  1. When nice, talented people have well-deserved positive results, it makes me smile. I’m smiling!

  3. That sounds so much like me! I’m in a job where a large part of it involves talking to people I’ve never met before, on a daily basis. Like you and your public speaking, I’ve grown to love it but Oh My Goodness, my insides are like jelly a lot of the time.

    As I’m also a big sci-fi/ fantasy geek, I’m really looking forward to reading your venture into that genre. I’m sure it will turn out fine and I wish you nothing but good luck with it.

  4. Go for it!!!! 😀

    Sci-Fi isn’t my cup o’ tea; the closest I get to sci fi/fantasy is Harry Potter, LOL! 😉 But if it’s what you love to do, do it!! 😀

    Warm wishes for courage in the face of fear,
    Susanne 🙂

  5. My mother used to say that the only way to cross the ocean was to get into the sea so just jump! I’m all for doing things that one loves doing even if the people around does not get it.

    Good luck and, even though I’m not really Sci-Fi is not my forte, I’ll be willing to read about anything well written, and you write wonderfully.

    Go get it!!!

  6. Great post, Maria.

    I’ve been afraid most of my life. I think I’ll now move into the “Do It Pissed Off” stage.

    Seriously, whatever emotion it takes to get us moving is the one we need to grab.

  7. Dear Maria,

    THANK YOU so very much for sharing this – “DO IT AFRAID” – I really relate and NEEDED to hear this!!!

    Big Hug,
    tJean aka mamatree

  8. Thank you for such a raw and honest post. I’m relating so closely right now, and God’s timing with Encouragement always amazes me. You’d think I’d be used to it by now, but maybe I’m a slow learner! 🙂

    Blessings, friend, and thank you for sharing your heart.

  9. Such an inspriting blog post, Maria! I’m sorry to hear you have to deal with such fears on a regular basis, but is it terrible to say I’m relieved that I’m not alone? I’m forever reminding my kids that this is what true courage is made of: admitting you’re afraid, but doing what’s best, anyway. It isn’t easy, but it is worth it! Thanks for reminding us of how well facing your fears can pay off!

  10. An amazing post, Maria, both touching and inspirational. And we’ll definitely be with you (well, some of us) in your venturing into Science fiction (though agreeing with an earlier comment, Harry Potter has been more of my thing).
    But one thing that made me blink in astonishment – is your real name not Maria Grace? Mind-blowing!

  11. I’m quite excited to hear about material in the SFF genre coming from you! To me, it holds some parallels to historical fiction….another place, another time, with different rules than we currently know and practice. I’m really looking forward to reading this new story!
