That swirled in my head for days, weeks even, and the more it swirled the clearer it all became. The nugget of truth is that I have let my emotions (fear of failure and fear of success) drive my actions. When I just took that step and went ahead despite my fears, I learned to tap dance, write, blog, and more thoroughly enjoy the life I've been given.
Thanks for blogging about this 🙂

Now I use the thing with complete sang-froid.:)

Although both induce a bit of anxiety, I look forward to facing both fears!
