Just "I might embarrass a large group of influential people and damage an opportunity for two disparate groups in my community to get together." Nowhere near as world-shaking ;-).Hadass Eviatarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619240774309947361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795269967620406838.post-40057905833525017872011-12-17T17:53:25.104-06:002011-12-17T17:53:25.104-06:00I totally hear you Hadass, and great picture by th...I totally hear you Hadass, and great picture by the way! I think sometimes our "adulthood" becomes shaky when we are afraid. For a moment, we do want to hide in the bathtub. But your logical self is right, it's not "rocket science," you have help, and one step at a time:-). I totally know that fear, though. .Lynne Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02022528754777235936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795269967620406838.post-56385972568595121072011-12-14T14:32:06.638-06:002011-12-14T14:32:06.638-06:00Um, if I could type properly maybe I'd have le...Um, if I could type properly maybe I'd have less trouble ...

There are competent professionals taking care of things like booking the venue and deciding on the refreshments ;-). It's just the *though* of any responsibility of the matter (and the whole thing was my idea!). Silly me. I'll get over it.<br /><br />I'll talk more about it closer to the time.Hadass Eviatarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619240774309947361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795269967620406838.post-33515639344339669292011-12-14T10:03:56.804-06:002011-12-14T10:03:56.804-06:00I can relate to this "paralyzed by opportunit...I can relate to this "paralyzed by opportunity" feeling, and the only "words of wisdom" I have to offer, beyond that post, are to throw a mental cloth over the lizard cage or put blinders on it. I think this paralysis is often the result of thinking too far ahead and being hyper-aware of all the things that could go wrong. I really think some people do well in this area because they are just blissfully unaware and unable to think that far ahead. ;)<br /><br />But unless "people could die" is on that list of things that could go wrong, you just eat the elephant one bite at a time.Holly Jahangirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034708581256314628noreply@blogger.com
