{My first official professionally done website header — added when I switched from Blogspot to Typepad.}
Speaking at my first blogging conference — I was a scared, insecure mess inside and I can see it written all over my face in this picture.
My second blogging conference — I was still nervous and scared, but I felt more myself and more whole and I can see it in my face here.
My first radio interview — again, this was a completely unnerving experience for shy me. I felt like just going back to my hotel room and crying when it was over because I was sure I had totally bombed it.
My first book: basically an exercise in how to do everything wrong! I learned so much, and wished I could have done it all over again because there would be so much I would change!
My 4th(?) blogging conference: This time, I went with the sole desire to pour into others and look for other people to bless. Guess what? I completely forgot about my usual insecurities and ended up having a blast!
