03-18-22 A Day full of moments
I was up early, working the treadmill and readying to go to the Women’s Wellness Workshop put on by the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce. I am grateful I said yes when offered a ticket by a client. The nervous energy was there until I arrived and found myself assigned to a table and found a seat beside a young lady who had done the makeup for Ash’s wedding. Emily and I got to chatting right away and I was able to suggest she rent the Studio for an event she is tasked to put on for a non-profit she works for and she is going to look into sponsoring a show for our next season for the major company she works for! Great networking and awesome to catch up with her. Also at our table were Shannon, Teri and one of the keynote speakers, Karen McAllister. It was lovely to meet them all and the day was full of great speakers, approaching our entrepreneurial enterprises in the same way we would approach our own wellness. The lunch was delicious, I really enjoyed the salmon. As the final hour was well under way, I received a call and felt I should take it so I stepped out. I am glad I did as it was a nurse doing the medical history for my surgery. We had a good long talk and she filled me in on more expectations and got my consent for the surgery and blood products. It was hard to go back in to the event as it really triggered all the fear again, made it real. The ladies were amazing and supportive. I shared my story and there was much love and some hugs. I really was glad I went. From there I headed to the now quiet office and filed and prepped some more tax returns before heading to the hockey game. For the first while I was alone as the family was all at a birthday party but Deanne and Bill showed up to make my night. The games for the next two days are against the Penticton Vees who are first in the league and have Josh Niedermayer playing for them. As Scott and Rob were two of my favourite Anaheim Ducks, it was a game to really enjoy. We kicked their butts! And in the third period I glance over the aisle to see the whole family sitting there, what a perfect end to the evening. I only wish I’d been wearing some duck gear… tomorrow… 🙂
