that there are several things that are fear inducing
- Michael Vick shows up to pet sit.
- Finding a suspicious warm spot while swimming with friends.
- Finding out your friend accidently booked a cosmetics party with a registered sex offender...uh oh...
Some things you should fear...at least conservatively fear...other things maybe some healthy angst or terror is called for. September is coming and the fear is creeping up again. My 90 day scan will take place in this month as well as the 3 year anniversary of my first cancer diagnosis.
But instead of worrying about things I have no control over I've taken a lesson from Kris Carr. Her documentary film, crazy sexy cancer showed how she used her own diagnosis as a challenge to harness her fear and go forward. Unbelievably inspiring.
Who's afraid of some tests, some anniversary or cancerversary. Big deal. After all, there was a brief period in college where I was fearless. I still am the same girl who stage rushed and grabbed Donny Osmond at the Hill Cummorah paegant. 
Donny, if you're reading this...I admit it...it was me... but I was 19 and impressionable and thank you for not having me arrested.
Thank you Kris, for showing me I need to make contact with that gutsy girl inside. She's in there, I just have to keep calling her back every now and then.
