I am challenging myself to voice opinions. I am opinionated but I'm tentative to share. Certain issues and people are safe zones - my husband and best girl friends may know some of my opinions. But place me in a group of acquaintances or with people I don't know well and I shut down! Sometimes this is embarrassing. I want to raise my own daughter not to be afraid to ask questions as I was in school. I want her to see a strong role model in me. Here we go!
