I'm coming late to this project but I am all in.  That's one of the things that makes me different.  I like to jump into stuff that seems worthwhile, even if I am not at the starting point.

I am also the "just admit it" kind, the person who will go ahead and say the thing people don't want to say but some folks want to hear...in the sense that, once it's said, there is a sense of relief, like when try to find some one else who also saw, heard, thought something that you've seen, heard, thought.  I believe that just getting it out there is a major accomplishment and that it provides a starting point for generating the next step(s).   Like jumping in described above, just admitting it can be irritating to some, and certainly somewhat nerve wracking to me, but in the end, it's who I am and that's that.


I am also--in a further iteration of the jumping in, just admit it, style--very experimental.  I like to try stuff, with the knowledge that change and adjustment can and will take place.  Again, sometimes a little nerve wracking, esp when you're experimenting on a broader scale, with people who may be a little less enthusiastic about not knowing the exact outcome, but I've been coming to appreciate those people more over time...seeking their feedback as a kind of check point.  

Most of all, I am a believer and as difficult as it has been over the years to believe in whatever needs believing in, I've been more frightened by the moments when  I have lost the ability to believe than in some of my most wacko beliefs, so, I'm going to just keep believing, wishing, dreaming...like the song goes:  

you've got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream, how you going to have a dream come true?
