Those of you who follow my blog know that I have been sick. I had an engagement on my calendar that I had booked last fall, so I had to let them know it was likely I needed to be replaced. Funny thing was by mid-week I was feeling better and my replacement was sick so I was back on the gig.
This fundraising event is something I do with my daughter. It is a fashion show for LEUCAN and all the beautiful dresses are provided by a wonderful designer named Dominique Levesque*. Now my daughter is not one to pass up an opportunity to wear a pretty sequined anything so I found the courage to be at the podium with my counterpart Brian Henry** to MC this very lovely event. I was still feeling a bit sick, throat dry and a little tired but hair and make-up and an exquisite gown can do wonders for a girl. The conditions weren’t perfect but it was a perfect evening. It is true, just don’t listen to your critical voice or even the voice of reason. Go for it. Get off the couch. Get on your bike or treadmill or stage or whatever it is you are ho-humming about.
At the end of the night the organization had surpassed its goal by 25%. There were women with glowing smiles floating down the hallways and in dressing room doorways. And me, well I was happy too because while I was up there, I wasn’t sick. I was happy. How perfect is that?
Namaste!
