You are not paying attention. I saw this posted on facebook recently and it struck me. See, I used to live “scared” all the time. Scared of abuse, violence, yelling, fighting. Scared of loneliness, homelessness and poverty. I know what it feels like to wake up scared. For me I can pay attention and not be scared. I know what it feels like to be scared to “do” or “say” anything. I need to pay attention...

So I have been working on this challenge 5 days now; thought I’d share what happened to me while in San Diego. The book concept is actually coming along! Wednesday night I sat in the bar at the Hilton San Diego with the intent of having a drink and READING, yes reading, my book!
