Day 13: The Rewards of Overcoming Fear

Overcoming fear has some great rewards! I just returned yesterday from a fantastic time at the Allume conference. It’s crazy to think what I would have missed out on if I had let my fear hold me back.

I had planned to write a lot of specifics about who I met, what I learned, and how I felt, but it’s getting late, and it’s better to publish a less than perfect post than wait for it to be perfect and not publish at all. I took very, very few pictures, but I’ll let the few I did take do most of the talking. I hope to write more about some of who I met and what I learned later, but that may take me a week or two.

I know you probably can’t see it too well, but that’s Phil Vischer, the creator of Veggie Tales, speaking on the first night:
