should try something new and out of their comfort zone.
