While I'm at It...Update!

A few weeks ago I wrote a post sharing I'd maybe, just maybe, be considered for a 'Success Story' for Oxygen magazine (I took a risk and sent them some pics of me from on a Thailand trip 5 yrs ago, which prompted me to write my own Success Story).

Well my update is...I never heard back from them for that story...

But I DID hear back about a different story I'd sent about this here blog. I told them how I *heart* creating weekly goals for the different roles I am in life, and how it keeps me in check as an athlete, and yada yada (you know the spiel if you read this blog).
Well, the copy editor found the intent of this blog to be of much interest, and thought readers would benefit from this too (all right!). So she asked me if I was okay to possibly use my blog/example for a future story (uh...yeah!). So I sent in a few more pics (including the one above) along with release form, and waited for a reply.


But I didn't hear back. So I waited a bit longer. And still no reply. 


So this week I decided to just hold my breath, take (another) risk (that's what it's about right?), and reach out to her. So I did. And I didn't immediately hear back, but a few days later the copy editor responded.  And it sounds like it's still happening. I still don't know if it's a 100% go, but it's on the right path (woo-hoo!).


I'm sharing this with you because I'm learning so much from just continuing to push myself, take risks, and be okay with the results. And this applies to ALL roles in our life. So sometime this week, take a breath and take a risk. You just don't know what'll come of it...
