Guys, I did it. I joined a book club! This has been something I've wanted to do for a looooong time. Because, well, I LOVE BOOKS. Seriously, they're the greatest thing since sliced bread. and I was super excited for our first book, which was Ender's Game. (P.S. read it if you haven't!) I love this book and I can't wait to see the movie!But what I didn't count on was the actual meeting part of the book club. I have to go to someone's house, with OTHER people, and discuss this book. like, what? no. no no no. NO.
I don't do that! I'm not super dooper shy, but I am quite introverted. There was nooooo way that I was going to go meet with a bunch of my peers; many of them I didn't even know! this was scary stuff, guys.
however, I toughed it up and made my way over there... until I didn't know what the key code was..and then until I couldn't figure out which house it was..I almost turned around and went home close to 5times. but this little voice inside my heart kept telling me to try. and that was the most important thing! I TRIED. and I had a blast! I got to meet some amazing women and I can't wait for our next meeting! (P.S. it's The Book Thief. one of my top fives, for sure)
folks, listen. things can be EXTREMELY SCARY. kind of like riding a bike for the first time. you remember that feeling? but the wonderful thing is, before you know it, your dad isn't holding on to you anymore and you're riding all by yourself!
isn't life wonderful?
so, here's my weekly challenge for you.. (this is a new thing, I hope it sticks!) go out there and TRY something intimidating or scary. yes, you might fail, but it's an experience for you to grow from!
tell me how everything goes! I can't wait to hear about y'all trying new things (:
