Tentatively Sticking My Toe in the Water...

Okay, I took the first step! I'm not exactly sure how I ended up in this place today. I had no idea I was headed here when I left this morning, but undeniably all road signs seemed to indicate that this was my ultimate destination. I knew I wanted to do the project, I just didn't realize that I was going to be called on to do it with this level of visibility and accountability!

A few well-placed encouraging friends (some of which also happen to be related as well...pretty nifty trick in today's world!) acting as guides, I find myself timidly speaking into a cyber microphone with my fingers...trying not to allow myself to run and hide....are you SURE I can/should do this?? Isn't it the height of arrogance to imagine someone is remotely interested in what I have to say? People will laugh at me! Oh geez....who is RUNNING that inner tape recorder?! Turn that off!

Okay...better make that A Journey WELL OUTSIDE MY COMFORT ZONE!! Hopefully I will arrive at my 50th birthday with a more organized home, a healthier body, a more nurtured soul, a deeper sense of purpose and a working balance between them all.

  2. Aha! You always denied knowledge of the origin of your middle son's talents...Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire! I'm soooo glad you're doing this. Now you can bless many with a ;-) or a ROTFWMP. You go girl!
