THE TRUTH IS… I’m scared shitless about my life.
THE TRUTH IS… I’ve been scared ever since I’ve been breathing. I once called my father at work to ask him if the dog would be okay during a solar eclipse. ~but what if ginger looks at the eclipse? dog blindess is a serious and growing problem~ So I really can’t use my fear as a guide.
THE TRUTH IS… I’m sick to death of being scared. I think a lot about having nothing to fear but fear itself.
THE TRUTH IS… I do care who reads this blog and what they think. I wish I didn’t.
THE TRUTH IS… I used to love teaching. I mean really head-over-heels about it. I wonder what happened. Some teachers make it through rough conditions and keep their vitality.
THE TRUTH IS… Refusing to even consider that I might not be cut out for it would be stupid.
THE TRUTH IS… I don’t believe I’m not cut out for it.
THE TRUTH IS… Not being cut out for teaching, as it exists in American public schools today, isn’t the SOUL SHATTERING DEATH of a life calling.
THE TRUTH IS… I bought some shorts today, my size, without trying them on and when I got them home they fit, but they were TIGHT. I lost 40 pounds in 2007, but 08 is kicking my ass. Going to change that.
THE TRUTH IS… I’m working on a new blog that I’m excited about, but I’m also overwhelmed.
THE TRUTH IS… I have David Allen’s book, Getting Things Done half finished in my stack of books by the bed. I also have “read getting things done” on my to-do list.
THE TRUTH IS… I wish I’d learned to laugh at shit like that sooner.
THE TRUTH IS… I have 19 separate lists going right now in a steno pad. This is David Allen’s fault. I’m not sure whether it’s a good or bad thing. The current problem is managing the lists. Locating the right tools.
THE TRUTH IS… My husband ~bless him for putting up with me lately~ balances me. And we have a lot of fun.
THE TRUTH IS…I was working on a blog post about what truth is when I saw this meme on Jose’s blog. ~who is, by the way, my first nomination for the men of web 2.0 calendar that a gal pal and i are working on talking about. not sure if she wants to be associated with something so prurient, so no link yet~
THE TRUTH IS… I have no idea what truth is.
THE TRUTH IS… I’m a 36–year-old American woman leaving a career and cashing in retirement money to buy herself a new start. That’s my viewpoint, and the only one I can tell the truth about.
THE TRUTH IS… I’ve decided I’m worth the risk.
THE TRUTH IS… Even though I believe I’m doing the right thing, I still feel like a screw-up. I have concluded that is false. I am not a screw-up. I just have a bad habit of thinking that way.
THE TRUTH IS… It’s still scaring the shit out of me.

THE TRUTH IS most of us are running scared. Nothing is safe, nothing is guaranteed. We do our best, try our hardest..and sometimes it’s still not enough.
I admire your willingness to bring some of your fears out into the open.
THE TRUTH IS I’m afraid of growing older, afraid I’ll never catch up in the technology field, afraid that the times are so different for my children and the dangers so much greater.
But also, THE TRUTH IS that I’ve found some true friends online who are helping me cope with these fears, just as I hope we can help you.

Truth is, I like this post.
Truth is, you always tell the truth.
Truth is, I wouldn’t be opposed to that calendar so long as you give me a good year to get “this” (holds body) all together.
Truth is, I’m excited about said post, too.

The truth is… I still feel like a poseur sometimes. The truth is, I’d rather be around people who *aren’t* so deathly knowledgeable about themselves!

The truth is I have no idea what I’m talking about, really. But I appreciate your honesty, Anne & Dianne.
Truth is, Jose, that calendar won’t be skin-ish. Men of Web 2.0 are more sexy for their minds than bodies.
