I know that you've shared this with me privately, but to see you post it for all the world to see is another BIG step towards squelching that now quiet voice for good. Please know that I love you and I am so very proud of you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17615017740611513531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188401551905117457.post-74826826635035780452013-07-06T10:47:22.979-05:002013-07-06T10:47:22.979-05:00I will see to it that you aren't the girl sitt...I will see to it that you aren't the girl sitting by herself. :-)It really is worth it, no matter how far outside your comfort zone it is.

I don't have the voice that says I'm not good enough or am unwanted, but I worry that I'm the least talented person in a room and just the idea of going to a conference like UtopYA makes me nauseous. But I plan to be there next year, even if I am the next girl to sit alone. Thank you for sharing your experience! You truly are not alone.
