~Surprising myself~
I thought I knew myself…
the quiet unassuming girl
always playing it safe
uncomfortable trying new things
never wanting to put myself "out there" for the world to judge
not needing to be challenged
not wanting to achieve any public recognition for a job well done
~My Reds~
Yes….I thought I knew my myself until last February when I opened my Inbox only to find an e-mail from Jo Packham {a name I must admit I had never heard before..which I blame on my Canadian book stores for their poor selection of American magazines} Little did I know that when Jo asked me "maybe we could work together on a project if you have some extra time" she was handing me a huge gift that would change my life forever!
~My Pinks~
That was my introduction into the world of Where Women Create/Where Women Cook…Jo's "magical fast paced..challenge yourself everyday …never knowing what is going to happen …never play it safe WORLD"!
This whole process has been a huge learning curve for me even though my role is very small…I started knowing nothing about everything… but I am so glad I uncharacteristically took a running leap at this amazing opportunity without letting my "safe rational side" talk me out of it.
All of a sudden I am in this lovely world where everyone "gets me"…we all share the same passion and interests. I have always had an artistic side but never anyone to share it with..my blog was started just for me…no one from my world was ever really interested in reading it.. and could not quite understand what all the "blogging fuss" was about. To tell you the truth most of the people around me still do not "get it". I am so thankful that I "get it" and you "get it" and Jo "saw it" in me.
Life is full of opportunities….but only if you say YES! Surprise yourself and see what happens.
