“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
— Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear, Dune
Last year was rough for me. It's not like any thing in particular happened, well, now that I think about it, that is not exactly true.
2013 has been a year of anxiety and fear for me, and only now, as I sit here writing this post does it start to make sense.
My first memory of the year is the morning someone kicked the door into our house. Nothing was stolen. No one was hurt. The dog barked, and scared them off. I am not sure my anxiety levels ever return to normal after that.
So now on the cusp of 2014, I have decided to start new. I'm going to reboot my life and career, and that starts with the return of Project: Shadow.
Some of my diehard readers will undoubtedly say, "Project: Shadow has never gone away."
If you are one of them, I would like to say, thank you for reading my tumblr blog. While it is true I continued to post over there, we all have to admit it was a half assed blog. I want to get back to blogging like I used to.
I miss the sharing and the community. I need to refocus my mind away from fear and back towards the things I love. After all, true love casts out fear. I invite you on this journey with me.
I look forward to your questions and comments. Together, we are Project: Shadow.
