This reminds me of an interview I saw with Barbara Walters about her book “Audition”. Oprah interviewed her and inquired about the title. That’s when Barbara replied something to the effect of “all my life I’ve felt like I’ve been auditioning.” Isn’t wild we can all feel this way. Thanks for sharing and for reminding us to be present- soak it in- and feel our successes.

From one of your biggest fans,
Nikki

So far, so good! I think Dee would get so excited by the responses from her audience that she would be compelled to get online. Thank you for your comments.

Congratulations, Jane! I know you came to the blogosphere kicking and screaming, but it looks terrific and I’m sure it’ll be a great service to a great many people.

I must say, I’m laughing. When you told me you had launched the blog, you said you felt “exposed.” I answered by email because I felt too “exposed” to answer by blog post…and in your reply you begged me to post anyway so you could see how it worked – wondering, I think, how long it would be before you’d have the opportunity otherwise.

Now when I get a chance to post a few hours later, I find that more than a dozen people have beaten me to the punch. So stop worrying, listen to your own advice, and blog away! Enjoy the ride…I’m right behind you!

Congratulations for shutting your eyes tight and taking the big leap. I am considering that for Dee but she doesn’t use a computer as it would take time away from her hand drawing, so I would have to talk to her and type for her. But it might be able to be incorporated within http://www.ClubPosh.com . I don’t know.

But the reason for my response is to say the first word above, CONGRATULATIONS!

Jane, you are fantastic! You are a moving force in my life and a shining example of how following our passion, absolutely, manifests abundance, even when it is scary. Ah, there goes that force again….. I’m inspired to complete my next scary thing — have a sample made of my sweater. Happy blogging.

Jane – I was talking with a wonderful friend yesterday about success. She was sharing about feeling like a failure, a feeling I have struggled with many times in my life. One of the most wonderful gifts I have received in working with amazing women (you included!) is that I suffer the most from feelings of inadequacy when I am comparing myself to others – and that comparison can run the gamut from their successful business, their beautiful clothes, great hair, their “popularity” (wow, those old feelings from high school can still rear their ugly heads!) – pretty much anything given where my psyche is at the moment. So today, I do my best to guage my success internally, not through what I imagine others may or may not be thinking about me. The key word in that last thought is “imagine”. I’m so busy judging myself that I “imagine” everyone else is also! My life is wonderful – I am blessed with a loving family, fabulous friends, work that contributes to our family finances, but more importantly, gives me the flexibility to be available to enjoy our daughter while she’s still home (only two more years until college – how did that happen!!). Thank you for this blog – what a wonderful way to express the joys and challenges of our journeys.

Jane-Congratulations on this next step! Your endless encouragement and positive support serve as a lighthouse for the creative entrepreneur like me: always flashing a ‘you can do it’ next step signal. Glad that you’ve jumped aboard and have started the blog!

Jane – How great to have your insight and wisdom available on a daily basis! I wish you lots of success with your blog. The advice someone gave me when I started was -”Just keep writing it.” Very important, as it is true with any exercise routine or practice. You’re so right about success. And once you’ve stopped doing whatever intense endeavor you committed your every waking moment to for years, it does feel really good to go slow. I know it gave me the space to see what I was doing with the other parts of my life so I could start to enjoy them.
