I was scared out of my mind the first time I walked into that room. My thoughts were riddled; my body was rigid and tense.
I often wonder why people say the things they say. I wonder if we truly understand the power of something so common and so small as the words we use and the impact they leave.
Every day in December, I decided to step outside my comfort zone and try something different. I took 31 opportunities to stretch into the unfamiliar in both big and small ways and write about it on SM. It seemed simple and fun.
I call it a point of impact. It’s a moment that creates an impression, often a negative one, that shapes your beliefs, the way you feel about yourself, and the ways you function in the world.
One year… it’s hard to take in really. I remember the moment life came to standstill. It imprinted my spirit.
