Fear: Not so scary after all.

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
  1. No one will care about what I have to say and no one will read my blog
  2. Not being chosen to adopt by birth parents
  3. Not being cutout to be a writer
  4. 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.
