Empty Nest: Another Chance to Conquer Fear

Empty Nest: Another Chance to Conquer Fear

  I blew up last night. Anger burst up and out of me before I knew what happened. Sure, there was a trigger. Something that might frustrate anyone, although I don’t get frustrated so much anymore. But it threw me into orbit and I didn’t see it coming. And I would have never guessed that […]

In a world consumed with wanting to be accepted, it’s hard to imagine how much time and emotion has been spent wondering if someone would answer with a “yes” or “no.” Whether for a job or […]

“What if?” Challenge #5

"What if?" Challenge #5

Success. The idea can bring both excitement and dread, in almost the same moment if I’m not careful. For every opportunity that has come my way, I’d hate to know how many hours I spent worrying if I was going to fail, even before I got started. Hundreds of anguishing moments. And all for nothing […]
