Day of Courage

I am in love with Jill Bodonsky's Book " The Awe Manac". It gives you day by day permission to be silly but in that silliness there is a bit of truth. Today October 11 is a day of courage.

Soul Vitamin of the Day tells me I gain strength and confidence by every experience when I stop and look fear in the face.

She knows me well. She knows that I am a fearful person. I try and overcome but it sneaks up inside of me and presents itself like a demon waiting to pounce.
Jill has a journal juju every day. I am going to take the time to journal everyday with Jill's journal juju.

Today I need to write a list of the tiniest steps of courage I could take in the next day, month or year. I am to visualize and feel 5 percent more courage in my body during moments of daydreaming.

My fear to conquer today is driving in the dark. It must be an old lady thing. I never had problems driving in the dark when I was younger. The dark held moments of romance and quietness and peace. So I have been invited to go out into the night tonight and drive a distance. I shall conquer my fear. Be here tomorrow, same time, same place to see if I succeeded.

Until tomorrow. Life shinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. Anais Nin as printed in Awe Manac October 11.
