Dear Laura:

I have had some time to read realwomenwin.com today. I just wanted to let you know I have been thinking a lot about your writing. I think the aspect of change and the fear that ensues, the knowledge that we need to do something differently but our inability to take action, is all very powerful stuff. I see after reading the second paragraph of "risk-taking," just how scary it can be to make big changes to our seemingly comfortable lives.

Sometimes, though, what is comfortable is not what is best for us. While I see that now, it isn't until I have come out on the other side of making changes that I can know this is true. I think this has a lot to do with what you call the "fear of the unknown ". Until we know something, we think we know it and cause ourselves to stress about how bad it is going to be, or worry about how we won't be good enough at it, or the millions of other excuses we give ourselves to remain imprisoned by our current situations.

We cannot think our way into action. We must DO in order to see the difference.

Thank you for giving me the push to “DO”.

Fondly,

“Tammy"
