What dream have you shelved?

Last night I had a sleepless night after launching the social media platform to promote my upcoming memoir, WALK ON WATER.

I had just become satisfied with putting my story on paper, BUT then the next step is to find a publisher and readers and reviewers and, and, and…. The list was building in my head. My thoughts were racing.

I sat very still and said to myself, “You’re right, I am doing something very scary. It is hard to be 51 years old and uncertain and learning new things.”

When we are young, changes happen all the time. Little by little as we grow older, we think we can’t do anything new. I’m only 51 and my grandmother lived to be 91. Forty years allows for a lot of living and change; AND yes failing, but also succeeding.

Adding “author” to my resume is my dream. Self-doubt and second-guessing makes the dream stay on the shelf.
