“what would you do if you weren’t afraid?”
poster on wall at FACEBOOK offices
I would walk on a tightrope at the circus, jump out of a plane, ride a roller coaster, zipline high above the trees (do you see a theme ?)
it is funny I can’t think of anything else. I have done or am doing everything else already that used to scare me.
I need your answers though…………..

Yes Nancy you got it. It’s the reason why my yoga practice halted once it was getting easier. With the physical challenges lessening, the meditative practice begins.
It’s like people who are afraid of spiders, when they close their eyes, they can imagine them crawling all over them if it is mentioned.
For me silence and stillness triggers an avalanche of thoughts bouncing around in my skull like a barrel of monkeys.
I keep walking past my yoga mat, sighing… I am such a scaredy cat ;(
Nancy says

deb says

Nancy says
Profess and be free, Sara! oh I guess you already did with Clooney. WTF is his problem with the no response? I think he is afraid of loving you too much.
Nancy says
wait I get that this is tough to fit in- but “fear of” – please explain. Do you mean you are afraid of the emotion that would come with the quiet? I get that.
Sara says
profess my lust for someone…. um so Nancy…I have somethign to tell you…. I”M KIDDING!!!!! (on the person anyway)…
Nancy says
wow – I did not know you did this. I am impressed. I don’t think you need to go again. I am already REALLY impressed
Cat says

Idas says
