Yesterday, I took my “dog and pony show” on the road. My friend, Sarah asked me to be a guest speaker as part of her company’s “health & wellness” series because (a) she is a sweetie-pie and (b) she clearly needed a “filler” person to round out her roster. Even though I generally loathe public speaking, I couldn’t say no because, after all, this is my year of saying, “Yes!” to nearly everything that I am asked to do.

My lecture (in a nutshell) was about losing weight, following your passion and setting goals. Not that I am an expert at doing any of those things, but really what else do I have to talk about? Personally, I might have been interested in hearing about how to relieve stress by folding perfect origami cranes out of foreign currency from around the world – but sadly, “I” am a one trick pony – everything that I write about, talk about, blog about is all about me. Me! Me! Me!

Oh, I think it might be time for therapy.

ANYWAY, if you are a “Bacon” glutton and can’t get enough of my miscellaneous ramblings, I plan on to creating a little Youtube video out of my presentation. I seriously did not just put the lecture together for the 4 people that came to see me speak. Actually TWO people that came – the other two people there were my friends. Love you Sarah and Jeff. And I love the two other people that showed up too – they actually chose to be there. Or they were there for the raffle.

Where’s the number to the therapist again?

Until I sequester myself away for an afternoon of video editing, here’s a little picture of me (that I used in the presentation) in 1987:

That’s me, a perm, the Golden Gate bridge and about 20 sessions in a tanning bed. For the love of God.
