Taking the Leap: Ready or Not

If I waited until I was "ready" to start writing this blog, it would never ever happen.  I could easily get caught up in all of my insecurities and self-doubt. I could let the fear of being judged or not living up to some perceived standard stop me from trying, but I am going to start anyway.

I'm going to leap into this new and scary place because I need to practice what I teach; because we all learn new things by trying new things. I need to struggle and stumble and persevere.  I need to feel safe taking risks, because I ask my students to take risks every single day.  

As a friend recently told me, "Sometimes all you need to do is take the first step....even if it's the wrong step."
