Challenges

One of my writing buddies
wants to contribute
to a rather risque call for submissions.

She’s scared
and a bit worried about
what others will think
of her contributing.

So a half dozen of us
have issued a challenge.
We will all contribute to this call
if she does also.

She is now entering
because the rest of us are,
not because she’s ‘strange’
(or some other nonsense).

Big steps are less scary
when taken as part of a group.

If you’re thinking of taking a big step
(for the positive),
see if you can incorporate it
into a challenge.

If you know of a friend
struggling with a big step,
the best way to assist her
is to take that big step too.

You never know…
it could do positive things for you also.
