Courage is not the absence of fear…

I mean, at this point, even her eyes are closed. It almost looks like a Norman Rockwell painting. I think it's just amazing. And it got me to thinking about posting it here on Swell, and I wanted to, I guess, ask the question, when was the time that you were courageous? I'm sure we've all had moments like that where we overcame some kind of fear. Fear of heights or fear of public speaking

I was like and then, and then I just there's just a moment where I was like, okay, I'm going to fall. I will fall, that's fine, but I'm going to try my best not to fall. I'm going to use what I learned and I'm going to push through it. And I remember that first little stretch of road that I managed to bike by myself and I was so happy. I was so proud and I wasn't scared of falling anymore

Wren I heard your response, and I've got a desperate fear of heights. I don't know why. I'm really just terrified of heights. And I remember when I was young, I think we were about ten or eleven, a bunch of friends of mine and I went to an amusement park. It's called astro World. And at the time, the main roller coaster was called the Texas Cyclone

@aBirdieOnaWire First day as a Casino Croupier

I was afraid that I was going to make a mistake, that I would forget the math, that I would deal the cards wrong, that the customers would hate me. And ironically, something bad did happen which had nothing to do with me. I had an aggressive, punter customer on the table and he started slamming his fist down and swearing and yelling. And because I was a brand new croupier at the young age of 22, I didn't know this wasn't on

Wow. That was an amazing story, Georgie. Thanks for sharing. That was really cool. I guess I never really thought about how a car dealer would have their first time, you know, at the table, you know, going live, live. So to say, I've been to Vegas a handful of times, maybe, I don't know, five or ten times in my lifetime

Is the time in your life that you have acted with courage? I would say so many. Honestly. I am a skydiver, so it's tempting to tell a story from that. I think what I'll share on in this is a time in my life where I had been desiring and aching for a solo cross country road trip. And many people said to me, oh, you can't do that as a woman, or here's all the things that could go wrong

I love this. This should become a painting with your explanation on it.

And definitely, I think you should make this a painting with your reflection on it. I think it would be awesome. You can hang it right here in Nas Mocha in my town. I think it would work very well. So there's an idea for you. You could make the painting, sell it, make some money, and I would definitely go see it. So that's the idea for me. But yeah. Thank you. Have a wonderful day
