A couple of weeks back one of my girls told me
"Mum you're posting too much of FB about the Kenya stuff"I took that as constructive criticism, and started posting less but then the HC tells me "Bollocks, I love reading that stuff" and to be honest I take his advice seriously because this guy knows his stuff.
But right now, all I want is a definitive answer from a few people with regards to my Silent Auction. "Yes" or "NO" is all I need to know. Finding a venue is proving more difficult than I anticipated, and my guest speaker, I just need confirmation one way or the other if they are prepared to give their time, I appreciate peoples time is precious and these people have many commitments, so thats why I don't want to be pushy....
I'm one of those people that check their online banking everyday (I just love the ANZ iphone app), when I checked this morning, my eyes glanced down to the "Getting Jacqui to Kenya" account, I noticed another cash donation had been deposited overnight, and from a totally unexpected source, it was such a pleasant surprise to see support had come from a friend of a friend. As I've said before thanks is all I can give, Thank you, asante.
A chat with the HC this morning, reminded me of the constant level of support I have. Support be it from my fantastic mudrunning buddies, the generosity that appears from an unexpected source to the every present voice of the HC, it just reconfirmed I'm a very fortunate person. :o)
“Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things humans can do for each other.”
Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
Today's focus is not going to be Kenya, I have another very important event looming on the not too distant horizon and I'm ashamed to say that I've done little (read no) planning towards it, so I have to pull finger and make that happen too.
Asante
