Today I Overcame Fear...

I have this strange fear of posting on forums and just the internet in general.  I'm sure it goes back to my fear of being judged by people who don't know me. Rational,... probably not!

In short I joined a great group of  lampworkers called Fire Divas who  support each other in their day to day journey selling Lampwork beads and jewelry on the internet.  To be part of this group it is expected to post, post, and then post more.  My simplistic version, but in essence what they are doing is creating exposure and visibility on the internet for everyone on the team.  So not only will I be posting pictures of my stuff, but I'll also post pictures of their beautiful beads and jewelry!  And of course musings into my everyday life....I invite you take this journey with me!
