What was the biggest adventure of your past year?

There are a lot of things in the world that I am afraid of, and during 2008 I faced a lot of those fears and it was a very liberating feeling. I was terrified by the thought of a committed relationship becuase of all the pain that I had seen failed relationships bring friends and family members. But when I found a loving and compassionate man, I decidded to put aside my fears and we have been together now for 6 months. I also used to be horribly afraid of public speaking, but after being elected vice president of my sorority, I was forced to speak in front of large groups of people. At first it was very challenging, but I have become increasingly more comfortable with it. I also got over my fear of airplanes and heights simply by just facing them and toughing it out. It is freeing to eliminate these fears in my life and I hope in 2009 I can keep pushing the limits!
