I wanted to share a joy with you, something I’ve experienced since I
attended  the workshop at Red Mountain in August.

For my entire life, I have always experienced terrible, debilitating
performance anxiety when speaking, singing, or playing musical instruments.
Since learning EFT four years ago, I have repeatedly tapped on this issue
and anything that comes up surrounding it; but I have never completely
succeeded in eliminating enough of it to speak comfortably in front of a
group. It seems that the Dressing Your Truth program was the missing piece
that finally eliminated this handicap for me. I’d like to tell you what
happened.

I am a member of an environmental group, and one issue that I have taken the
time to research is single use plastic bags and their impact on Creation. I
volunteered to give a presentation on this subject  to a group looking for a
speaker. That alone was a huge step for me, but I felt compelled to share
what I feel is important information.

I prepared very carefully. Thinking that with my usual anxiety it would be
insurmountably difficult for me to speak, answer questions, and facilitate
discussion for an hour, I put together a PowerPoint presentation where half
of the slides contained a link to a short video found on the Internet. I
know that the building where I was to speak has wireless Internet because it
is in our small downtown area where our public utility has provided that
service.

I carefully chose the clothing I wore to my presentation, according to the
information I learned from you. I still have difficulty seeing whether a
garment is within my Type 2 color palette, but I think I came pretty close.
I know the line, texture, fabrication and pattern were correct. I have a
much easier time seeing those elements. I’ve  let my hair grow out, too, so
that the waves fall more softly. I was feeling more confidence in my ability
than ever before, thanks to your help in learning how to present myself.

When I arrived at the site, I set up my laptop and the projector and then
attempted to connect to the wireless Internet. No signal could be found. We
ultimately tried three other locations in the building, but never found a
strong enough signal to which I could connect. Suddenly I was faced with the
stark realization that I was going to have to fill the hour without any of
the video material.

In a situation that previously would have caused me to panic and feel like
crying, I felt perfectly serene. Standing in front of the group without even
a podium or table to hide behind, I explained how the video material was not
available and proceeded to give the whole presentation without it and
without a trace of nervousness. The audience was so receptive and gracious,
asking questions at just the right time so that I was prompted to elaborate
on important points that the videos would have made for me. The hour was
almost up before I remembered that I had some written notes to use! I hadn’t
even needed them.

Long story, but I want to convey how much your assistance has meant to me. I
feel like I’m standing on the brink of many more occasions where I can honor
God by finally being all that He created me to be. Thank you for your part.
Blessings,

Carol Downs
