You're amazing @jaynie, I'm so proud of you. Being able to overcome those little voices in our head which hold us back is quite an achievement. Even at my age I still have them. I find the power of prayer helps soo much. Public speaking is the true test and it sounds like you were able to conquer your fear. Wonderful words of wisdom, thanks for sharing with us xx
And thank you for such a beautifully kind response @birdsinparadise! I suppose we ALL have those pesky little voices... they never completely disappear... but we can deafen them :D
