just do it

Ok, so I was thinking....

Scary, yeah, I know! haha!! I've been thinking about all the fun stuff I've got to do in my life!

& I have to say, I've narrowed it down to my parents. I was always a shy girl, but my parents pushed me to step out & be adventurous. Not in a "I'm-going-to-throw-you-in-a-pool-so-you-better-start-swimming" kind of way (THANK GOD!), but in a "you-can-do-this-&-you'll-be-glad-you-did" way. & I trusted them...go figure, they were right! 

Today I'm sitting here a very happy, satisfied person. (Ok, so truly a lot of that has to do with God, but I also know it has a lot to do with the fun & crazy things I've gotten to do by not being embarrassed - or at least, not letting that stop me!)

I'm telling you, there's a lot out there to experience & I love when those opportunities present themselves. Sometimes you just have to take a breath & do it, even if it's with a red face. I.E. the below link will take you to a video I did. Yeah I'm totally embarrassed, but hey, I'm glad I did it & it was a lot of fun...& now I get to laugh at myself every time I watch it...what's not to love?!

It's the "Find Out Why You Can Believe In US" video (on slide #1):

I never thought I'd be in a video that would be seen all over America & even in Canada! ;)

So what the heck is my point? Don't let being embarrassed hold you back! Do something silly & exciting & something that will stretch you past your comfort zone & love yourself for doing it! (of course I'm not talking about anything that would harm you or anyone else in any way, shape or form! sheesh!!)

Here's to living life & finding/making happinesses along the way!!
