The Email I Was Afraid to Send

I want to share a little story with you today. It's about choices—the choices that keep us playing small, and the choices that move us powerfully toward who we were born to be.
 

You've likely experienced this yourself: moments when you chose what felt familiar or safe, even though a deeper part of you knew there was something more—something that was yours to do. Maybe there's even something right now that you feel called to step into, but something is holding you back.
 

Taking action usually means leaving our comfort zone.
And staying in the comfort zone often feels easier… safer.
 

Fear can sneak in here too—fear of failure, fear of visibility, fear of rejection. I know these feelings well. Perhaps too well.
 

You see, I have a big vision. A vision of creating a world where love is the answer, no matter what the question.
 

Can you imagine what your life would look like if every choice you made came from a place of love? Everything would shift. Your inner landscape. Your relationships. Your sense of possibility.
 

Yes, it's a huge ambition—but I understand something simple and true: every big vision begins with one small step. It begins with the tiny choices we make every single day.
 

So if I want to help create a world that chooses love, I have to choose love over fear… again and again and again.
 

Recently, fear got the best of me.
 

I've been wanting to invite Neale Donald Walsch—the author of Conversations With God and someone whose work has deeply impacted my life—to be a guest on my podcast. Through a series of serendipitous events, I was given the contact information of his personal assistant.
 

And then… I sat on it. For three months.
No action. No email. Just fear.
 

Fear of rejection.
Fear of being ignored by someone I deeply admire.
Fear of not being good enough.
Fear that my show was too small for someone known around the world.
 

Inviting him was something I knew was mine to do. The nudge never went away. But I kept putting it off.
 

Until yesterday.
 

Yesterday, I finally listened to that quiet inner voice urging me forward. I chose love over fear, courage over comfort, and sent the email.
 

Two hours later, I received a reply:
Neale Donald Walsch is delighted to be a guest on my show.
 

I was stunned. Overjoyed. I fist-pumped the air. Yeah!

And in that moment—feeling both the victory and the deep internal work it took to get there—I found myself thinking about you and this community I serve.
 

What is it that you know is yours to do?
What fear is standing between you and that first step?
And can you choose love—love for yourself, love for your vision—long enough to take that step?
 

Because everything you desire begins with the smallest acts of courage.

And you are so worthy of taking them.
