Out of my Comfort Zone!

Today is a day of lots of different emotions! This quote tells it all for me!

I just decided to quit one of my jobs ( that I love ) and give myself more time to work on my new and upcoming business! I am going ...with the help of these amazing people ( my family ) to start an Online Video Class for Sewing/ Quilting classes! Our business name is LynnMade and we will have a website, blog and Facebook page up and running soon. 

I really shouldn't be that scared, but it is something definitely Out of My Comfort Zone! As I read this quote from Helen Keller it made me think. She had such challenges in her life, and had to do many things out of her Comfort Zone ( Hard things ) and yet...look at her amazing challenges and successes in her life. My challenges are so small compared to her and so... I am just going to say that I am going on a Grand Adventure!

I need to remember I will still be doing what I love...TEACHING! I pray that I will continue to have a connection with the amazing ladies that I have met along the way, and personally look forward to meeting more and more new friends!

So I am just going to keep smiling, and remember how very blessed I am... to be where I am in my life at this time.
Seven years ago this very time of the year, I was terrified, because I had just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer for the 2nd time. I was dreading what the future was going to bring, and wondering how long that future was even going to last.
 Now 7 years later, I have 4 more beautiful grandchildren, a new son in law and many, many new and dear friends. I have so much to be grateful for...and to look forward to! I am truly, truly blessed and so that makes my heart feel good! Thank you for all of you, that have been there all along this journey for me, and for your continue support and excitement for me... you are True Friends!
Thank you,Thank you!!!

Whew, that is over...

Ok, I was anxious for awhile about today. Because today was the first time that we video taped my classes. This wasn't for anyone to see but us. We just needed to see how the cameras would work and how the sound was. I was worried how I would do. Jeff and Amy both came and did the video taping and they said I did ok...but when I looked at it for just a few seconds, I had to turn it off! To be honest ...it was tough to watch. I hopefully will get better at this!

I am a work in progress and I need to remember that I have to take this one step at a time, this is a huge step out of my comfort zone. 

But we did it, so this day is over and I survived!

Hope this gets easier as it goes on!

I just need to remember that I can do this, I am so excited to have my family behind me, or I should say beside me all the way!

Good Night dear friends!

Comfort Zones

I had a discussion the other day with someone who said how bad they hate confrontation. I thought to myself "Who does?" It just seems to be part of life and many times we have to go out of our comfort zone to really experience the DEEP and PROFOUND things in life. As hard as it is, I have found that to usually be true.
I thought how the Savior taught us. On many MANY occasions He was confronted by people who usually really just wanted to start trouble. When I struggle with a certain situation in life, I need to remember this more often. I need to follow His example.
I need to remember that "Real comfort, the kind of which peace and hope are made comes from the Savior" is what really makes all the difference in even those difficult situations. I know that...now I just need to remember that when life seems to much to bear!

Good night dear friends!
