Courage to contact the families

I have always felt that 14 was my lucky number. Is it any wonder that I chose today to contact the references for Agency?

I draft an email. I tweak it. I decide that I can send it. After all, it's just information. It isn't committing me to this agency. It's just another step in the journey. That's all. Just a baby step.

After I send the first email to the single woman reference, I look at the other names. Suddenly, I'm compelled to contact all of them! My fingers fly over the keys and I have sent request after request after request. My rationale is that someone might not get the email or someone might be busy or someone might be too busy.

Nine requests.... nine familes who know I'm considering Agency.
