December 2 Writing.
What do you do each day that doesn’t contribute to your writing — and can you eliminate it?
(Author: Leo Babauta)

I doubt myself.

I am working on eliminating it. But, first, I am working on acknowledging it.

I doubt my worth, that what I have to say matters, that I can say it in the right way ...

I hide from that doubt because it makes me feel more incompetent and embarrassed.

I am blessed with an abundance of gifts and talents, and I want to embrace them rather than squander them.

It is a struggle everyday, particularly now that I am in graduate school.

The new mantra: I love writing, it allows me to express my gifts and talents.

Ah... baby steps, say it, first, eventually, believe it.

Blessed be.
