I was afraid of so many things. I was afraid for no good reason. I was afraid of change and afraid that things would never change. I was afraid to go forward and afraid to go back.  I was afraid of failure and afraid of success. I was afraid of being big and afraid of being small. At times I was afraid of things I wasn’t even aware of. I was afraid of my own shadow. Then one day I met an amazing woman Rosanne and she gave me her friendship. The next thing she gave me was great, great, great advice. I was honest with her. I did not need to pretend that I was brave with her when I wasn’t. I was just honest. She believed in me.  After meeting her,  I chose to let go of the fear. And I just did it.  “It” being everything I wanted to do that I once thought I was unworthy of.  I am grateful for her.
