i'm scared spitless

and yes, i know what you read.  that's what i meant.  (and to be honest, i kinda hear it in samuel l jackson's voice, but that may be just me)

in two weeks the Omaha Witch Walk has their first annual walk.  the first.  which means it's never been done before.  and i'm doing it.  putting it on from start to finish.  i've never done this before.  i've never started from the ground up putting on a charity walk.  let alone a themed walk for a specific charity and purpose.

what i'm doing is important.  and the reasons that i'm doing them is even more so.  but i'm scared that i can't pull it off.  i'm scared that it's going to tank something awful.  and that we'll never get past the first year.  and this is something that i want to do every year.  something that i'm making a company with my friend Jen to ensure that it's done every year.  something that i want to be HUGE.  this is just the first step.  and first steps are scary.

scary.  like wakes me up from a dead sleep after a dream that no one showed up.  like my phone ate an email, and we're a week behind where i wanted to be.  (but the OI foundation was totally on the ball and put together in HOURS what i thought would take days)  but first steps are also beginnings.  where you start.  and how you get somewhere great.

you just have to.......  step

  1. There always has to be a first time....Once you have that under your belt the next one will be a piece of cake.

  2. It will be great! I would totally be there if Ga wasn't so far from Omaha. Just remember that every annual event has to have a 1st Annual to get them started.

  3. You can do it, you have always feared that first leap, but were also the first to leap.

  5. Every single thing we do that matters to us is terrifying. That's how we know it matters. That's why we have to do those things anyway.

  6. It will be great, because you're putting it together and you're one seriously awesome witchy woman. Like Slacker Mom, I'd be all over it if SC weren't so far away.
