Note from the Candlemaker:
I am a chicken in so many ways. I may call it shyness, but really it's fear. Fear of judgment, failure, ridicule, disappointing others, rejection. Fear of appearing too big for my britches, egotistical, stupid, mediocre. The usual bag of tricks. So, methinks, small is safe. Small is good. Small's three requisite best friends Timidity, Justification and Self-Doubt may not be as fun to party with, but they sure pad the comfort zone.
Staying hidden isn't serving me anymore if, in fact, anytime after junior high it ever did. Downplaying my success isn't serving me. Neither is stifling my truths.
