I just realized Shimelle was still posting blog prompt but I was not
getting them, so this is going to be my attempt to catch up on them.
Let’s see how well I do.

Tuesday: When was the last time you said yes to something new? Share
that experience and what you learned with your readers.

This is an excellent question. It’s been a long long long time since I
said yes to something new and interesting or challenging on a personal
level. I should think about this some more. I have said no to some
things which is good for me since I am not so good at saying no so I am
proud of that.


Professionally, I agreed to help out with a new product which stresses
me out a bit but it’s also made me excited to be learning new things and
I am quite happy about that.

Wednesday:Tell your blog readers about a time when you suddenly had
more confidence than you expected — maybe in replying ‘yes’ or ‘no’!

For me, this was accepting to take a six-month business trip to Japan.
Logically, I thought it was crazy and I didn’t really want to do it. But
emotionally and especially in my gut, I really wanted to do it. I knew I
was going to do it so I put all my logic aside and jumped in with both
feet.



It turned out to be a really good idea and I am eternally grateful that
I trusted my gut.

Thursday:What’s one thing in your daily routine that you would
happily say ‘no’ to if you had the option to magic it away?

Work? Hmmm, other than that, lately it’s been putting suntan lotion on
David every morning. I really dread it for some weird reason.
