Well, I've just gotten back from my television debut! In the next few days, I'll post a link to my briefest-of-the-brief appearance on the April 28th edition of Good Morning Texas here as soon as it's available. I am partnered with momsoutloud.com (I love to write inspirational articles for my moms!)  who asked me to talk about the great Mom's Night Out event happening on May 7. Register for the free event with North Texas Kids Magazine, and you get a free movie (Matthew McConaughey!) as well as some great mom fellowship. Popcorn! Swag! And best of all, all your gently used baby clothes, supplies and items...as well as any baby food you'd like to donate...goes to support Alley's House, a support agency for teen mothers. So...get your ME time and help other, less fortunate moms next Thursday! Head out to the Addison Movie Studio Grill for some fun that also reflects your values.

But the real message for today is about fear. So many of you struggle with fear; indeed, most of us aren't really aware of how much we operate from a center of fear. Everyone asked me, "Are you nervous about being on TV?" The answer was really no. Despite the fact I am a natural ham, I have learned that fear and anxiety are really about what we tell ourselves. In the time leading up to my time at ABC, I was careful not to worry about anything I couldn't immediately do something about. To stay in the moment is to conquer fear...and I have to say I felt pretty good getting my close up. I took care of details as it was time to do so, and I was prepared. I let God handle the weather and the traffic...and now it's behind me.

Eradicate your fear, dearest reader. Most of it is about what has already happened or what might happen in the future. Choose to be hear now and improve everything about how your perform. You feel pretty darn good on the other side.

Until next time, I am wishing you all peace.
