At the end of last year, I almost avoided signing up for something that — these days — brings me a lot of joy. In today's installment of 5-MINUTE FRIDAY, I talk about letting go of worry and embracing uncertainty in favor of growth, and how sometimes that first hurdle is really the most difficult part of the whole shebang (even what sprinting is involved). 
PROMPT: When was the last time you needed to give yourself a pep talk? What was it about, and how did you feel after?
