A Journey to Break Free
by Don’t let fear hold you back.
I know I am terrified for so many different reasons. I was an abandoned child, rejection for most people is a huge fear, but for me I feel it doubly knowing that my own flesh and blood did not even want me. I have experienced too many traumatic moments to go into. It is my dream and that in and of itself is terrifying. But, with everything in my heart I am fighting my fears. I am battling them back and forth everyday. Luckily, the President of the company, I believe, has a tremendously understanding heart. I believe he will try to work hard with me and give me as many chances as I need. We shall see, as part of my commitment then rejection of the job position, I believe, has to do with the fact that there is a similar struggle going on within myself. I also believe it is due to the fact that there are so many opportunities in the world and I don’t want to miss out on something better for me.
In other words, I still don’t know what to commit to and move forward with yet, but I do know that being able to put it down on paper and share it with you makes this process bearable; makes me know that I can get through anything. So, as always, to my readers, thank you with all my heart for caring and sharing my story. You are the family I wish I had always had. You are the support I have always needed. You are the non-judgmental ears I so desperately need; like a plant needs water to live.
My sincere best wishes and blessings to all.

Your courage in “living out loud” is very admiring and encouraging to others. I am included.

You are courageous to speak out on what is in your heart. When we open ourselves like this, we are extremely vulnerable. God will bless and take care of you. I am sorry that you were robbed. God will protect and look after you.

I love it when I can relate so closely to someone. I have just turned 50 and I am at a crossroads… My dream to write has been put on the back burner as well. All of a sudden, I am also realizing that since I do need to pay the bills, I can’t just quit everything and write but I can intergrate it into my world. Finding this site has been the blessing I have been looking for. I will be praying for your success as a writer! You have a great way of making the reader feel what you are feeling! Keep it up!
