Dear Reader,
Congratulations to the winners of the April Chocolate Chip Cookie Giveaway: Jennifer M., Westchester Public Library, Marian W., Springville Road Library and Sherri G. Get ready to dunk and munch, your cookies are on the way.
I'm a brave soul--usually up to the challenge of taking on something new. But every now and then when I'm about to start a new beginning, I get cold feet. If I'm not careful, the butterflies in my stomach can quickly build into a bad case of stage fright. So I've come up with a way to trick myself into thinking that what I'm doing is really no big deal.
Instead of telling myself that I'm doing something I've never done before, I label the new thing an "experiment." If I'm conducting an experiment and it doesn't work out, that's okay. That's why people test things. Putting an R&D stamp on a new endeavor takes the pressure off of me. All of a sudden it's not a win/lose, good job/bad job situation--it's just something that I'm trying, to see if it will work.
Cold feet? I live in Florida so my toes are always toasty, and lately I’ve been adorning them with uniquely, designed socks. Since it was time to toss out all of my old white ankle socks (that I wear every day), I decided to replace them with color. To see my new finds, click here.
