A beautiful cycle of 'doing' by example from mother to children and back again. Ahhh that query letter is brilliant Paige and some excellent feedback. And the first pages!!! Truly, the agent's feedback that she feels like she's a novel. Congratulations!

Just WATCHING those gymnastics meets and baseball games is a practice in conquering fear. My kiddo is the flyer on her cheer team, and watching her practice/compete is terrifying.

Good luck querying!

Feeling the fear and doing it anyway! As Mary Oliver points out, we have one precious life. So go for it 😉

Yes! I think of that Mary Oliver quote so often...one precious life, and yet we worry about such nonsense, small stuff that doesn't matter!

Seriously. Wasn’t there a promise of being done with the fear by the time we’re 50?
