insecurities
Tonight I will be teaching my very first scrapbooking 101 class. I am not sure how many people are attending, so I don't know how many I will be teaching. But, even though I have been excited about this...I feel nervous. I really do love scrapbooking. I didn't start selling CTMH to make money (Ben's dreams of me being his Sugar Mama are slowly dying...) it was just so I could teach people. And now that it comes down to it...I am scared of rejection. What if people look at my pages and say, " yikes she is not very good at this so why would I want her to teach me?" I know that I am the only one on this planet with a fear of rejection but...I just don't want to be the reason why people don't scrapbook. Maybe I am just reading way too much into this....

You'll be fine. You do a great job, so don't worry!
By now, you've probably already taught the class, but the secret of teaching can be summed up in one word--"bluff". You have to convince only one person--yourself. I don't think I've ever taught at school, at church anywhere when I've been convinced I was the best person for the job, but I bluffed myself into believing it. They're coming to learn from you so teach them what you know and do so very well. Love, Aunt Joan
