Synchronous meetings are the best :-) Thank you for popping on over and checking out my blog and commenting. I've got a huge value around being "real" so I figure I need/want to show up that way in my blog too! Hey Crystal,

You know, it's funny - I was at a cabin with my son and we were standing at the end of the dock as the sun was going down and in the water there were a million little minnows. I told him, "Honey, look down in the water, you can see minnows everywhere!" - so he looked and he looked and he was so excited to see them but no matter how *hard* he tried to look into the water to see the minnows he so desperately wanted to see, he couldn't see them. And I realized, what he wanted most was right in front of his eyes and because he didn't know what to look for yet or how to see fish yet, he couldn't see it. It made me wonder how often this happens to me - how many times have I wanted something so badly I could taste it and whatever it is has been right in front of me all along but for some reason I can't see it. It's like when others can see something so clearly about you but it you can't see it...know what I mean. I'm going to take him to the end of the dock again tomorrow night and we're going to look for the minnows. I'm going to let him be curious and try to find them his own way, maybe he needs to move around, maybe he needs to squint, maybe he just needs to see one little flutter of movement and he'll know exactly where they are and he'll see them. God, this is more like a blog post than a comment...I guess what I challenge all of us to do is to look at something in our life a little bit differently. Stand back, look at it a different way - does anything change? xoxo Jen Sedia, I’m rooting for all of us too!

Thank you. I think it's such a great reminder for all of us that when we're <strong>in</strong> our stuff it can be so hard to see/feel progress. I keep reminding myself that my job is to keep putting one foot in front of the other - whether it's a baby step or a huge leap doesn't really matter as long as I keep moving forward. Thank you for being one of the amazing people in my life (friend and coach)!!! xoxo Jen Tia, I’m sending you a huge virtual hug!! Thank you.

It's part of the creative process - this journey of fear, commitment, exhileration. Just remember you don't have to do it all in a day, baby steps are fine till you get to a tipping point from where big leaps abound & it almost feels overnight-ish. Seems to me you're at that place! I've seen the pitches you've been hitting, the fast growth & launch, and now I'm seeing it pick up speed like a rocket on a mission. Jen, you do realise that your pace is pretty darn good & you've done a LOT even if you think you haven't, right? If this this is playing small, I can't WAIT to see you really hit it out of the park! I'm witnessing your commitment and revelling in it, you amazingly awesomely inspiringly cool woman :) WoooHOO JEN!!
