It's so easy to assume we're not "good enough" to, or shouldn't, or don't have anything to offer -- but if we go ahead, it can be affirming and energizing and inspiring and worthwhile!

(Of course, sometimes, the right answer is still "no" -- like that wfh project offer to write 15,000 words on an unfamiliar topic for, oh, $300 or so ...) Thanks for your comment!

This year my "yes" was to opening my blog to guest posts. I'm glad I did because so many creative people have shared their love of writing, nature, and science - and I've learned a lot from them.Sue Heavenrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00550259613381458435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-15679147680054014972022-08-18T11:22:25.790-04:002022-08-18T11:22:25.790-04:00Love this!!Love this!!Lisa Rogersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-65591325471585781452022-08-17T12:23:31.880-04:002022-08-17T12:23:31.880-04:00Thanks so much, Kathy!

I experimented a few years ago with making "yes" my go-to for new writing experiences. It was a great year! What I learned was, once you say "yes," you learn how to do it!
