Terrified but Determined

February 2012 seems to be the month of new beginnings for me.  New challenges, new friends and BIG LEAPS forward.  (& this new blog)
If you follow me on Twitter you will know I am a bit of a hermit during the week, I dont leave the house alone, and am scared of my shadow some days.

I was recently invited to meet with some fellow #Spoonies, and felt totally overwhelmed at the prospect of meeting several new people all in one go.  So it was decided I would, when ready, meet with 1 of them to see how I got on.
I was still totally terrified at the thought of doing this and have been putting it off.
Well, today, I had 2 little nudges... (I am a bit  "woo-woo"* - I am into crystals, Reiki & spirit guides) and after reading today's Goddess and receiving a reading which brought forth a 2nd one, it seems now is the time to take some steps.

Suggestions were that I should ease away from my isolation via my creativity and try to arrange a lunch or girly time.  So that's what I'm going to do.

If that isn't enough, I have also taken up an offer from a new friend (in the same goddess group) to receive some business advice.  I have been considering trying to be self employed, based around my photography / digital art for a few months now (what with the welfare reform bill, and my sheer desperation to be creative again) and day by day little pieces are slotting into place.
