Mission Accomplished

Confession: I'm not afraid of as much as I thought I was.

I've always felt afraid. I couldn't really put my finger on what I was afraid of, but I knew I was afraid.
It's funny, when Megan said that you don't even realize it but every day you are faced with confronting your fears- some that you didn't even know that you had- she was so right. Every day facing your fears isn't necessarily about staring down a tarantula or climbing to the top of the Empire State Building. Facing your fears could be as simple (or as complicated) as putting yourself out there, oh say, maybe writing a blog?
I've been trying to think of what I have done in the past few weeks to make myself worthy of Operation Eleanor. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what my biggest fears are. And I realized that this right here, is right up there. I'm talking real close to the top. Putting myself out there each and every day. The fact that I opened myself up, let my guard down, and put my life out there for anyone and everyone to see, is mind boggling. The fact that I've been doing it for 5 years, astounding.

For me, today, facing one of my fears meant nothing more than posting a blog post.
