Why she’s my inspiration.....

We all fear something flying, spiders, the dark, heights, etc. the list goes on and on. My fear public speaking if you ever want to see me run for the hills in six inch heels tell me I have to get on stage and speak to crowd of people. My face turns red my palms get sweaty my knees shake so what can I tell my 13 year old daughter when she’s nervous right before the talent show yesterday.

Just breathe.

As I watched her singing on that stage in front of all her classmates, teachers and parents I couldn’t help but think I’m so glad she didn’t inherit my fear of public speaking. She did what I never could. Although she didn’t place this year she tried and her courage to get up there in the first place is what she will take with her. I hope she remembers that courage in all the hard decisions we have to make everyday.

So if I’m ever asked to speak on stage in front of a crowd of people I’ll remember who inspired me to take that first step.

Live. Laugh. Love.
