It's so amazing how much support I've found through my "virtual relationships" - they mean so much to me & it's peeps like you who keep me going! I'm planning a big graduation party next month, so I'm planning to celebrate big time. I'm feeling the fear & doing it anyway (or at least drinking through it)! :) Laura, you are the awesomest!

WOOHOO WOOHOO WOOHOOOOOOOOO! Congratulations congratulations congratulations, Michelle! *Happy dance is happening here for you* I know you are a phenomenal coach, one with wings that you're stretching and using all by yourself now for the first time ever! And, at the same time, although you're now flying solo and out of the "training nest," (which of course is scary, but you were, after all, meant to fly like this) could there possibly be a more supportive community to be a part of? Methinks not! And given your bright spirit, I KNOW you've made tons of friends/supporters through ICA and elsewhere. Me included! Shine bright, go get'em, and rock on! Big hugs! :) WOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! WOOHOO WOOHOO WOOHOOOOOOOOO!

Ha! Seriously though, thanks for the compliment. It's always nice to get the viewpoint of a fresh pair of eyes! Looking forward to reading the link you sent. And don't worry, my Mom has her own LOVABLE quirks too (which I can't mention because she reads this blog). Jess - I like thinking that fear is a "natural" part of this process. Makes me feel a bit less weird, like "Why is this my overwhelming emotion right now?" Well, it's my overwhelming emotion because it's scary! And yes, it does lose it's power when you put it in that perspective. On to the acting (I'm good at that anyway)! Christina – The answer to your question is: extremely adorable. Ha!

Fear is totally normal when you're doing something that's very important to you. I think most people avoid doing what they love because the pressure is so high to succeed. And you didn't do that, so you've already won the battle! Here's another thing from my "things I read or watch when I get down" stash. I think this class is turning me into my mother, who taped supposedly inspiring segments of Oprah for my sister and I ALL THE TIME. <a href="http://www.fluentself.com/blog/stuckification/avoidance-oh-and-getting-out-of-it/" rel="nofollow">http://www.fluentself.com/blog/stuckification/avo...</a> Ok first of all, how adorable is your website?!

You can't tell, but I'm close to tears now, thinking of putting on my party dress & drinking it in. Maybe I'll have to have a big fat party & invite all my peeps & their peeps & their peeps' peeps & throw around my business cards. I was thinking of using it as an excuse to do Broadway with my man (there are so many shows I wanna see!), I need it to be....bigger. Brighter. Freakin' funner. Wanna come to NYC? ;) I think I can finally take this in, Jamie. You can't tell, but I'm close to tears now, thinking of putting on my party dress & drinking it in.

Of course! You're on the edge of the next big adventure. You are stepping into the next phase of this wonder-full journey of coach-dom. Something amazing and big and exciting and NEW is going to happen next, and it's going to ask more of you and you will give it. So yes, dear, brave you, it is scary - AND you are up to it. You are ready. But before you take another step. Before you start the next leg of the journey. Stay right where you are in the deliciousness of your learning and celebrate what you have done! Put on your party dress. Make some noise. Drink too much champagne. Slather your office with gold stars. Throw confetti. Experience the joy of reaching this point and know that I'm celebrating with you too :) Yes, it's scary! Of course! You're on the edge of the next big adventure.

I said the same exact thing (seriously, the same thing) to my client this week, too! I want to enjoy the journey - not rush through it or be scared of it - and I want to grow from it. That's part of why I picked "Focus" for my word of 2009. I think that might be the difference for me. Celina - Graduation is June 2nd! Plan to have a nice group on the phone & do some major celebrating (like finally treating myself to B'way show tickets & a great dinner). And yes, I'm looking at fear now as a blank canvas ready to be painted on, and not a roadblock to rush past. That visual keeps me calm(er). Paige - I really can't wait to get the wheels in motion! I think that's just me and my lack of patience, & part of where the anxiety comes in - I just wanna be there already! But yes, I will enjoy the ride. I will enjoy the ride.

Congratulations! This is just such exciting news. But I can see you're filled with oh so many emotions. Once you start building your business and gaining clients, you'll see, it will be great! There is so much support from family and friends, too, so don't forget that. Best of luck. I hope we can both be a great support system for each other as we continue to grow and learn! ~Paige :) Go girl! Congratulations! This is just such exciting news.

When is the graduation? I think fear has gotten a bad rap. Fear is not a "bad" thing. The fear is just there to let you know you about to do something that you aren't comfortable with. Again - Whoohoo. It is your RESPONSE to the fear that makes you or breaks you. I look forward to watching your response in the coming weeks. Whoohoo. When is the graduation?
