The end of 100 Things I Fear!

February 24, 2010

100. {12/30/09} Oh my heaven…today’s the last day of the 100 Things I Fear challenge!  And to celebrate I left my family at home, drove up to Sacramento, and got together for drinks with Ronna.  I met Ronna on-line and it’s a bit scary to make that transition from on-line friends to in-person friends.  My [...]

100 Things I Fear: family reunion

February 23, 2010

99. {12/29/09}  Today I reconnected with an extended family member that I haven’t seen for about 7-8 years.  I was nervous, but it was fun.  All I had to do was be myself and that’s easy :~)

100 Things I Fear: ridiculous expectations

February 22, 2010

98. {12/28/09} Today I gave myself permission to focus on work even though The Fam was off of work and school.  I went to a 3 hour writing session, held my monthly coaching call, and posted to my blog.  It was wonderful.  Oh yeah, and I asked The Hubs to help out with The Girl [...]

100 Things I Fear: raw honesty

February 21, 2010

97. {12/27/09} Today I wrote a totally and completely honest email invitation to my subscribers.  It’s not that I have written non-honest emails in the past.  But, this email was written from a more vulnerable place.  I simply shared the truth about where I was at without trying to pretty it up.  And I got [...]

100 Things I Fear: being a horrible mom!

February 20, 2010

96. {12/26/09} Today I told my daughter that I didn’t want to go shopping with her because it was the truth.  I really didn’t feel like shopping.  But, I felt so bad because it was our first day back together after a week holiday and fear said that “a good mother would spend every waking [...]

100 Things I Fear: no makeup

February 19, 2010

94. {12/24/09} Merry Christmas Eve!  I didn’t shower today!  I put on my jogging clothes and then ran all over town with no makeup and my hair in a ponytail.  I went shopping, shopping, and more shopping.  I bought all the last minute gifts and food stuff I need for tomorrow’s family gatherings.  I must [...]

100 Things I Fear: connecting with family

February 19, 2010

95. {12/25/09} Merry Christmas! Today I went to my in-laws without The Hubs who is at home sick.  This is amazing movement for us as the in-laws and I haven’t always gotten along.  But, we’ve done a lot of work over the last couple years and now it’s paying off.  We spend time together because [...]

100 Things I Fear: living my own way

February 18, 2010

93. {12/23/09} Today The Hubs and I traveled back from Florida with my father-in-law, his wife, and my brother-in-law.  We arrived at the airport in two separate vehicles and instead of waiting for the rest of the party I went ahead and checked in and went through security.  Even though fear was saying that I [...]

100 Things I Fear: let’s have a drink

February 17, 2010

92. {12/22/09} I ordered a glass of wine with lunch & dinner!  I was dining with some Christian folk and I was totally afraid of offending them by drinking a glass of wine.  But, when it came down to it I decided that it was okay to drink what I wanted to drink.  And I [...]

100 Things I Fear: sharing my frustration

February 16, 2010

91. {12/21/09} I shared my frustration about a situation without attacking anyone.  I was afraid of sharing how I felt, but I simply couldn’t sit back and not say anything.  It actually turned out to be very helpful as everyone learned more about each other in the process.
