    Get ready for it. Here it comes. Hold your seats! The "F" bomb You know the word. You know what word I'm talking about. The sneaky little bastard that creeps into our mind at all hours of the day only to disrupt and cause anxiety. FEAR If you want to know the truth, I believe fear may be worse than f*ck. I mean seriously, fear is some effed up stuff. Fear can paralyze people. Fear stops us dead in our tracks from following our hearts desire. Fear traps us in darkness. Fear accelerates like wildfire if we give it an ounce of oxygen. Fear debilitates. Fear isolates. Fear suffocates. Even though fear is completely senseless, it lives in the mind. It protects the ego. The ego that tells us to worry about what others think. Fear is resistance to being the best and most beautiful being we can [...]

What If? Do you ever get stuck in fear, afraid to make a decision? Do you find yourself full of the what-ifs?   What if it doesn’t work out? What if it’s the wrong color? What if I don’t succeed?

  Pst. Pst. I have a secret. I am feeling all giddy inside. Seriously, I haven't felt like this since I was a kid. Giddy with excitement. Giddy with an I-can't-eat feeling in my stomach. Giddy that I have a secret that I am going to whisper to 1000 Facebook friends. I have lived my life consumed by the fear of what others will think of me, in all aspects. When I graduated college, I got a stale job in my hometown as an insurance adjuster. It didn't sound glamorous or light my fire in any way, but I took it anyway. Why? Well, I wanted to stay in my college town, and it was a professional job. I figured I should just take what I can get and see if I like it. Do you know where "take-what-you-can-get-and-see-if-you-like-it" will lead you? It led me straight to all fours, crawling under [...]
