Two weeks in...

Well, perhaps some of our fears have been faced in the last few days. Just got to help a friend face one and it was amazing. Hope no one is trying to do this alone--it's far easier and much more fun if you get some people to tag along and cheer you on. Personally, I'm finding myself in a fear facing mindset that causes me to do lots of little things that scare me a little, as opposed to doing a few things that scare me a lot. What exactly?

Well here are a few of them:
1. admitted defeat
2. called an old friend
3. cried in front of someone
4. decided to live in the everyday instead of escaping to the next big adventure I wasn't ready for
5. began to try living in the unconditional love of God that is not dependent upon my contribution to society...started by doing absolutely nothing on Sunday--which I now highly recommend.

(okay, maybe these weren't such little fears, but they felt smaller than the terror that fills me at the thought of riding a rollercoaster)

So my question is, anyone got a story to share? Or are you scared to tell it?
