Excitement and fear are basically the same things in our bodies. It’s the stories we tell ourselves that determine which category it falls under. My words for 2018 are ‘whole expression’. I am choosing to step into greater authenticity and to stop editing what parts of me I think others may ‘be ready for’. Part of this process has been posting more here. Part of it is sharing my writing. I just submitted my first piece to an online publication. This face is how I feel. Part excitement, part fear... but the fear is just letting me know how close this is to my heart... how much my ego senses we have to lose... how soulful and passionate this calling is. So why wouldn’t I do it anyway?
