I have asked myself this question many times...it was originally posed by the one and only Oprah on one of her last shows. I gallantly answer the question "what are you afraid of" with the simple answer of God and the weather...but I know my fears are way more deep rooted than that.
Today a friend asked me why I waited 10 years to publish a book of poetry that has been literally sitting on my computer since 12/22/2002. I replied I was afraid. Afraid of my own greatness, afraid of being criticized by those who don't understand me. Afraid of success. Just afraid.
So today I want to push fear into a corner and not be afraid anymore. I want to live boldly and in my truth. I'm not living small anymore. I'm publishing my book(s), I'm drawing/painting the pictures that live in my head and heart. I'm going to sing and record again.
I'm living.
