Most of my life I’ve been driven by anxieties over illness, pain, death, natural disasters and accidents. Made worse by age wich brings us so much closer to our fragility and mortality. Not a groundbraking notion but an unsettling one.
But- it is slowly dawning me … my fear is not about these things that I have little control over. No, what I fear most is that I have NOT LIVED THE BEST LIFE I COULD LIVE.
Wow. I am feeling quite giddy at the thought of what this means; it’s a complete shift in a perception that I have carried around for 40-odd years.
By the way, personally I have always found scars to make people very interesting. And I admire how you face up to your fears and how you deal with them.
Thank you so much, Christine.

Your post really hit home with me. Keeping in mind the fragility to use as fuel…I discovered a lump on my arm last Friday and went to the doctor immediately. He acted like it was nothing and sent me home saying to call if anything changed. It’s still here and I’m trying not to think about it…but that’s so hard. I think it may be stress induced.
Anyway, maybe I should do a new series on lumps. Use this fragility literally.

You have just given me the best reasons to ignore Fear.
Why should I hold back on any of my ideas or “save them for later” when I could present them to the world now!
Who knows what’s around the bend and if I save them, they could be lost forever OR, more importantly, they could be blocking an even better idea yet to come.
I am so grateful for your words, Christine.

As soon as I read this, my first instinct was to pick up the phone and call you. Of course, you would have killed my because its around 5am your time! I wish I was there to give you a big HUG in person but know I’m giving you one from far away! I love you honey…you are an inspiration to us all.
