To join or not

Moving once again over a 10 year stretch, and feeling this time that it is a more permanent stop,
for some reason took a longer time to establish an equilibrium status.  Now, as in other places
I have lived, there is an opportunity to join a group that offers prospective business entrepreneurs with facts, support and mentoring.

As has happened before in the past, I need to decide if I feel that I do have a place in such an
environment, or to continue to go it alone.  Do not misunderstand, we all have what to learn,
it is more a question of finding an environment that you feel you will be able to learn and grow
in, as well as show your personality, ideas and growth.

When you are 'queen' of your own classroom, where your words and opinions count, it is hard to
go back to the feeling of a child taking their own first baby steps.  It is easy to feel crushed and
lacking in confidence, knowing you can hold your own in almost every circumstance, but
unbelievably still suffering from shyness and vulnerability.

To join, take the plunge, or not to join? That is the question for today.
