Have you ever had that moment where, just after discovering something amazing, you realize - "Oh no - my kids/self/pets have been w/o this all these years!  What have I done?!"  I think it probably happens to all mothers at some point, and plenty of folks who aren't mothers.  I tend to have a providentialist viewpoint - God knows the circumstances of the culture in which my knowledge & attitudes are formed, and provides the many graces and opportunities it takes before things sink into my rock-hard head.  Typically for me, it goes like this:

1. I hear about something and think, "That's INSANE!" 
   
2. I hear about it again and think, "That's nice that it works for them, but there is no way I could, b/c XYZ." But it sits w/ me for a few months or years.
   
3. I hear about it again and obsessively research it until I know everything I need to know to succeed, and then start.

I'm a nut, I know!  But at the end of step 3, I can either slide into the "Woe is the past!" or I can say, "God led me into this at the time that He knew I could make the most of it, and any possible harm that has come was allowed by His holy will, meaning that good may come of it.  Let it be done to me according to His Will!"
