Chatting and Coupons

I had nine people at my house last night for my first Coupon Chat meeting. It was a blast. I did a full presentation - Powerpoint and all! Wow. 15 minutes before kick-off time I about threw-up as reality hit me "What in the world am I doing? I'm not ready for this!! I can't speak in front of people. What will they think of me?? What if they think I'm not knowledgeable enough? What if they think I act like I know-it-all? blah, blah, blah . . . " on and on. And then the doorbell rang . . . and it was a very good friend of mine. RELIEF!! I didn't even know she was coming, and I was instantly filled with joy and a sense of confidence. Thank you, Lord!!

It was a good time. They are coming back next week for session two. I am only planning for two sessions at this time - just to see how it goes. But I am possibly thinking that if there is enough interest, we might turn it into a monthly meeting.

It was really cool because one of the women brought a friend with her that I had never met before. New friends are awesome. AND, one of my neighbors who came, said that she invited another neighbor, and even though she couldn't come last night, she would be interested in the future.
