Consider my fears faced!

They say the best way to get over your fears is to face them head on...consider that...check!

Today I, Ashlee B, got on the back of my boyfriends motorcycle for the first time.  We went less then a mile...30minutes ago, and I'm still shaking.  BUT on the bright side of things, it didn't rain, and I didn't burn my leg on the exhaust...he says it gets better.  I think I would have been more comfortable on the interstate ironically.  Starting and stopping scared me the most...I was afraid at one point of throwing up in my helmet, but I didn't!  I am strong!

Today I, Ashlee B, am continuing to face unemployment.  (aside from being self-employed).  I used to just loathe unemployment, but lately it has become a pretty big fear of mine.  I find that for most flexible positions (part time or full time) I am either over/under qualified.  Seems like for the positions I am deemed worthy of filing, I need 5 years experience in the field.  And well, I don't have 5 years experience that you require, but I do learn quickly.  Lets be honest, how hard is it to learn most any job that requires any diploma?  Someone please take a chance on me!

Today I, Ashlee B, have taken a deep breath and faced disappointment.  It is not often that I feel disappointed in myself, but today I have accepted it.  Which means it can only go up from here, right?  Despite my ambition, my total and complete knowledge on the subject, creative newsletters, social media updates, and countless clients...my practice is struggling.

BUT, I am STRONG! And I will SURVIVE!
