Loved everything you shared here about Toastmasters in general and our group. Yes, I agree with the personal development vs. self-help - I feel that we really do need others to grow into our best selves and to really get out of our comfort zones. For your cool yarn coat... I think that Margaret and Edna were bff's for life, but when Edna's life came to an end, her family wasn't creative enough to think about all of the costumes they could use it for, and took it to good will. As the years have passed, they have realized it could have been used for so many things and are kicking themselves for giving it away - one of their biggest regrets. But lucky for the yarn coat, it is now greatly enjoyed by you and your many costumes to come from it.
I loved your thoughts and your imaginings of Edna and Margaret...I love to think both these fabulous ladies are delighted that The Yarn Coat lives on and is getting lots of appreciation, more than it was in the closet where it may have hung before the donation which brought it into all of our lives :)
