Fear delivered on a Silver Platter

Right before I left Indy, I was emailing with my best friend about the lives we live and the decisions we make. And in the midst of all the chatter, I said to her, "We'll never have an extraordinary life story without doing things that genuinely scare us."

I'd heard people say things like that before, but I'd never truly understood the power in fear. I know with adventure comes fear, and with fear comes growth. All things new tend to mean having to risk all that you know, for a chance to experience life and to become the person you grew up imagining.

Moving to SF placed a fear so giant in me that I almost turned it down, but in the end (obviously) took on the challenge. So far, so good.

We'll see how it goes! Bring on the adventure.
