Driver’s License Test
It was a cold winter in 1957. I was wearing a heavy wool coat. I was excited to be going for my Drivers License test. I lived on a farm and at age 13 I had to drive the tractor in the field as my dad sat behind the tractor on a grain binder tying the bundles.
My job was to make the corners clean and straight so not to leave any grain standing. I found this very difficult as I struggled to push in the clutch and turn the steering wheel as hard as I could as the tractor continued to move along. Many times I left grain standing because I turned too soon or too late and cut into the field of grain. That was not acceptable. I kept trying and finally I learned it pretty good.
I’m in my dad’s ’53 Buick with no automatic steering, my heavy winter coat seems too bulky. I am very warm, sweating with anxiety. The driver license officer is sitting in the passenger seat and watching as I shift the gears, look over my shoulder, and slow down and look both ways at a stop sign and RR tracks. My emotions were racing, and I was determined to accomplish this task and pass my driver’s test. I did!
57 years later I am passing another assessment, doing a webinar for the first time. I’m in a much better emotional state because I have learned to prepare, plan and practice. The BIG THING that I have learned is to TRUST my inner knowing, believe it will be the best it can be, and that anything is possible. I have learned that doing something is better than waiting for perfection.
The day of the webinar approaches and I’m a little anxious, but not like I was in 1957 when taking my driver’s test, not like I have been with so many other “trials” in my lifetime. I know in my heart the webinar will be the best it can be. I believe I have done the preparation, and with wonderful help, it will be just fine.
Yes, this is my first webinar and I passed the test!

Loved reading this!!’
Charlie, thanks for reading and commenting. I love to see who reads and comments. I bet you can relate to some of these experiences I talk about in my blogs. Have you read some of the other ones?
Congratulations on tackling a new feat and willing to keep on learning. I have purchased soaps with lavender, chamomile, honey, etc for many years and some essential oils as well. I listened to your webinar and thank you for sharing this basic information. It is a great place for me to start. I will be sharing the breast health info with others. I wish I had known about this years ago.
Tammy, we all get to tackle new experiences all life long. I bet you have tackled a few of your own. Our next webinar will focus on Essential Oils for Awakening consciousness, Chakras, Emotions and some really good stuff. Join us again for the Webinar on February 18th.
