INSPIRATION FOR FEAR AND OVERCOMING IT

How many of us feel afraid often!?  But, once you overcome your fears, you feel such a sense of achievement and I know I then feel like I can conquer anything... A couple of weeks ago, my 5 year old learnt to keep himself afloat in the pool with a floating device.  He felt so proud of himself.  I was going on a business trip last week and got a gut feeling that it was time to set him free of his floating device and teach him to swim without it.  I took him into the water (with him clutching to my neck, he was petrified).  I took his arms off me and threw him into the water - and he swam!  Doggy paddle of course, but he was soooooooo proud of himself and I could just feel his sense of achievement and that he had overcome his fear - now I can't keep him out of the water! 

DON'T ALLOW FEAR TO HOLD YOU BACK!

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS, 2011

For years, I have not set any New Years Resolutions, simply because I set myself unrealistic resolutions which I cannot keep.  For 2011 I decided to write down a list of realistic goals that I would like to achieve.  I put them onto my computer for each day of the year.  Next to each one, I put a yes and no and it is inspiring me to stick to it so far..............  the year has a long way to go!  But, somehow by recording it, I feel like I will stick to these goals.  Hope you all have a blessed 2011.
