		<description>Oh, I like that quote too! Thanks for reminding me of it. Our pop culture certainly does make tearing down another person entertainment, doesn&#039;t it? I don&#039;t like any of those shows.

I&#039;m not sure why I drag my feet so much. I&#039;m certainly called to take care of a lot of things, but I find that even when opportunity opens up, I can put the brakes on myself.

Well, all we can do is keep trying. Right now, I&#039;m trying to take care of things and get acclimated to all these changes.

So good to see you here, MovingForward. &lt;3</description>

		<description>Hi friend! It&#039;s movingforward...I know how you feel about being afraid to really show yourself. As for me, I&#039;m afraid of negative criticism and in the past I did get a lot of it rather than encouragements. But also our pop culture does create and perpetuate our fears of being in the spotlight and  where people can definitely tear you down. 

Perhaps the trick is to be yourself, be true and believe in what you are doing despite what other people say. 

Then again - here&#039;s another quote that I like:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.&quot; - Marianne Williamson</description>
