Happy Birthday Gaby!!!!

"Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities.
It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend...
when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that’s present -- love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure -- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth."


- Sarah Ban Breathnach

A very special birthday for our Vicepresident of Public Relations, Gabriela Garcia.

S112

The first session after we got back from Guadalajara and winning the International Speech Contest. Things have been hectic, but we are managing to get through.

The Toastmaster of the day was Victor Flores, with his very particular style he introduced his core team made up by Timer, Karina Hernandez; Grammarian, Violetta Rios and General Evaluator, Gabriela Garcia.

Two speakers delivered their speeches, Efren Zazueta, with project 8 from the basic communication manual called "Lie to me" and Hector Cartagena, with project 2 from the basic manual as well, presented "Aikido, the martial art of peace". The speakers were evaluated by Julio Rodriguez and Aydeli Rios.

Instead of Table Topics, those that went to the convention spoke about their experience, giving the spotlight to Dorina, who passed around the trophy and let everyone feel its power.

Another Delta Victory

And so, the adventure continues

So after 2 hour flight delay, sleeping in the wrong room, the real reason we came to Guadalajara was here: the International Speech contest.

This year, ten participants graced the stage. The last contestant was ours, Dorina Garza Leonard. The room was almost packed, but we were nervous.

When the moment came, she took the stage like a storm, drawing everyone into her speech "My children are to blame" I paniced when I didn't see the green light and she was about to wrap up.

After a few moments of stress and panic, the winners were announced.

Dorina snagged the first place, making her the first one to ever bring home this trophy


And now, time to prepare for Vegas
