Did you bristle — “not me!” Did you analyze? “All of us — really, Diane.” Did you get angry? “What is this clickbait?” No matter your reaction, there are a few universal truths we all deal with differently. Fear is real. Fear manifests in different ways. Fear shows up in all of us at one time or another. Terror is when fear stops us from doing what we want to do.

Hello Carson City! I’ve been a little out of pocket since Burning Man. I have three sicknesses just pile on: playa lung, a head cold, and I wrapped the whole thing up with bronchitis.
