<3 I'm getting it, you guys. I'm feeling fear, and I am sticking around to feel it. I say hello to it and keep going. When it seems like I might be abandoned (the worst), my instinct is to run and hide, but I don't (mostly... this is definitely not a perfect process). I still have a lot to learn, I'm sure. But I feel like there is progress. Yay. A reminder to myself: this doesn't mean fear will go away. It will likely keep coming back to test me, again and again. How I deal with it will keep changing (hopefully), as I grow and learn new things. Growth on a spiral, not a straight line. (Thanks, Tymothy Roy) What progress have you noticed?
