Good evening. I must admit, I was a bit bewildered when I saw the thread title. In short, here’s what happened: I had not received confirmation of my questionnaire being received. My husband had and so I wondered what was going on. I was able to reach Addison yesterday afternoon and she suggested that I fill out a new one, which I did. A few hours later I received an email from the OOA saying that my application had gone to the Council due to my response to “name the first thing that comes to mind.” Not sure if I should share what that was, but, nonetheless, they asked that I explain my answer, which I did. (What I will say is that my response was raw and uncensored, it was 2:30 in the morning and I was doing my very best to be candid.) I then left a voicemail for the Council as follow-up, in an effort to be as thorough as possible.
I am extraordinarily honored that my message has been posted. My speaking voice is of significant personal and professional importance to me, and, thus, this feels like a bit of a sign. If only I could figure out a sign for what. My response was not meant to be flippant or disrespectful, and my hope is to clearly communicate that to the Council…
