July 11th, 2012Relax, enjoy yourself you’re awesome!
So the Living Wellness Live Women’s event is officially On Sale! How exciting! Or terrifying! It totally depends on how you look at it.
To be real, I question often why am I the one who received this inspiration? Am I really the one to bring this into being? Then I remember, if not me who, if not now when?
This is by far the biggest event I’ve ever organised. At the same time I feel strangely prepared. Kind of like my whole life has organised its self around me being here and now at this time in this place ready to bring this exciting afternoon of women’s wellness into being.
Dramatic……..maybe but I’m not going to pretend this isn’t a big deal for me. It really is. When we stand up and say pick me, listen to me, allow me to share my vision, please believe in me, it is a BIG deal. It means we hold ourselves up to the light for all our flaws and imperfections to be seen. We have to rally the courage to fail publicly, to learn as we go, to make mistakes!
We started tonight with a fantastic planning meeting for this exciting new event. With eight amazing women who are passionate and knowledgeable, connected, kind and wise. I felt so blessed to be in their presence, supported and surrounded by their love, their creativity and kindness.
I was excited like a little girl at show and tell to reveal the vibrant look of our beautiful attendance gift; the ‘admit one’ tickets that we’ll use to make sure all our attendees can experience wellness first hand. I was so pleased with myself to share the beautifully designed and beautifully printed tickets that are the something special women can pop in their purse to remind them of the fabulous day they have to look forward to. When………..Lisa astutely pointed out that she didn’t think St Bridget’s was spelt like that.
Oh spell check, where were you on this one?
Sure enough, on all of our beautiful tickets I have spelt St Brigid’s wrong. Fail!
Oh the irony as I had to repeat year four at St Brigid’s oh so many years ago for literacy issues 🙂
What can I say, editor of Living Wellness or not my strength is not spelling or attention to semantics, my gift is a passionate heart that cares. Picking myself up and brushing myself off, I forgive myself for this embarrassing oversight on the tickets. Sad as I am to have beautiful tickets with a misspelled location, I trust people will know what I mean. Women will find their way to the St Brigid’s Sports Stadium and they will have an amazing afternoon discovering wellness.
What matters is what matters, perfection can go and get stuffed. I’m here to have fun making a positive difference. Loving me right on through, the show must go on!
Hope to see you Sunday the 14th of October 1-5pm at the St Brigid’s Sports Stadium, Para Rd Evanston. Ticket’s $35 before the day, get yours here.
