It’s OK to worry that no one will like her, but in the end, it really doesn’t matter. It’s far more important to breathe life into your creation. Someone will appreciate her for who and what she is. You may honestly be surprised at just how large that audience may eventually become!
this aligns with what i've been learning. action is better than inaction. Action leads to more choices and options than sitting in the "safety" of being still to hide and not be noticed or shot at. the 3 years I was in Portugal lead to the conclusion that it all comes down to trust in myself to have what it takes to handle anything that comes into my life. that's the wound to heal. the wound of when I lost trust in myself. I was very much conditioned to doubt myself and instead trust in Jesus. There was nothing more polar opposite to trusting Jesus than to trust in myself. So it was a zero sum situation and im not sure I ever trusted anyone in the end. So it still resulted in a loss of trust in myself, my body, my ideas, my intuition and my dreams. I'm 2 weeks away from my 49th birthday and wow some nights im wide awake with all that i haven't done. Which is when I make a list of all the things I have done to balance out the shame spiral.
Reminds me of "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take", whether you want to attribute that to Gretzky or Michael Scott...it will always be one of my favorite quotes. Good for you in having the perseverance to see this goal all the way through, for better or worse, and for taking your shot. Just getting to this point should be success enough. The rest is just a bonus.

Thanks Jeff - heck this is even a sports metaphor I understand because I used to play basketball 🙌
First a blogger...now an author...next stop, the WNBA!

In the distance, Wayne Gretzky cries.
