This work explores the mix of emotions that can happen when starting something new, especially something worthwhile. The exhilaration and joy of newness competes with crushing self-doubt and fear of the unknown. A first voice questions, “can I do this? Am I good enough?” A second, more quiet voice answers, “yes I can and yes I am.” To amplify that second voice is the practice.
