Tuesday night we held our Laurel Highlands Toastmasters. We were online with six in attendance. This was our first meeting since Winter TLI. It seemed like everyone was well rested since our big Saturday and ready to share their stories.

Onward and Upward at 2025 Winter TLI!
On Wednesday night, I served as Table Topics Master at our Greensburg Toastmasters meeting. I didn’t answer any of the questions myself. However in this blog, I will answer one of them.

Feeling the Christmas Spirit!
My Christmas spirit is out in full force this week as it began the end of the Thanksgiving weekend with all three installments of the Grinch.

Bridge Between Two Eras!
November four years ago was a huge transition period in my life. The company I had worked for had officially merged with its competitor. I learned of the changes in June of that year.

If you were near Lake Erie or in the mountains of West Virginia, then you had more snow than we did. In places like Conneaut, Ohio, andContinue reading “Beginning Season Two of my Gilmore Girls Rewatch!”
Out with the Pumpkins, in with the Holidays!
After a busy month of October that was rife with time off and other activities, the last week of the month saw a return to normalcy. It was ordinary, but I welcomed the tranquility. Working on a Friday and Saturday felt weird as I was spoiled during my last few weeks off. But, I’m readyContinue reading “Out with the Pumpkins, in with the Holidays!”
Leaders are Readers at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
I returned to Laurel Highlands Toastmasters Tuesday night after missing the last meeting. Two weeks ago I visited the Johnstown club which meets the same night. We met online, which worked for me as it bought me some time to get ready. Last week was unlike any other, with the Fall Symposium on Saturday. IContinue reading “Leaders are Readers at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”
