I actually have gotten some DVD's in the past....now I have to take them of the wrappers! As for success/risks and failures...don't think of the word failure, just rename it "learning experiences" and it won't seem so bad! You'll never know your full potential if you don't reach out and take a risk now and then. Best of luck to you, and I enjoyed reading your entry. Deb/Jersey Girl Thx for the comment on the yoga.

What we usually perceive as failures are just ways of learning what is right for us. Failure in itself is a dirty word, because it assumes a finality - I tried, and I failed, so I stopped. Life doesn't stop. Failure is only a problem in the context of your ego, and your ego is just a stuck up pain in the ass anyways. So the sooner you can learn to ignore its pitiful squeaks of protest, the better off you'll be! You know, the only real failure is giving up.

Love your advice, I do still have my fears and have no clue when I'll ever attempt to get over them. Of course I don't know how I would either. I'm fearful of small spaces, heights and bridges. lol. But I agree, the moment you can get past any fear it opens doors and sounds like you are just discovering some many doors opening up for you. Good luck in 2007. I too took part in the contest.

Perhaps you can win some of that cool swag they are giving away for the contest. As for being stuck in a rut, I am. Trying to work through it alot of personal pain from the rut too but if I can get out of it two people well hopefully benefit from it. Hey I like the idea of your site.
