I am heading out later week to the Disney Epcot Food & Wine festival to represent HGTV! I will be giving presentations all weekend on holiday entertaining. Come see me! I am so excited for an amazing weekend, but also very nervous. I had an interesting chat with my friend, Shelley the other day and she was surprised how nervous I was before the classes that I taught at TCCE. She said that she would have never thought I would be so nervous, just based on my personality she knows from the blog. But here’s the deal friends, most days I work at home all day by myself on my computer {which I absolutely LOVE!}. If I’m not designing, writing or editing photos, I’m out styling or prop shopping. I love my “job” and that I am able to work from home on my own hours. It is out of my comfort zone to speak in front of people. I was the nervous nelly in my college public speaking class who had to start over multiple times after forgetting what I was supposed to say. But the thing is, the more I do it, I know the more comfortable I will become. And now, rather than talking about some random topic in college, I’m talking about what I know and love. That has to make it easier, right? I know I need to challenge myself with opportunities that may be out of my normal comfort zone. The feeling of accomplishment is so amazing when you’re done and you know you did a good job. It’s just the part before, where my stomach is knots and I’m asking myself, why the heck am I doing this?

So, with that my lovely readers….please…

Wish me luck!
