Date: April 15, 2008 11:59PM Agreed coco,
These posts of LaV are very zen... the beauty is in the words that she isn't writing... or something like that.

Date: April 16, 2008 07:36AM thanks all
that was very nice of you to say i think sometimes i post stuff about myself then i say " geeee whiz!!!! that was TOO personal!" and then i feel like erasing it which is what i did if u already read it perhaps it didn't look like a big deal but i guess " big deals" are always "big" to those dealing with it LOL on the outside, it doesn't even appear to be a problem right now i'm trying to see the conflicts that i face as "opportunities" i mean, i really can turn it into an extraordinary opportunity if i just let go of the results and take the adventure for what is it and just go for it can anyone give me some tips, advice or just personal stories on just " GOING FOR IT" when they weren't 100% sure of what they were getting into but decided to do it anyways? it could be a 1) business venture 2) new job 3) new position within the job ( like leadership position) 3) relationship 4) family decision whatever... i guess the thing is that i don't want my fears to stop me from at least exploring the great opportunities i have for fear of "not knowing enough" even though i think i've already prepared as much as i possibly could ( i can't stomach any more "preparation" at this point) anyhow... just feeling like i could use a new perspective i'm thinking .... i'm SURE that many people ( including myself) take on NEW things that they are not totally sure about ALL the time but for some reason, i just feel kinda intimidated right now and a part of me doesn't... a part of me feels like i can never be intimidated by anyone... but my actions are showing otherwise so... any advise is helpful... i always gain from learning about other people's perspectives it would be appreciated keeping my particular situation to myself because i don't need any advice on the specifics... just need advise relating to the INTERNAL solutions which is all about attitude and a sense of adventure instead of trepidation ( this is what i am fighting inside) Re: ..

Date: April 16, 2008 07:54AM I'm not really sure of any thing I'm getting myself into, but I just kind of go for it anyway. Some of what you need to learn may come from experience anyway?
Good luck! Re: ..

Date: April 16, 2008 09:14AM yeah, i guess the building blocks of what i need to learn may come from experience like i may not know EVERYTHING but one skill that i do have and i pretty much honed it to a science is that i am VERY good asking specific questions so i guess i could use that to my advantage and just ask any time i am not sure of something
by the way thomas, i think that singers are VERY brave people because ... well, its like you are just putting yourself OUT THERE... and its a very personal thing does it take a lot of nerve to do that? i sang in front of a GROUP of people only once ( though i sing all the time to myself) it was a favorite song of mine but the microphone wasn't working so people said that they had a hard time hearing the words and i sounded like i was whispering but they clapped for me anyhow ( cuz they are nice people plus it was an off the cuff thing so it was no big deal but i think its a cool thing to be a singer there are so many songs i love to sing i wonder how u do it though it would take me a lot of nerve to sing in front of people whom i don't know things like that i need to get over Re: ..

Date: April 16, 2008 01:10PM When I am doing something exciting that I am nervous about I make sure the outcome I expect is really what I want to happen. When I am sure, I picture in my minds eye doing it and having the outcome exactly the way I want it. I don't stop focusing on that picture and the picture of myself doing it. Re: ..

Date: April 17, 2008 04:24AM The moto of my life is go for it, no limnitsm. no lack of entusiasum, no hesitation. Once I write something down it's too late, I'm fully comitted and it happens. Look at what I've done in thsse past few months from a point of knowing nothing st sll about a subject.
I'm hoping to find other like minded musicians now and form a group. one person said "el and the naturals" LOL elnatural Re: ..

Date: April 17, 2008 07:06AM It used to be more nervewracking to sing in front of people... but I've done it probably thousands of times now so I don't really get too wigged out about it!

Date: April 17, 2008 09:47AM <<practice practice practice>> okay tommy, i like that
i can definetley go for that and also if its not exactly what i want, i can always change lanes and do something else i guess thats also like life nobody has a handbook for doing life but we leap off the cliff ( into life) anyhow... and " construct our wings on the way down" so i guess i'm not alone EL and the Naturels is a darn good name for a band ( i must say so myself) but i thought of yet ANOTHER good band name for you how 'bout THE NAPA KIM CHEES and El Radishes ( since u are the kim chi master maker) ( i know the title is triply redundant but u gotta have fun with the naming, u know?) rawnoggin i like your name it reminds me of egg nog ( but raw made out of coconut milk and cinnamon and nutmeg! instead... gulp ! hey pakd4fun yes it is true focusing on the good things is key and its also good for my mental health as well raw1228 well, i missed your infamous post ( the one everyone seemed to have read/seen except me) Re: ..

Date: April 17, 2008 09:49AM i'm just going to go for it
the heck with all my fears what is life but just the thrill of conquering one's own fearful perceptions and soaring to the sky while doing it? to me, that is FREEDOM i don't have to yearn for it i can just take it, u know? like a pink or green cloud floating by i can just reach out and take a piece of it and internalize it like raw cotton candy that's right i'm no coward uh no... not me! okay, i am... but so what? i am going to have my adventure like i always do ( whether i like it or not! ha ha!) its either that or "analysis paralysis" and ANYTHING is better than THAT!

Date: April 17, 2008 04:07PM how I get things done I know nothing about
Toss out fear and all limiting thoughts. Dont listen to and get away from anyone who says you cant do that. Read books, search the net and or ask people who are experts in the area unitll you have enough info to create a plan. Start working even if you dont see the whole picture clearly. If you get stuck on some part of it go back to no 1. and or reach into your own creativeness that you dont know you have yet. elnatural Re: ..

Date: April 17, 2008 06:28PM I don't think of it as changing lanes so much as the scenery changing around me.

Date: April 17, 2008 11:19PM once upon a time.............
an overcome woman called me and said you must meet me tonight for dinner so I can talk to you about something very important. I replied - I already knew you where going to call me and what you are going to say so there's no need to meet. And she said please meet me any way! I can only do this in person. So we met and it was exactly as I knew it would! She said even though I was a raw foodist and she wasnt her atraction to me was overwelming and promised to become a raw foodist. I knew then It would never happen and was all a bunch of baloney. She wanted me to keep her on track to going raw. I told her I cant and or wont do that for you or anyone else. Her raw food endeavor never went anywhere. Later this person proposed and new that would happen too. I give this true story as an example that with me there are NO secrets!11111 That's the secret I have and keep. Not so secret now though : ) el rawdsh and the red hot kimchi makers Re: ..
