Fear
It is easy to pretend to be fearless, to be brave in all situations, to be invincible- but we all have something that scares the SHIT out of us.

As I get older my “fear list” has changed. When I was younger my list was simple, things like spiders, roller coasters, heights, and oddly enough losing my teeth.
losing teeth SCARY
fear of heights…
Now my fears are more serious- grown up stuff-complex- I realize that to have fear, the scary kind, you have to care about something, you have fear because something matters to you. I try and manage my fear but it is not easy, yoga is helpful, just have to practice more often.
My top 5 fears, in no particular order:
1. My children. My daughter lives in NYC, and I can’t help but to worry about her, especially at night. My son-17 year-old African-American boy-enough said…
Gigi’s son
2. My well-being. With 4 of my immediate family members having cancer-it is something that is on my mind. I try to do the “right” things, but I know that Cancer sometimes has no rhyme or reason, so I just do the best I can to take care of my health and carefully choose what I put in my body.
3. My husband. We are at the age where stuff happens…so I can’t help sometimes to think about the “what if” s.
4. Losing my teeth.
5. Earthquakes-they scare the Shit out of me…just recovering from the one we had a few months ago.

What are you afraid of? And how do you deal with your fear?
