BAY OF PLENTY: TIMES they could be a changin'

Woohoo! 

We are *just* over halfway now!!! So here's hoping, (and praying!) that this article will help shed some more sunshine on this Fundraiser.  And with 16 days to go, the adrenaline is pumping!

You can click on the picture and it should link you to the full Bay Of Plenty Times article.

(Not the best picture of me, but Hey, doesn't my Mama look beautiful!?) 

This journey has just been a roller coaster! Crazy, fast paced, crap your pants, kind of unexpected ride. From start to, well, now...
  This article is proof. Nothing is in my hands, and I'm glad. I couldn't in my wildest dreams imagine this journey would take this route!

I was contacted a few days ago by the peeps at Give A Little, saying that my Fundraiser had caught their eye! (Oh shucks...) They asked me if I was happy for them to send it to their list of Media peeps... Are you kidding?!

I said, "Heck Yes!" 

...well, not quite in those words. Haha! The next day I received an email from The Bay Of Plenty Times asking if I was keen to be interviewed. What!?

"Heck, Yes!"

... Okay, I didn't say that either. But I did do a little happy dance afterwards.

Friday Afternoon the reporter rang me to get "My Side" of the story. I have to admit my nervousness got to me. (Can anyone say, word-vomit much?!) Luckily, she knew how to make sense of SamaSpeak.
20 minutes later, and a couple of Ever interruptions, the interview was done and dusted. I sat back thinking, What next now, God?! And I say that with excitement and trepidation.

In the end though, I am so thankful that people have jumped onboard this journey with me. The support has meant a lot when I feel like sometimes I don't even know how I should feel... but that's another blog-post... [winky wink!]
