Fear latches onto some uncertainties more than others, and I need to remind myself that we never get complete certainty as human beings, but it is possible to keep living.
That is so true Margaret… uncertainties are part of life. It is often the fear of fear that paralyzes us. Not only is it possible to keep living but in fact we will keep living. Our choice is in what path we choose to take- fear based or to move through our uncertainties and take that leap of faith. Thank you!
