I think it started with getting my restricted drivers license. I had to take 4 tries to finally nail it. Six months later, I now hold a full NZ drivers license. I passed the test in one go! My confidence shoot up and now i think I can manage the motorway or any other NZ road well enough.
I have picked up some really good frameworks to help address bottlenecks at work. And it blew my mind to confirm that I can try these out at work. And that it's ok to experiment.
I also found myself being in a writing workshop that was sponsored by the local council. I got my work published and the book was launched two months just after the workshop. Then I found myself at the NZ book festival last Saturday and it was amazing! I got to see lots of interesting works from local authors and also got to talk with them, some publishers, an illustrator and other interesting people in this industry. It was an amazing morning for me and my kids enjoyed their time as well.
Maybe it's because the place wasn't crowded that there was enough time for you to have a chat?
Maybe it's because people are open and welcome to share their craft?
I have been invited to give an inspirational talk to fellow Pinoys this Saturday. I have also been invited for dinner by our local MP who represents ethnic groups. I see these as opportunities to market our reading and book selling event at the Mount Albert library on the 27 November.
There is something in the air. There are loads of possibilities. Opportunities are everywhere.
I'm excited!
