Put your shoulder to the wheel.

Well, I think I'm going to keep going. I really do want this experience. Will I win?...probably not. But I'm o.k. with that. If that's what I was doing it for than it wouldn't be worth the investment, but I think the journey has taken me so far, and is shaping my life already, that I want to see what else I can gain from it. Maybe my little job will have to pay for it, or who knows, maybe I will find the sponsorships. I think it's good to be realistic about the time and energy I can put into this. Can I change the world right now. No, but I can make a small difference perhaps. Hopefully the judges will realize that and not expect too much. If they do, then I'm not the girl to win. I'll give it my all, but if it is not enough, then that's o.k. I'll hopefully get what I need to out of the experience and go home a happier woman.

Lindsay, I love your honesty. I think in the back of all our minds, there's this little nagging voice saying, something get me out of this! It is a lot of work, but there is no denying the changes it creates in women. Getting out of your comfort zone and marketing yourself is part of the transformation. Pray about it and think positively and the laws of attraction will come into play and you'll find sponsors.

Hey linds - so I am totally amazed at your ambition. I honestly cannot comprehend how you can juggle everything you do. I gotta give you props girl.
That zac effron dream is a hoot.

Lindsay, Nisha hit the nail right on the head, when things are right, they just happen. I have had fears of my own & can honestly say that dropping out for me has never been an option. I believe in this experience so much that I will do whatever it takes to get sponsors. Am I scared to death because of the economy? Absolutely but think of how many businesses are out there, just because a few of them can't afford to help doesn't mean they are all like that. Keep plugging away & doing what you know to be right & everything will all work out! I'm glad you are sticking with this because this will be an experience you will remember for the rest of your life!! Good luck!

You are so sweet! Thanks for the comments on my blog! I know, isn't it funny how you can meet someone once or twice but feel close to them right away? It must mean you were meant to be in each others lives at that particular moment! See you in a week!!!
