She who DARES

I have a shirt that reads “She who Dares”
As I am in my 60th decade now, I’ve been thinking a lot about overcoming fear.
It’s so easy to get trapped in our lives, going about the day to day, and just
being in default mode. It takes courage and effort to step beyond and get out
of our own way, you know? I have always wanted to try paddle boarding, and
on this trip I finally did! I was so excited as I slowly went from kneeling to
standing on the board, shaking and hoping I wouldn’t fall in. And I didn’t! I didn’t
fall. The below picture was me facing a giant cruise ship. The exhilaration I felt,
was beyond words. And I thought, “I want more experiences like this! Where I
feel Strong, and fearless, and confidence in my body’s ability to do things.
