  • Don’t concentrate on perfection! For it doesn’t exist. Perfection is a word that was invented to confuse beginners. All great adventures begin somewhere, but not at the start line called “Perfection.” They begin with a simple action plan: “-Ready-set -Go”
  • A short inspiring daily mantra. Repeat to believe. 🌿
  • What did I learn in overcoming public speaking fear? 🌿Say no to perfection. Don't strive for perfection because it's a subjective term that was probably invented to confuse beginners. I don't believe in perfection but in excellence, which can be achieved through real-time practice. The first step is like a declaration, the beginning, putting forward the energy of wanting more. First, public speaking experience has to happen if you want to have more of them later. It takes time for a baby to stand up and feel confident walking, learn the alphabet, and ride a bike. In adulthood, learning to drive and overcoming the fear of driving alone takes time. Everything good takes time. The same should be applied to public speaking. 🌿Power of the dress. Use the Power of the dress to empower yourself; pay attention to your outfit. While dressing nice doesn't guarantee success in public speaking or any other personal self-growth adventure, it certainly adds some extra points in confidence and a good mood. When you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, your life becomes brighter, more colorful, and cheerful. And clothing is a simple, affordable way to add those "feel good" extra points. 🌿Surround yourself with love. That comes from people who support you: your family, friends, and colleagues. I realize that not all of us are lucky to have them as cheerleaders, but I hope we all have at least a few people who feel that way. Having friendly support can't be overemphasized! My husband is my primary cheerleader, also my parents and friends. And I want to say special thank you to Isabel @isabelfrancobaracal an associate at the Alpharetta Library who helped me organize the public speaking event and provided emotional support and friendly hugs afterward. The Alpharetta Library has many excellent programs that are free for the public. It also has great facilities to host a public speaking event. If you are looking for interesting events in your town, visit a local library and check out their events list.
  • This is The Veiled Rebecca. A 19th century sculpture carved out of marble in Italian neoclassical style by the sculptor Giovanni Maria Benzoni. It depicts a biblical figure of Rebecca placed on a marble pedestal. Veiled women were a popular sculptural motif among Benzoni and his colleagues in 19th-century Italy. This work highlighted the artistry of the sculptor since achieving the illusion that stone is fabric clinging to a body requires a high level of skill. You can see The Veiled Rebecca in the @highmuseumofart in Atlanta and several other museums around the world. #artmuseum #museum #visitmuseum #museumlover #museumart #museums #museumday #museumofart #museumlove #createarteveryday #museumexhibit #museumfun #museumsoftheworld #vogueart #healingarts #healingprocess #exploretocreate #womensupportingwomen #womenempowerment #remembertosmile #excitingactivities #excitingtimes #artlifeculture #changelifeart #beautifulartwork #beautifularchitecture #beautifulplaces #beautifuldecorstyles #enjoyart #statues
  • I prefer to work for my dreams, then try to fit someone else’s expectations. How about you? 🌿
  • What to do when your dream is also your biggest FEAR? Public Speaking has been one of my biggest dreams for a long time. Next week I will talk about photography in the Alpharetta Library. Photography something that I was doing for 15 years, something that I love with all my heart, something that’s been my devotion for years. Getting ready for this presentation, I went through all types of emotional hurricanes of “NOT ENOUGH NESS.” Growing up in a culture where speaking out oftentimes has life-threatening consequences, I learned to be silent. For fifteen years, I have been a photographer and talking through my images. That was my voice. I communicated through photos, a visual representation of reality. What a surprise when I admitted to myself that public speaking is my biggest dream. I sometimes ask myself, how did that happen?! I went to public speaking courses after graduating from the University but never practiced it. I went to theatre classes in Cancun, but because of the Pandemic, they were closed. Every attempt at public speaking resulted in insignificant results, but I kept dreaming. Managing my own photography business for many years, I was in a constant “TO DO” mode and forgot to turn on “TO FEEL” mode. Now I know that to do public speaking and to tell stories that motivate and inspire, I have to learn to feel and allow myself to be emotional. At some point, I began blogging; that was how I started discovering my real voice. Then I tried public speaking in Open Mic in Alpharetta Library. But the FEAR was still there. I read books about public speaking and watched videos, but it feels like that doesn’t matter now. KNOWLEDGE can’t help to fight fear because FEAR is irrational. It’s there although I didn’t invite it. I can’t control it or fight it. So, why not just stop fighting and let it go? Grab its hand, walk together, and step up on the stage. I am real, and my fears are real, but I will do it anyway because isn’t that how dreams come true?! YOU JUST DO IT. How do you fight your fears?
