It should be simple, writing a blog post every day, especially since I was 5 I wanted to be a writer telling stories. Yet, there is a certain amount of hesitation each time I start to write a blog post.

Let me tell you facts and figures because these are concrete and true. While I may have opinions on those facts and figures they are certain. Grades and teachers proved that I was good at those. Yet most of my writing was criticized, the papers would bleed from the red ink. So my dream of writing slowly became one of sorrow.

Yet, having written an almost weekly blog for at least 4 years, I have people tell me how much my writing means to them. Maybe it’s that I write from the heart, maybe I didn’t write the stories the way the teachers wanted… I don’t know.

But here is the deal, it means a lot to me to see comments, it makes me feel like I am doing something right. While at the same time, I have a lot of fear of writing. What if I don’t teach you? What if I don’t reach you?

So I worry, I am a writer, and worry about my writing. I am a writer and am afraid of sharing my writing with you. Doesn’t that sound absolutely absurd?

But then I can turn the question around easily enough, what are you afraid of? What are you not sharing with the world? What are you hiding?

I don’t care how much you say you are brave and fearless, we all have our fears doubts and insecurities. Yes, I would really love it if you commented below, it does help me to know I am reaching someone. But the bigger thing is take action. That’s where the hardest step is. Take action, push through your fear and do it anyway.
