Helping Nonprofit Leaders Transform Conflict

Leadership Coach and Mediator

Day 8 of my Rejection Therapy: OMG!  Someone signed up for my blog!  Oh no!  Panic!  Terror!  Someone might actually be reading my posts!  OMG!!  I can stop my rejection therapy right now: there is enough rejection risk in this one person following my posts.  And it is not even my parents, my ever encouraging sisters, my dear and faithful friends: it’s someone I have never even heard of!…  It is a scam…  He wants to sell me something…  He wants me to read his blog…  He wants to date me…  He wants to have sex with me…  Oh no!  I have to tell him I am married and my house is locked!  I have to get in touch with him, and tell him to unsubscribe.  I never planned for someone to have an interest…  Maybe he doesn’t have an interest!…  Maybe he is just gonna post nasty comments…  Maybe he is gonna copy my posts…  Maybe…  My mind runs out of options…  Nope, it’s not: it’s back in the race: Maybe he is just curious.  Maybe he is looking for inspiration.  Maybe he has positive intentions.  Maybe he wants to be coached by me.  Yep, he definitely wants to benefit from my services!  And my mind spins of oncemore: I see myself on television shows, I see the blockbuster movie based on my blog, I see my novel piled up in every bookstore, I see truckloads of people lined up for  my autograph.

And then I see my hand touching the keyboard.  Just writing a blog.  About reading a blog.
