Yesterday, I began the courage exercises. My act of courage was to call someone I’ve never met or spoken to talk about what I could provide cheesecake-wise to the two events she is planning and managing for a real estate development company here in Austin. Was feeling anxious about calling and almost sent an email instead. But I went ahead and called anyway despite my nervousness and we had a nice conversation about what she was looking for and what some of the options I had that she could choose from. We texted again this morning and I’m just waiting for her next response. So it went well despite the negative voice in my head.
