We all have fears.  Some we don’t even realize and others that we have carried all our lives.  I recently had the opportunity to be inside of an old fire station that was turned into a home.  I was like a little kid looking at the poles that Firefighter’s used to slide down.  I wanted to do it so badly! When Lisa was done Ghost hunting, the building I was told that I could actually do it.

I ran up the spiral stairs and over to the pole, and then it happened. I looked down and froze.  It was at this moment I came to the realization that I had a fear of heights. The ceilings were unusually high, which made my “fall” incredibly far.  My legs went weak, and in seconds had a rush of weakness, embarrassment, and yes…feeling older.  What happened to the kid running up the stairs? Where was my courage? On top of it all, Lisa was at the bottom with a group of people waiting to film it. UGH!!!

I had to find a way.

There was a pole that was next to this one that was closed up, so I kept climbing that one testing my strength-how it would feel. All of these doubts!!!

This incredibly kind man was upstairs with me, telling me (for what seemed like forever) that I could do it.  All I could think of was how muscular he was, and compared myself to him.  This is what we do in moments of fear and it’s ALL false!

After first leaning my upper body against this pole, and then a leg wrapped around it, I thought I would have to walk away.  Finally, Lisa said “What would you say to all the people in Australia  at our Bliss Event that need to believe?” I looked at my dude standing next to me, and he winked and said once more “You can do it”.  It was within seconds that I jumped on that damn pole and scooted all the way down!

I found my courage.

There really isn’t much I wouldn’t do to help or inspire someone.  This is exactly why I set Love as my intention always, because in those times when loving myself isn’t enough to see me through a challenge, loving others is always more that enough.

Love will give you the courage!!!

Love is my intention-
