Ribbon Spool Notes

Inspired by my project here, Jen Benoit made this project here. Isn't that fun? I'm so glad she let me know!

Today is another crazy busy day so I don't have much time to post so I'll leave you with a quick thought from Eleanor Roosevelt.

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, I loved through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along...You must do the thing you think you cannot do."

This really pertains to my mental state today. I'm fearful. I'm working on my first project for a company after my major stumble a week ago. Yes, I've done projects since then, but they were solely for me. They weren't for someone else. There wasn't anything at stake.

I'm scared. What if they don't like it? What if I really don't have what it takes? What if I really am a sham?

I'm forcing myself to take risks with this project. I'm not allowing myself to play it safe. I know that I just need to get right back on that horse. The first ride after a fall is the hardest. After that it will get easier again. I know that.

I can do this.

I know it.

oh Bethany. You DO have what it takes. You are such an inspiration in so many ways.. I understand your fear but I want to release you from it.

TRust your self, let your passion show and nothing can go wrong!
