BARING MY SOUL

On Tue Nov 22 I have to read my Bearings Letter in front of eight women in my Engaging Spirituality class.  It is more like baring my soul to the class.

 This would not have been at all possible with out my mentor and dear friend who encouraged me to put my thoughts on paper.  Having only written a short few words a year ago and setting up a blog with her assistance.  Now my assignment is to write about myself, introducing myself  is the first page.  The other three titles are My Struggle, My Practice and My Challenge.  Not realizing on the day that I signed the schedule that I and another lady are the first presenters.   The leaders have presented their letters and then weekly after me with be five more classmates.  Maybe it is good that I am first because I won't be judging myself with their professional writing styles. 

There is to be between 750 to 2000 words total, I do have about 1250 words written.  Fearing I will pick it to pieces I haven't had the courage to look at it for over a week. The DAY is getting closer and closer.  Not only do I have to write this stuff about myself but I have to READ it out loud and they are to listen intently and at the end of each letter they can reflect on a word or phrase I used.   OMG.....last week I had to read a letter written by Mary Jo Leddy, a missionary in Toronto and my voice was so raspy from allergies and being afraid I would miss-pronounce words that I sounded like an old man.  I like being a private person in a group and I used to just want to be invisible and not participate.  Well I guess I should give myself some credit as I have come a long way with the help of my dear friend and mentor and my healing touch provider.

The clock it ticking....when will I be brave enough to proofread that thing.
