What a way to start the week! ✨
Today I spoke at Coventry Vision Hub to a group of around 15–20 people living with sight loss. 👁️
The ages in the room ranged from about 60 to over 100 years old.
People navigating sight loss, hearing challenges and mobility issues… yet still showing up for community, connection and conversation.
That alone is inspiring. 🙏
I shared a little about Toastmasters 🎤 and invited them to visit Godiva Speakers in Coventry.
Then I introduced them to my BLIGNITE framework:
🌬️ Breath
❤️ Love
😂 Laughter
🎯 Intention
🙏 Gratitude
🌿 Nature
🍎 Ingest
💭 Tell ourselves
☀️ Enjoy
And yes… I sang the BLIGNITE song. 🎶
One of the highlights was Dave, the main volunteer who keeps the Vision Hub running.
He’s nearly 80, has volunteered for decades and even received an MBE for his service. 👏
And then something slightly mad happened…
We ended up singing “A Whole New World” from Aladdin together. 🎶
Dave as Aladdin.
Me as Jasmine.
Totally unplanned.
Slightly mad.
Great fun.
Afterwards Dave kindly took me out for lunch in Earlsdon. ☕
Speaking, singing, connecting and meeting wonderful people.
Not a bad way to start the week.
