This morning I awoke with a pit in my stomach. My new website and upcoming novel expose my shadow side to the world. The small me worries if people will judge me, my story, my writing, and my promotion of Ducks Run, Horses Fly. This me is the one who kept saying it couldn’t be done while I did it, I actually finished a whole f-ing book! And this is where yoga and the 12 steps are of benefit. Call it great universal spirit, good orderly direction, or grace over drama, GOD plays a part and, for that, I am grateful. Daily yoga and walks with the sun at my back warm the faith in my heart. Today was no exception. When fear rises, I’m glad to report my faith usually wins as I remember the slogan – progress not perfection. Aum.
