Have you ever taken a look around and thought, "Ut oh, all of my talk is about to happen!"

I've been working on my org for the past few years. This week some interesting stuff has occurred. I'm going to partner with some graduate students from Indiana University. They will do the needs assessment for us. They will also assist with continued organizational development including a comprehensive strategic plan.
I've had calls for presentations, volunteering and board membership....along with a couple of donations.

We are submitting the tax exemption application next month (if there's any nonprofit attorneys on the org...send me a note )

I'm like...uh...ok. :box:

Have you ever seen your dreams about to happen but sorta wanna run the opposite way?

Yes.

The tax exempt thing is a breeze by the way.

your org??

do we get to have animated avatars??

thats great Rhonda!

Yes. Its happening to me now. I want to start a community service that is run like a daycare/after school that teaches arts and crafts to kids but helps parents and homeless/low income people. I have the art experience but I needed the business experience. I just got a job with a business like this. They were so excited about my ideas and want me to have my own little art class eventually. I got kind of scared. I Started thinking that maybe I can't do it, but here I am it feels like things are just now falling into place and I don't know what to do

You have NO idea how truthful and insightful your comments are! To quote Thoreau, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation".

First off, I am very very PROUD of you. I know you aint doin your thang for a pat on the back, but I want to so I will! I am working my way to where you are heading and I know that I'm going to go when the time comes but like you I know I will be able to step up to that scary plate

Ok..I'm not alone...good to know.


Supa, Sir and Heybaby....God Bless.

Where the spiders a metaphor or not, woman!??!!!???!

Dive in, girlie - you can do it It's scary, but not fulfilling your dreams & finding yourself far away from the possibility of it is so much fucking scarier. Trust me, I know. GO FOR IT

Being scared is natural. It's only when it prevents you from succeeding that it's a problem. Be confident and go get it!
