Last week I presented at the BASSA (Business Analysis Summit South Africa) Conference and it basically consumed 5 months of my life this year. I am not comfortable with public speaking in a presentation style format. I am very good when put on the spot in a boardroom but for some reason as soon as I have to stand up on a stage I freak out. I was so happy that I forced myself to submit an abstract for my presentation, although at the time I was notified that my abstract was accepted I was absolutely terrified.
The trip to Joburg also marked my first trip on a plane in 7 years! I was seriously anxious about the flight and the first message I sent JP as the plane landed was: "I am still alive!"...ha ha. I just don't like flying. But at least I made it to Joburg and back home safely.
Thank you to all of you who left messages on my Instagram photos and tweeted me. I really appreciate all the support. The good news now is that I have a few weeks where I'll be able to happily blog as my work will mostly stay within working hours...HOWEVER I have about 1 month 3 days until my Wedding! SO EXCITING!
Hope you all have a great Friday and enjoy the weekend!
Big Hugs,

Yay, I'm so glad you had a good conference experience :) (I'm busy preparing my presentation for a conference I'm going to in two weeks now! Or, I was, before taking a blog reading break, haha!) And wow, can't believe it's a month until your wedding, that's so exciting :)
