Jon Acuff asked for people willing to
go on an adventure no questions asked. So I signed up. Turns out that
the adventure is easy but hard. Risk something that will get you
closer to your dream. It doesn't have to be a big risk just a risk
for you.
I decided to risk two things: Write
everyday. That has since changed to write a blog post everyday and
secondly to finish my adoption paperwork.
Guess which one has the harder one this
first week: if you guessed the daily blog post you would be wrong.
It is the adoption paperwork. So when I got Jon's e-mail this morning
it was timely:
Day 4: The big F-word
Nothing kills dreams like fear. Today,
it's time to face a few of ours. Your task is to write down your
biggest fears in your journal. That's it, today! I just want them
to hit paper.
Here are mine in no special order
- No one will care about what I have to say and no one will read my blog
- Not being chosen to adopt by birth parents
- Not being cutout to be a writer
- Getting organized means that I'll get stuff done. Getting stuff done means that I'll be putting myself out there.
Now that my fears are written down they
don't look scary. I think that was the point of the assignment.
