Ever just have one of those weekends where you just want to lay around in your jammies all weekend long. That was this past weekend for me. Michael was working, and I did have a few last minute gifts to get, but I just didn't feel like braving the last minute holiday rush, so, me, Evan and Lucas jammied it all weekend long (don't worry, they had baths and new undies, I'm not that gross, LOL).So I'm working on my new website, little by little. I really didn't think it would take me this long to complete it. But as I was working on it over the weekend, I just had all these doubts pop in my head. What if this doesn't happen? What if I fail? What if, what if, what if? YUCK. I hate those thoughts, I hate doubting myself, I just hate it. I gotta keep telling myself to think postively. It's hard though, really hard.
So I'm loving this sorta kinda new artist Ingrid Michaelson. She's a rocking singer who knows how to rock the piano. I love her stuff. Here's her myspace page, and be sure to check out her "Untitled Christmas Song" on her page, LOVE that song..and good thing she's coming to Philly in February, I will definately have to check her out. XOXO Falyn

You know that old saying, "it is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried," ? It's so true. So whether or not you succeed or fail (and I'm sure you'll succeed considering your talent!) you don't want to be an 80-year-old woman sitting there in her rocker thinking, "I wish I had pursued that..." I wish I was closer to you so I could have you photograph Naomi - photography is a weak point for me in the grand artistic scheme - if you're ever my way, bring your camera!
I love a day in jammies!! That's so a perfect day!!
Your youth, your talent, your inspiration, your desire will all help you get through the baby steps. But you need to take the baby steps - and with your arms wide open. Go for it! And be blessed that you have your DH support, and the support of your family, friends, and your mother!
...if only I knew then what I know now.... (sigh). xoxox mom
ugggh self doubt the WORST! but I know totally what you are feeling. I TOTALLY agree with Kristen - the whole just do it {of course after much thought and planning -LOL} have to take educated risks. I am learning that as we {my husband and I} are in the planning stages of a business venture - SCARY CRAP it is! But have to remember the RISK REWARD. keep those ratios in your mind. And girlie you have TALENT so forget about it
