Ok, today I get to stop and smell the roses (yes, I know these are not roses, but I like the picture.)
Last night I hosted a cocktail party for a bunch of people I knew, did not know, or wanted to know. I had no idea who, if anyone would show up, and no idea how all these stranger would interact.

Success.  Everyone had a great time.  Enough people came to make it fun and let people interact individually with several people.  Guests shared their ideas of their art and got to know one another.

I had decided to do this months ago, and I actually did it.  Too many times I excuse myself from accomplishing my goals.  But here, I just jumped in and let go of results, and it was great.

So, take that leap, forget those excuses, quit worrying, and try something new.  Get out these odd crayons you bought but never used, try that new idea for a menu for dinner, take a class in something that intimidates you.  It will undoubtedly work out great.  It does not matter what happens, just because you did it, you will be a winner.

I just hope I remember my own advice.  I love this feeling of success and freedom, and want to feel it again and again.
