Hell-o Donna,
As you mentioned, this is not a race.
But seeing what others have done ahead of you
it's easy to say "I want that", and the process of getting
the point that we are comfortable enough to "do that" is often
times sped up.
Reguardless, you are here, you are participating, and your doing
what seems right to you, for you.
And Katey, it wasn't me that coined the term "FIC" (forum induced courage"
I first saw that used in a reply to a post about being comfortable. That reply
came from Wildaboutheels. I'm not sure if Wild came up with it, or if had been used before.
My thread was adapted from that, and was about "FIG" forum induced guilt.
Much Love,
Kristyn
