Courage is not the absence of fear,
but rather the judgement that something else
is more important than fear

Ambrose Redmoon

I'm traveling at top speed these days, faster & more furiously then I can ever remember. I hold my breath way too much, I feel that heaviness of anxiety at the bottom of my throat, fear I think that's similar to musicians, actors, athletes - it's the fear that gets you going - it's the fear that makes you compete with yourself - to try harder, better, faster. The fear that makes you want to win this next big challenge you've placed in front of yourself. I'm rushing from one great thing to the next. It's hilly country we're racing through - I plummet down some of those hills into a pit like valley (one of weakness & nojo) and then suddenly, just as quickly, I'm shooting back up the next big mountain, confident, excited & peddling as fast as I can.

I realize now I used to be self-employed - a relatively passive position of waiting for clients to tell me what they wanted me to do for them. Now I am a business woman and an entrepreneur. I'm in charge, I'm the creative director, sales & marketing, promotions, I'm the purchasing agent, a sourcing specialist, the shipping department (with Oliver) & I cover both accounts payable & receivable - it's a ton of work - it makes my head spin much of the time but ...

Hullo ! I'm having mostly ... the best time of my life.

Who am I kiddin' - I'm on Fire !
