Not the Public Speaker
Ok, I must confess, I have a fear of public speaking. I flop up my words, I get all nervous, and when I mess up, I can not get my thoughts back on track.
I even took a speaking class, and was told that I used the words “you know,” and “ummm” way too much.
I am not totally sure that I’ve improved much. We’ll have to see.
Charley of Cross Driven Radio, has been doing interviews with people involved the 40 day fast, and after much thought, I agreed to do it. (how often have I been asked to do an interview? ummm, you know,- never.) He was a great interviewer, made me feel at ease, and all in all I think it went well.
If my answers don’t make sense, and my voice sounds shaky, just know I’m not that way in real life. (I hope?)
I am just glad that it was not a video interview, because I didn’t know what to do with my hands. (if you didn’t get that joke, you have to watch this video clip..)
The interview is scheduled to air on Thursday, July 31st, along with Euphrony’s interview.

I gesticulate when I get to talking. Sometimes almost comedically. I empathize with everyone who does not know what to do with their hands.
