LalaMama's Challenge

This is more a challenge for myself than anyone else in our little dis-n-dat circle: learning to do Ana forrest's strengthening routine. I did great on The Basic Moves segment (ha, ha) but the rest will take mucho work. Anyone interested in ipoding it to take to Alaska for daily workouts?

Oh why do I get myself into these things...will I never learn to shut my mouth!

Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway



We challenged ourselves to take a flying trapeze lesson on New Year's Eve. Here's a photo of Miss Pamela flying with our instructor, Scout. It was an exhilarating experience. Each time I stepped on the platform to prepare for my flight I was terrified. My fear never dissipated -- but I did find it easier to face. With each jump I felt myself becoming strong with the knowledge that I could face my fear and succeed by flyinng.

I've been telling myself for years that fear is a normal part of life. It's constant work to permit myself to be afraid and to move forward anyway. The smile on Pam's face reminds me that facing fear can be joyful, exhilarating and empowering.

LIVE LIFE

HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL!!! Make 2008 Great!
