So, like, i had annual meeting and it was v scary to plan and it went mostly fine!

If i say mostly people want to know what wasn't fine and it's small details (should have had 2 lines for the catering, I stuttered on a sponsor's name, etc, didn't connect to the internet in advance of presentation?!?! I thought i was connected!!) I could list ALL The things I could do differently to improve for next time, much like a performance: Even if it is really very good there are things you can improve.

However perfection is boring a lot of the time, and obsessing about the little details that didn't go right would miss the point, and overall:

* got a great newspaper article about all we're doing
* my bosses are happy with it
* got a couple compliments on my terrifying format
* got people who want to get involved & volunteer
* people are calling me a rock star (not the point of the thing, but that's cool, and what do you say?)

So, YOU know that all this came from terrifying crippling fears & tears, and internal growth. It feels uncomfortable to admit success on a thing! Like, braggy, full of jinxes, etc.
BUT IT WAS A SUCCESS

(and the point of the event, was not to have a successful event, but to share how much we're being called to do and how we need more volunteers/help)
