Happy Hump Day, all. I hope you’re making the most of it, if you get my rather lame drift.

I’m a fairly fearless broad, meaning I’ve traversed some bumpy roads in my life, while rarely shying away from a challenge. But, like everyone, I have my anxiety-spiking phobias. For example, me and high places don’t get along. I refuse to drive on expressways because I’m terrified of getting lost. And I still haven’t “saved a date” for cataract surgery as the mere notion turns my blood cold.

That said, I was amazed and inspired by the following story by Kim McKinney. With grace and candor, she shares her realization that aging has helped her overcome some pretty significant fears by facing them head-on.

I suppose even “avoidance” gets old. Pun intended.

If you’re short on inspiration today, or have a few fears of your own that you’d like to quash, please take a few moments to read Kim’s story.
