Yesterday Beyond Blue invited me to join their blueVoices national reference group.
I was stoked! … Not in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine BB asking me this!
I said YES!
As a member, I’ll be expected to voice my personal experiences on their committees, on community awareness campaigns and research studies.
In the future, I could be asked to speak publicly at forums or to the media about my personal experiences through the Ambassador Program …YIPES!
So I better hone those public speaking skills! I knew being a Toastmaster would be handy one day!
I feel so proud to be invited to the blueVoices program, and to be part of an organisation that helps so many in the Community … I can hardly wait until my training begins.
PS … Still waiting to hear from the Publishers!
Congrats Karen! This is a great opportunity for you to shine.
Well done Karen. Sounds like you will be busy (or busier than you already are)!!
Karen, I have only two words to say to you, darl: well done! Looks like all that positive book karma projection is paying off. Joanna :))
Good news. I just hope the publishers come back to you too!
That’s awesome. Congratulations! I know how important voices of experience like yours are to helping people deal with their own issues. It’s great to see someone using their difficult times for good. I heard someone once say, “Why let a good trial go to waste?” It seems to me you’re following their advice. Good luck!
Fantastic news Karen. What a great opportunity. Keep pushing those good vibes out there girl. It’s working, and well deserved – never doubted it! X
Well done Karen. You will be so effective in this role. And congrat’s to BB for recognising your qualities.
That’s just wonderful. You really are rolling uphill fast. Talk about momentum! This is such wonderful opportunity on so many levels. I get the feeling you will be a terrific huge-hearted speaker. Looking forward to hearing more…
Wow Karen! All these doors opening and you pushed them open. Awesome! Well done. On another note. . . 8.30 sounds waaaay better than 7.00. I’ll be there!
Karen, I just sent you a ‘well done’ but the computer is telling me it didn’t send properly. Did you get it?
Thanx Robin, I received all three of your comments for the blueVoices BLOG. ( Deleted one that was repeated!) Much appreciated!!
heard anything yet?
Hi Lynn, Playing the Waiting Game with the Publishers. Keeping busy … writing my Crime Novel. When I hear something I’ll let you know!
That is absolutely fantastic Karen. You are well up to taking that role on. Congratulations.
