My palms are sweating. The ball of nerves are hitting me all over again. It’s real. It happened. I didn’t dream it. And now it’s out there for the world to see forever on the greatness that is youtube.
All of my friends know that I am a social introvert. In fact, you know it too by now. So I’ve been ignoring the posts from my Listen to Your Mother about how our videos would be released on July 9 at 11am. But now I can’t escape it. I can’t outrun it. It’s here and it’s happening. You know how nervous I was that day and how nervous I was to even audition. Today I am nervous about exposing myself further, but I”m also super excited to show myself to you. So, without further ado, here’s…me.

Yay! You know I loved your piece. 🙂

I love your piece…I am reading Maya Angelou’s memoir right now, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” and your piece reminds me of this line: “Even the nurses in the hospital told me that now I had nothing to fear, ‘The worst is over for you,’ they had said.” I found that line in the book so poignant, and it feels so true to me – that when hard things happen, and we rise above them and survive and are better for them, we grow more fearless and open to all of the good in life. I hope sharing your story makes you feel fearless and proud; strong and full of love and hope. Hearing it made me feel those things. Well done. xoxo
