Re: Taking the plunge
Hey @Maggie. Thanks for the coffee 💙 And really big thanks for your eyes and words last night.
It's so hard to get up and out when every thought and feeling says no. Is there something in particular behind that for you today ir is it an everything/nothing thing?
I think that 'take the first step then everything else is a bonus' is really a helpful one. Maybe its one that can help you out the door this morning too.

Re: Taking the plunge
It's nearly 6:30 now @Maggie . I'm thinking of you hoping you made it out of the door.
I found this one recently. It kind of reminded me of what it feels like to come here after 'taking a/the plunge' 💚
I have a meeting at school this morning and will put my hand up to do the big gig again. It might come to a vote again like it did last year. It feels scary to think of putting myself out there like that with the potential that it will be shut down. Lots of "who do I think I am?" happening. You get that I feel.
You're putting yourself out there with these meetings. You inspire me to do more of that. Coffee will be hot (yay for never going yuck forum coffees) and waiting when you get back ❤
@eth and @outlander my not caffeinated enough head forgot to send some ❤ back this morning. Hope the morning starts OK or better for you both.

Re: Taking the plunge
I love that pic @CheerBear . After soooo much internal everything, I made it. Straight into a beautiful sunrise. That was a really good start.
I was asked to “ put myself out there” this morning also @CheerBear . I’ve been asked to sing in church. It’s big and scary. I have done it lots before, and it’s always been scary. I really, REALLY want to do this. So we might be gig ing it together @CheerBear .
I’m enjoying and needing that coffee right now.
Sending all the big feels for your meeting this morning. 💜💜💜💜 and a coffee under the table after. ☕️☕️☕️

Re: Taking the plunge
Good morning again everyone 🙂
Huge big yay you @Maggie firstly for getting out of the door and then for being asked to sing and considering it! Mega 🎉 I know this new adventure you're on has been and is challenging in lots of ways, yet you're giving it a go anyway 😊 It's a big deal to do things when everything is saying not to.
How are you feeling about it at the moment?
I got the school gig again this year which I am stoked about. I worked hard last year on building rapport and connections with the community and took the responsibility seriously. I felt the difference it has made today. My focus again will be on community engagement and connection this year and we have lots of ideas and more enthusiasm than I've felt for a while. Exciting 🙂 (plus I will speak at graduation again and it's a special one for us this year 👩🎓). The Littles seem to enjoy having me along too and both are on the student body so we all work together sometimes which is fun.
Hope the morning has been kind to you @outlander and @eth (and anyone reading).
It is a stunning day here. Still and warm. I'm going to chase up the referral for the ortho for Middle, then head to the shops to do what I said I wouldn't and to get some long life stuff (without going over the top). After the announcement that it is inevitable schools will shut I don't want to be stuck. I am not loving myself for getting caught up in it but I also want to be a little prepared just in case :face_with_rolling_eyes: Another tricky balance one.
Hope there's good in the day for everyone ❤

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear I’m feeling the big yea for you. The gig sounds amazing. Go you. And speaking at graduation. 👍👍👍 I know there will be those “ Who do you think you are “ moments. That only makes the doing so much better.
I came home much lighter than I went @CheerBear . So pleased I pushed ( literally ) through all the doubts and fears. I will start some practice, then......do it.
I couldnt help myself with this pic @CheerBear we all need one of these.
