Doing the dang thing

This #thankyouthursday, I am grateful for doing the dang thing.

In recent weeks, you may have noticed me alluding to creative developments and, specifically, mentioning November 26 as a significant date.

And although today isn’t the day I tell you what that’s all about, it IS the day I tell you that I am doing the dang thing, and I am grateful.

This thing I am doing is a thing I have wanted to do for years now. (Hint: it will be a thing you can read.)

And for years I have had very specific ideas about exactly how this thing needs to be done, and while I have made steady progress toward realizing my ideal vision, it has become increasingly clear that if I hold out for the perfect version I have been imagining, it’s likely to take several more years.

And that’s okay. That version is still in progress, and it will be worth the wait. Probably. But in the meantime, I am doing the dang thing a different way, anyway.

Doing the dang thing is exciting. It’s a fresh challenge, and a little scary, and a lot new. It’s making me reckon with ego and insecurity and also evoking optimism and satisfaction.

This thing I am doing (launching November 26!)? It might not be perfect, but it’s definitely going to be great, and more importantly, it’s going to be something instead of nothing. Which, when it comes to sharing what we have to give, something is almost always better than nothing.

And also? Something can always become something better.

Love > fear,

p.s. Is there something you’ve been wanting to do, but maybe you’ve been holding back because the perfect circumstances haven’t occurred, or it’s not currently possible to do it exactly like you dreamed? Perhaps you can do the dang thing anyway.
