Several weeks ago I was emailed about a school powwow and how I was expected to be there to give an educational speech. It sounded fine and dandy until I remembered I am a horrible horrible public speaker. (I am a professional public mumbler though)
Uh, no- I thought. I am the absolute worst public speaker EVER! I get jittery, blushy, and I can't think. I thought, 'Are you kidding me? I can't do this.' I came up with a better idea instead.
I returned the RSVP and said instead of a speech I can play a song on the Native American Flute, educational of course. I got a reply stating the Gourd Society would be very happy for me to play....and a big thank you for playing the flute......AND giving a speech.
DOH!
