Fun Features at Caleese and Cutie’s!

I’m looking forward to sharing some of the fun drinks that my favorite coffee shops have to offer next week.

I made sure my hotspotContinue reading “Fun Features at Caleese and Cutie’s!”

Know It. Speak It. Live It at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!

Tuesday was our first Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting of the year. En route to Connellsville, I wasn’t sure how the meeting was going to go. New to FreeToastHost, I didn’t have an agenda prepared. One reason could be that I am used to doing things different at Greensburg. As I walked in the room, IContinue reading “Know It. Speak It.

What Are Your 15 Minutes at Greensburg Toastmasters?

It felt great to be back at Greensburg Toastmasters on Wednesday night. The last two meetings I had missed.

Reflections of Summer at Allegheny Mountains Toastmasters!

On Thursday night, I attended the Allegheny Mountains Toastmasters club via Zoom. I came because I wanted to cheer on one of my good friends who was speaking about her Toastmasters journey so far.

De-Stressing at Greensburg Toastmasters!

The second guest was new to Toastmasters.  We had an amazing agendaContinue reading “De-Stressing at Greensburg Toastmasters!”

Wearing our Hearts on our Sleeves at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!

It felt good to drive down to Connellsville on Tuesday night for my Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting. It felt even better telling myself that I’m all in after a January slump. Whether or not I honor that remains to be seen. Meeting online is nice but it has its setbacks. I can’t tell you howContinue reading “Wearing our Hearts on our Sleeves at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”
