Nervous. Downright petrified.

Seriously. I feel all jittery even typing this.

I am really fearful to put myself out there. This blog has been active for more than a year. And I think I've only told one person that it exists. No, two.

I think people would be surprised if I told them I was scared to put myself out there. I project a lot of confidence in my daily life. I need to, as both a teacher, trainer, and consultant. In all aspects of my life I put out the vibe that "I've got this." Handled, covered, done. No problem.

And yet, when it comes to this part of me, this vulnerable side, I get all squeamy. What will people think? Will they take me seriously? Will they think I am ... (fill in the blank with all those terrible things we sometimes say to ourselves)

And how do you do it? How do you face the fear, keep breathing, and do it?

And then? This video literally dropped into my life.
