I hide to avoid things I don’t what to face or so that I don’t have to be involved. I hide what I think others may not like about me. I hide so that I don’t have to confront all the little things that suck in my life. I think hiding is dishonest…it prevents people, even those we love, from seeing us with all our warts and foibles. I’m tried of hiding. What’s the worse that can happen if I let the sunshine in?

How I did it
How I did it: Fortunately, for me I work for a company that has a band. That's right we have our own band. Each year we have a family orientated picnic and this year we held an American Idol like entertainment segment. No real prizes but it offered the change to sing in front of a live band. Myself and 9 other hopefuls jumped at the chance. It was fun and a little nerve racking.Would I do it again. You bet ya!!! I lo… Read how I did it…
