The medical establishment said I wouldn't live past 30, so I learned to live fast and furious very early on, burning my candle at both ends as they say. Now I'm 50 and the FDA has approved a treatment that will let me live a whole lot longer without suddenly dying by asphyxiation. I'm one happy faerie loving witch, I am, but I've lived with that fear for 50 years. The fear alone could have killed me. How did I cope? Accepting fear and taking it along with you for the ride robs it of its power. Fear is a necessary and healthy emotion, in its place. It makes your heart beat really hard, which can actually add to the fun of certain experiences (like skiing -- a little extra adrenalin rush today, miss?), but it won't actually kill you. You don't want to banish it entirely; just keep it in the trunk for emergencies (and as a gas additive for us rush junkies). That's what I call junk in the trunk! Faerie blessings, Kat Good for you, BareFootKitchenWitch!
