Starting Small

When I start a new project, I often feel just like this. Very small. Never as cute.

I saw this photo, and besides being completely undone by my friend's child, I saw myself, sitting in front of my computer, feeling exactly like this -- a little confused, a lot intimidated and extremely curious.

And I'm reminded that this is what I feel like every time I start a project that is worth doing - intimidated, ignorant and curious.

How do we cross over into the world of wonder from the world of fear? We get curious. We allow ourselves to move forward, gain wisdom, and we follow the gingerbread trail to its glorious end.

Stay small. It's a gift.
