I was talking to a young woman the other day. She is in her first job out of college and has all the excitement and uncertainty that that phase of life brings. She mentioned having imposter syndrome, assuming I could not relate. Ha! I couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Guess what. It never goes away.”

How many years have I come this close to starting a blog and then talking myself out of it? Who do I think I am? What have I got to say that’s different? And the biggest one: What will people think?

I’ve been doing a lot of reading and listening and examining and thinking. And I’ve come to the conclusion that not starting is now more painful than going for it.

So this is me. Going for it.
