As soon as the
words were out of my mouth, things started to challenge me. My husband and I decided to sell our house and look for a new
one. If I were to heed my
fear in the matter, I’d have stayed put.
I’d stay where I was comfortable and the place was known to me.
However, letting go of my fear demanded that I do this, that I
literally move on. The more
I settled in to the idea, the more excited I got about the prospect of a
yard, a garden, room for a dog, a new place to make my mark. But
behind everything, there is always the fear. Fear says to me,
in that nasty, quiet way it has, “Now you will be revealed as the
fraud you really are. You
don’t know anything. You
will fail and everyone will think you are a fool.
Go ahead and try. I
dare you.” So, a warning
dear reader, be careful what you wish for.
I suggested a challenge, bragged that I would now face my fears,
and the Universe was listening.
