I've been quiet all week. If you think it's a result of the pandemic and the civil rights momentum, you're wrong. Understandably, you'd think this though since it's what is on everyone's mind and heart. But now, it's something more significant than the events of the world (plus I've been out in the wilderness with almost no cell service).

I've been quiet because of the push and pull that...

Having moments of anxiety just before you are called to stand out, are part of your growth. If your heart races and your breath shortens just before you know it's a moment to make your mark, you are right on track.
