Change starts with me

Today I stood up for what I feel is right, as a gun owner but mostly and more importantly, as a Mom. 

For so long, I have joined in on the complaints of laws, lack of laws, change and the lack of change.  Today, I decided to see a change, and it started with me. I talked to people I didn't know, I knocked on the door of a representative and walk right on in and asked to speak with him.  I agreed to be the one who spoke to the "law-makers" if they had questions about anyone in our group owning a gun. 

I decided it's time to start becoming the strong, thought provoking, independent woman I have always longed to be.  What has held me back, you might ask?  Fear.  Plain and simple.  Fear.  Fear of speaking to those I don't know.  Fear of not having anything important to say.  Fear of not saying the right thing.  Fear of people not liking what I have to say.  Fear of them not liking me. Fear of not being enough.

Fear, fuck fear, today I stood up for what I believe in.  Today, I stood my ground because today, I am enough and damnit, I have had enough.
