I have a confession to make. A couple of months ago I totally f*ed up! (or at least I thought so)  when I sent out some mailers with my name in the greeting section instead of yours. Maybe you caught it, maybe you didn't, but I sure did, AFTER I sent it out! Then the self talk began; "how could you be so careless, you're so unprofessional, people will think you're wacko writing to yourself!" and on and on. Then I realized the Universe was trying to show me something. I noticed how easily I allowed myself to lose confidence.   

 Immediately, I recognized the familiar pattern I sometimes tend to hide in; the comfortable space of  self doubt.  When I was in the fourth grade I always got picked last to be on athletic teams in gym. It was so embarrassing, but I realize now that I hid and shrank on purpose. I didn't want to get picked, because that would mean being seen!  

Can you recall situations in your life where you have made yourself small?  

What was the fear that kept you from stepping into the spotlight? 

What would open up in your life if you allowed yourself to be seen each and every time?

These days, I've learned to see the positive lessons to take away from most unpleasant situations. Looking back at that chubby little fourth grader who receded into the background I know she learned to be a really good observer of her environment. I watched everything around me and today that is a great skill to have when working with people.

I also know that in order to work with people I must allow myself to be seen, meaning: I must have the courage to own my confidence.
