what is fear?

[Shawnna]

There are two primary driving forces behind every human feeling or action; Fear or Love.

In Love, there is no room for Fear.

so is there anything that you fear, Shawnna?

No, not really.

In moments of weakness, I fear not being able to live up to my purpose; to reflect Love.

Honestly, I've never been truly tested.

That being said, within the last 12 months, I've been laid off (I was 59.5 years old at the time with no college degree), my only nephew overdosed at age 24 and his mom (my only sister and last living relative from my family of origin) died of liver failure after abusing alcohol and pills for years.  I started a new job last February.  This past week I've been involved in two auto accidents (no injuries) after not having anything on my driving record for decades) and yet, I am honestly simply looking for the purpose and reason behind it all.

While this past year has been the toughest in recent memory, I don't know that I'd qualify it as 'THE' toughest of my short life here on this beloved planet.

There are days when I feel I'm under assault but in general, I try to find the Life Lesson behind everything that occurs.



Is it difficult at times?  Oh my goodness, yes.

Would I change anything in my past - no, nothing.  It's all been Life Lessons that I've been blessed to experience.
