lacking social grace and assurance b : causing embarrassment: (an awkward moment)

Ok,

I must confess that I was not expecting, for some reason, to meet people randomly through my day that know me and have read my blog. It’s quite disconcerting actually. The whole thing is very risky. Let your thoughts your heart out there for people to see and get feedback from them? Doesn’t sound very comfortable to me…no sir!! I ran into someone today that asked me if I was the Lady of the Woods (they added the s). I said I was, and I hightailed it out of there as fast as I could. I felt so awkward. I wasn’t very nice to them either. I felt so dumb. It’s amazing what insecurities being known in a certain way come up unexpectedly.

It’s an unwelcome turn of events, but somehow I think I must GET the hell over it! Even knowing that my family can read this is extremely hard to bear. But I must say that I am willing to go through the awkwardness of it all to get to the other side of possibly not hiding as much as I do under my tough façade.

Either way, if you are reading this, and you know me, or you think you may run into me ever, make me uncomfortable and talk to me about it.

Thanks

Ms. Lady of the Wood,

Ok I think it's really cool that somebody read your blog before they met you. Very cool. I wish that would happen to me. rawr.

rawr is a sound animals make. Think lion roar but on a smaller scale. Rawr!

Yikes Kevin. Sorry about the other day. I'm working on not hiding, but maybe you know how hard it is to break the habit...?
Thanks for the encouragement.
