If I was going to have another crack at 2017, I would put a mediation app on my phone a lot sooner. Because sometimes you do need a bit of a comfort zone rest stop too :-) Lisa Southardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711376747848601409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32407491425448969.post-23912603859929593652017-12-08T12:09:38.215-08:002017-12-08T12:09:38.215-08:00Thanks everyone!

I need to let them go. To take my chances. It's always a no, if I never send something out. My children say I overthink everything. Yes I do. I just don't know how to stop it. Any suggestions?<br /><br />Good luck in 2018. Try for anything.

Trying to get back to where I was before.

But I am happy to report that I took chances, even with the depression that slowed me down the first half of the year.Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32407491425448969.post-19894132944485662792017-12-06T11:00:31.919-08:002017-12-06T11:00:31.919-08:00It's so easy to let fear hold us back.
