You know that feeling, you think your mind is set and then your feet start to shuffle slowly, you start to think I'm not good enough, what was I thinking?! Should I do it anyway, in spite of my fear, my doubt?! I'm not frozen in one place or am I? If I don't start putting myself out there, will I wonder, what IF?! You bet...so will you! We have to keep pushing the envelope, move onward and upward, try, try again... We have to take the first step, think positive, take at chance, risk it all, expect the best, follow your bliss, etc. There is so much talent and undiscovered talent, don't we owe it to ourselves to push forward and see what we can do.
Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there”

Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't. ~Eleanor Roosevelt
When in doubt, do it anyway; Taking these tiny steps toward your goal, releases your soul, allows sunshine to fill the cracks of doubt. We all carry the burden of what if, we if don't try... Even if we don't succeed, knowing we tried, gives us courage to continue to have faith in ourselves and continue on the path of loving what we do. Do what you love or at least take tiny steps towards it. You will grow into your best self~

Your write was very inspirational and I loved it.

Hi Yvonne-I use to tuck my ideas aside, other matters needed more attention. I really think you need to submit some of your poems in or make a book on http://www.blurb.com/ Your work is lovely~
Hi Alex-Yes, you are doing it,but you must of had cold feet at some point in time?! Bravo, for moving forward and look where you are...I can't wait to read your dream turned reality~
Will-any time; You have motivated me to look at things differently, too~ You're welcome~
I just put some corrections in a few chapters to send to my writing sisters... doing the blog thing until dinner, then will get back to the WiP
The whole look of this page is amazing. Great job.
As for your sentiments.........I wrote a story about that very thing and will be posting it right after my Project Genesis post is over - it will be up for a few days to give people time to find it.......then watch for Love Song to Clayoquot Sound...........
Great job on your site, it looks way cool.
By the way, I love your photography. Any tips for photoshop? I'm trying to learn it on my own.

Basically, I just layer stuff, lace, waxed paper,
etc. It gives it an unique look....
If you find a good one, let me know...
Thank you so much! Best hint, get close, fill the frame and play with your camera. We have the advantage of taking 10 of 1 pic and we can delete.
Thank you so much~
Sherry-I look forward to your posts, they sound fascinating~ I do look my grandmother; I have been told this and her young photos, there is also a resemblance. Two little girls just a find online, I wanted to use them in this art piece. I think they might be twins or the same child in a series of shots. Thank you so much... I look forward to your sentimental post and the Love Song!!!
Hart-Thank you; I love the look, the clothing and the stories one can imagine just looking at them! I have a young girl age 14; I think I could write a book, just from this one photo!
You can do it!!! It is a mindset; once we make up our mind...same for me, with exercise and eating well(healthy). Wax paper does give it a warm, magically quality~
You all are convincing me, I need to submit these, Thank you!
Is that a reason not to try? No. But it can make it so much harder than it should be to try, fail and try again.
Sherry-I could see why this would be a hard subject to edit. You must relive it every time you begin. Why not start your life story now...
then edit the other book. It may help you to reverse this order. I would love to read your story, a different book every decade...mmmh, yeah, I think I could do that as well...lol!
My truth is so strange that it would read like fiction.
Do tell, you n' grease don't mix?!
