Tales from the Qrypt – Life on Deck Prt 6

I’m a simple person, my idea of a perfect day starts with one of my favorite coffee blends and it usually ends with a breathtaking sunset and a glass of wine.  I was about ready to head back to the boat and relax on deck after laying under the waterfall for a bit. Today was already perfect for me but the others wanted to go to the hot springs.

Tales from the Qrypt – Life on Deck Prt 5

The following day we dropped anchor in beautiful St. Lucia! We were going to walk about a bit and check out some of the sights. I was excited to see the Piton Water Falls and the Sulphur Springs at Soufrière.  I pulled on a tank and sarong over my swimsuit then I realized that I hadn’t packed any  walking shoes! I had actually taken them out while I was packing for the trip then I’d decided not to bring them.

This was one occasion when traveling lightly wasn’t well thought out.  Luckily Eddie had some weird shoes – a cross between sandals and sneakers with wide velcro straps. I was thankful for them although I had to strap them tightly to my feet because they were a size too big !

What Scares You?

What scares you, is it a fear of heights? for some there’s nothing quite as scary as public speaking. While that may not be true for you, you would be surprised how many fear public speaking more than death itself! In fact, researchers say that public speaking and social anxiety are among the top 5 things most people are  afraid of.

I myself struggle with public speaking, although not so much because it scares me. It is a challenge because I am prone to becoming overly emotional when speaking on a topic I am passionate about. One would think that the easiest way to avoid the embarrassing loss of composure, is to simply avoid speaking about anything I am passionate about right? Wrong! The only thing I feel emboldened enough to speak about are those very things I am most passionate about! So therein lies the problem!

My first foray into public speaking was at my older brother’s wedding.
