I finished this dolly last night after putting it off for a long time. Her hair was difficult; the dress wasn’t the exact shade I was trying to match; she kind of needs ears, but I didn’t stitch them; but mostly I am afraid to give it away because it is a goodbye gift. When fears and perfectionism get in the way, I need to remember that life is short. I want this doll to be held and not be a symbol of my hesitation. I don’t want to live a life of beating back the call of my heart. I want to run, led by a spirit of generosity, breathless, to the lives of others.
Thanks for joining me for this personal pep talk. What generous things does your heart tell you to do? Do you find it challenging to do exactly what your heart tells you?
