“Lean into the
discomfort” is the professional version of this, but sometimes I need regular
people “speak” to really understand the meaning. Yes I understand what discomfort means, but
what I have leaned into is so much bigger, meaner, nastier than
discomfort. Discomfort sounds like I
might have a blister from a new pair of shoes, a hang nail or an unexpected
(and expensive) car repair. What life has
handed me in the past few years was not discomfort; it has been out and out “scare
the shit out of me” stuff. Heart Attack,
not so successful open heart surgery (but had to give it a shot), defibrillator
implanted in my chest, and horrendous financial obligations (as a result of all of
this, even after insurace!). However…. what truly scares the crap
out of me is my creative work. What do I
do next, will it be good enough, do I have the talent to pull this off, and a
new class I have never taught before...teaching 2 classes over the summer, Holy CRAP!
