Today I've been looking through all of my quotes..they are scraps of paper with a quote, or a number, a reminder of some sort. I came across a few notes that I simply have forgotten where I found them or maybe I simply wrote them down..it reads, "It would be a shame to deprive the world of your talents simply because you are too intimidated by the other acts...don't hold back today." Another says, "If you feel that at the moment you aren't the most self-assured person in the world, take a look around you to see all you have done. True, you still have many unattained dreams, but look at how many you have already realized! Lack of confidence in your abilities is holding you back. There is a moment for everyone when a leap of faith is required. Its time for you to jump." I loved reading those quotes, lately I've been afraid of my future..that may sound silly to alot of people, but at this moment I'm afraid to do things that I'm sure I would be great at. I just need that leap..that jump and try. Maybe I wont be successful the first time, but at least I had try. Hopefully you all will try and do something that you are afraid of, you may surprise yourself at how incredible and wonderful you are. We are all hard on ourselves..when is time to praise our talents?

whit.. welcome. wow. i am so so so thrilled you have your own blog now. already you've got me thinking. i am afraid of too many things.
i am afraid my bundt cake will stuck to the pan. i am afraid of the unknown, what's to come.. i am afraid of not living 'in the moment' enough. i am afraid i'm not living up to my potential. i am afraid that someday my snacking habits will catch with to me. i am afraid of my own ignorance. i am afraid that i might offend people. i am afraid to go running at night alone. i am afraid i am addicted to my computer. i am afraid of never being a good enough friend. i am afraid that i will always envy your talents. whit, you are a wonder.
welcome! welcome! you're going to love this!
we are all afraid of things...i guess that's life...but if you just get out there and do something, how great do you feel? that accomplishment...it's the best feeling in the world...so get moving....
