On the third Thursday of January 1991, I started speaking for MADD Minnesota. I was terrified to speak and seriously, I used to break out in perspiration, run to the restroom to vomit in sinks, maybe deal with diarrhea, or just plain cry before going on stage to talk about drunk driving and how I impacted lives. It took years before the fear subsided and I was healed of debilitating guilt.
Tomorrow, I’m interviewing Candace Lightner, the founder of MADD, and current President of We Save Lives (wesavelives.org).
Seems like an apropos way to celebrate 32 years of speaking. She started speaking way before me and continues to use her Voice to uplift victims and make changes in our society. She knows I drove under the influence and killed a baby, yet she hasn’t treated me like garbage and never judges me that I know of. That makes her a hero in my book. While I never put humans on pedestals either in heaven or in hell, I am unapologetically an admirer of her spirit and work. She is a woman of consummate courage; she had to dig deeper than most of us to make sense of what oftentimes seems to be an insane world.
My Podcasts are not LIVE, but we might try to do one LIVE on LinkedIn. TBD.
I’ll post a link to the interview on my Blog tomorrow.
