Surprise, surprise, I got there early!
Soooooo early that I was able to drive around a little to get familiar with my surroundings. I saw a cemetery, gas station, some cool new homes and then I saw a sign that said “Rosycakes Bakery -Cinnamon Buns”. Sign from heaven? Of course! You see, my Dad was a baker. Seeing that sign, instantly made smile -I had to check it out! When I walked in, there was an amazing assortment of handmade baked yummy goodness. I ended up enjoying a Lemon Blueberry Scone (just like my dad used to make) and as I sat there enjoying every bite, I was reminded of funny memories of my Dad and it made my heart so happy. 💗All the jitters and nerves about teaching to a room of strangers were gone. I was settled and expectant for a fabulous class ahead. I drove to the office and went in to get set up and to my surprise I had a wardrobe malfunction!!!!! I had to laugh because I was soooooo early, I STILL had time to fix it, set up the training room and not feel flustered before class started. I enjoyed an incredible time teaching and getting to know a new group of friends. When I got in my car, I was so happy I broke into spontaneous new song.
There’s a sense of purpose and joy when I teach in any format- one on one- big or small groups. I love story telling, brainstorming and inspiring others!
So the moral of the story? I’m not perfect and I can learn a lesson: Time block your calendar and whenever possible, be EARLY. You never know when you’re gonna have a wardrobe malfunction, see a sign that causes you to go down sweet memory lane or fix a flat tire and STILL be on time.
