Yesterday, I was speaking in the Division level competition of Toastmasters International Speech Contest. My speech, “Let Your Light Shine,” which tells the story of how and why I became The Doyenne of Death, won second place. Congratulations to Eric Tonningsen, who won first place with his riveting speech, “My Radiant Heart.”
Here’s how this version of “Let Your Light Shine” looked in the competition.

If Eric doesn’t make it to the District level competition at the Toastmasters District 23 spring conference in Lubbock, TX, I could still move up the ladder to the International competition. Live long and prosper!
