NAMI Speech tomorrow- Fun! Getting Ready… not so fun…

NAMI SPEECH TOMORROW in Eugene, Oregon!

I’m exciting to be back on the speaking circuit. I love to be in front of crowds making as many people laugh as a I can.  Bipolar can create some pretty funny stories! I don’t get nervous about the speaking- but getting ready is really hard. All the packing- clothes- hair stuff – shoes- books- makeup- etc etc.  Where to stay- …. all stuff that is probably fine for others.  It’s funny- talking in front of 100+ people is so exciting- getting my toothbrush in a bag is so stressful. Oh no! I just realized I forgot my toothbrush! I will have to buy one at the same time I buy a big cabbage.  The cabbage is a prop.

    O.K., someone’s got to ask . . . what do you do with the cabbage????

    • haha! If you are on my newsletter list, I have a newsletter called A Story About Cabbage. It’s by far my most popular newsletter. I will find it and put it on the blog. It tells the story making a salad with my mom one day! HEHEH Julie

    Hi Julie

    We met you at the Nami dinner when you sat at our table for a minute. Your talk was great, and I am hoping to connect with you on some family issues. It was great meeting you…

    I plan to make your blog a regular read…

    Thank you so very much for coming to Eugene. It was our pleasure to meet you and know your honesty is so refreshing and your understanding is real. Hugs a bunch….now how do we pay for the wonderful books we got at the Christmas gathering? We were told to go on your website and it would guide us. We were unable to find where we would be able to purchase without receiving more books.

    Thank you

    • Hello Cheryl! I’m glad you enjoyed the speech. I loved doing it. My goal was to make people laugh! The topic can be so serious- I wanted us to have fun. It was a lovely dinner. I have your email and will write you about the books. Julie
