anxiously awaiting news.....

Just wanted to report that (no surprise) Wendy was awesome!!!!!

Her presentation really rocked and it was well received by everyone in the audience. There were 10 finalist presentors and 5 guest speakers. We stayed for 8 and, of those, Wendy's was hands down the best!

We got there super early and had a great spot up front and then opted to move up to the balcony to get a better photo angle. It was probably a bad call because our photos came out very bad. I will post them tomorrow, but I warn you, they are not good.

Jackie and Bill were also there and sat with us. I think I may have spotted Stacey and her hubby, but I'm not sure. I was looking for WISH shirts, but I was the only one wearing it. (John carried his.)

I hope she is able to post a link to the presentation tomorrow so you all can see how fabulous she was. Plus, I gotta admit, this was the first time I ever saw our Miss Wendy with make-up and she looked gorgeous!

Thanks for the report Jeanne! Wendy rocks!!

So, I made it home in one piece.

Honestly, I couldn't tell you one thing I said -- I was terrified. But folks kept laughing, and I think that was a good sign.

It's a good experience facing your fears. I think that's half the reason the marathon appeals to me so much -- there is always that element that is COMPLETELY out of your control, you never really know how things will turn out. Tonight was like that.

Thanks for all the pixie dust! I got interviewed by the news folks and lots of folks hugged me and told me I did great, so I think all that positive energy worked. Honestly, there were so many great speakers, though. I hope I said enough about WISH to make them interested.

THANKS for all the GREAT photos too -- they made my presentation shine!

As soon as they release the video, I'll post the location.

For now, it's waaaay past my bedtime and tomorrow is a working day!

Can't wait to see the video, Wendy!

Sounds like it went great Wendy. I know we have not ever officially met but to me you are one of the most recognizable energies out on the race course. I distinctly remember you blowing by me in California Adventure last year with a big smile on your face. It sounds that energy I recognize carried over into your presentation and since that is the case I know it was a success without even seeing the video. Though I am still looking forward to seeing it.

Wendy ROCKS!

DH and I were there last night (full disclosure - we only stayed for the first 4 presentations, since Wendy's was the 3rd), and she did GREAT! The first presenter was okay, but she inserted "um" into every phrase, and her topic was only moderately interesting. The second guy was prepared, but boring. Then Wendy took the stage, and the entire mood of the evening changed! The crowd was completely into it (and the place was packed), and everyone cheered and applauded many times. The pictures were fabulous - Jeanne and John and Bill and I were tickled to see ourselves at the Half water stop last year (I know the people around us were confused! ) We were thrilled to be a part of the WISH team, and Ignite Raleigh.

Way to go Wendy!

Jackie

Way to go Wendy! You Rock! We knew you'd be great, though! Hope work isn't too hard today adn you are still floating on the adrenaline cloud.

Thanks for the review Jackie. SO WISH I could have been there too!

Way to go Wendy! Congratulations!

congrats! can't wait to see the video!

 

[getnthinr]

Jackie and Jeanne -- Don't build it up too much -- You're setting some pretty high expectations! Seriously, thanks for your very generous (and somewhat biased) reviews!

OK, gang, the plan is that the videos will eventually appear here, but they are not there yet.

As I told EVERYONE with whom I spoke -- I had a great topic. The energy, camaraderie, team spirit, etc., etc. of the WISH team makes for a great presentation. All I had to do was deliver. You have provided so much inspiration. I really think it's the online groups like ours that make the world a better place by changing one life at a time. Wouldn't you agree?

 

[ultramickeymouse]

Great job Wendy! I knew you would knock their socks off!

 

[Honeibee]

Oh my gosh this is very exciting! Way to go Wendy! I can't wait to see the video!

Wendy!!! You are awesome! So so proud of you and inspired that you could face something that scares you. Sounds like it went really well and I hope you are still on a giant high
