Exciting? Yes. Terrifying? Yes.

What is the upside? To touch people. To reach out and open someone’s heart to something within them that has remained closed – or guarded. To publicly acknowledge and accept that my given talents are not to be denied but embraced and shared.

What is the downside? To touch people. And by doing so, risk derision for audacity – that the conduit that is within me has value outside of myself – to a greater audience than just me and those whom I love.
