Thunder and lightning

"Thunder is good, thunder is impressive," wrote Mark Twain. "But it is the lightning that does the work." According to my analysis of the omens, Cancerian, your job right now is to be like the lightning, even if other people's thunder is temporarily hogging the credit and the attention. It may take a while, but your bolts of pure energy, not their noisy hype, will ultimately be appreciated as the most important factor in the group success." -From Free Will Astrology

I joined a women's networking group yesterday and had to give a 5-min speech about myself. I felt a little out of place with all of these high-powered business women from Bellevue. And I was so nervous, I could feel my voice shaking during my "speech."

When I read my horoscope this morning, it gave me words for how I felt. I don't have the energy of thunder, hardly. It's important for me to remember that just being myself is enough. I don't have to sell myself. I just need to show my warmth and personality. That's enough. And I believe that if I can relax into that space, bring my full self forward, then others will feel my energy and my passion for what I do.

The networking group is hosting a new member orientation this afternoon. I'm going to try to just be myself and let the universe take care of the rest.
