This is my internal refrain: “I don’t know how to do this.”

This is my beloved friend Eric’s response, “Yet. You do not know how to do this yet. You are the alpha and the omega.”

What he means is there is no right or wrong way to do this move. Yet, for me, there has been. I’ve been hesitant to do anything that might reveal I am an amateur or in any way mar my 84-year-old house. Paint a wall? Better leave that to the experts. Hang a painting on plaster and lathe walls? Seriously? I just learned what plaster and lathe are — how am I possibly equipped to drill into the wall? What are all those different drill bits for? And why is every color in my house some variation of red or brown?
