Tea in a Coffee Shop

Hey! Thank you for meeting me at this coffee shop. You know I've been working on public speaking but I'm still pretty anxious about it. So what better way to get used to it than by reading to you for a little bit. I really appreciate you wanting to listen to me read so I can practice. I thought we'd start off with an old classic I loved as a child, L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. These chapters deal with Dorothy arriving into Oz and meeting the Munchkins. Lush scenery and simplistic visual elements make this such a good book to read and I hope you don't mind if I indulge in it.Grab a cup of coffee or tea and let's get startedSupport the show (http://ko-fi.com/staciehanson)
