Here I go again!

BOOM! The seat restraints clutch at me like the fingers of a giant grabbing me from behind. BOOM BOOM BOOM the second stage cuts in pressing my head tight to the headrest. My heart races at the prospect of the awesome power surrounding me. Just when I think I'm turning into a giant girl shaped pancake, the rocket breaks free and the grabbing digits eases their grip.

Relaunching and refocusing a blog of this nature feels like going into space. I figured I'd use the metaphor. Lets get one thing straight right away. I have fear. Lots and lots of fear. Sometimes it stops me, sometimes it knocks me down and sits on my face. So why call the blog "My Fearless Life?" Because it was good enough and available as a URL.

Living an awesome life comes with down time, mistakes and do overs. We need time to recover from powerful experiences and we need a contrast to know when something is amazing. Honor all stages and show up and do life.

In the next few days I'll post more about who I am and where I'm planning to go. I'm going to leave the posts related to surviving a rough childhood, but the focus of the overall blog is moving away from that. It's a part of who I am and what motivates me, and I love myself and am proud of my survival. I want to focus more on the lessons I learned.

Join me as I experience My Fearless Life.
