You have said this so well: <blockquote>I realized that taking care to nurture the physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual sides of “me” would not only be a benefit to me but to all the people in my life. So I started taking steps to be more than whatever I have been.</blockquote> As for letting go of any fears, I am not going to discount that it's hard, for it is, however the mere fact that you are willing to share this with all of us tells me that you are up to the challenge and much bigger than any fear you might have :-) And that concert is a coincidence! We were meant to share this. Good for you Marisa! You have said this so well:

I admit. For too long I have been victim, and apparently a willing one. Always trying to be what others wanted, needed me to be. So I just buried all that I was and became only one "color." But this year I realized that taking care to nurture the physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual sides of "me" would not only be a benefit to me but to all the people in my life. So I started taking steps to be more than whatever I have been. Hardest part? Letting go of the fear that it is too difficult or too late. I returned from a lovely walk in the autumnal air in DC and read this post. Mahalo for it. Is it time for my Alaka‘i abundance? Yes! Though I'm still a little scared. And in a what-a-coincidence moment: The U2 will be playing a concert tonight in my area! Yes. I admit. For too long I have been victim, and apparently a willing one. Always trying to be what others wanted, needed me to be. So I just buried all that I was and became only one “color.”
