Worship What Is: I Done a Dive

Big, brave sploosh

Yesterday, despite huge fears, I asked a friend for help and faced my fears by diving into the pond with her. Twice. I took it on the thighs each time. I have thighs like barricades, though, so that was okay.

Today, I done it again. This time, I slipped in like a hot knife in butter, thighs all gentle. And I did it on my own. I've been TERRIFIED of this for such a long time (er... about 33 years). And now it's done, and every day it gets easier. I enjoyed it (both days). The very first time, I nearly cried - not from thigh-slap... just from being moved that something I'd made so shadow-big was so quickly done. I still had to leap the fear hurdle the second time, and again today, but the hurdles are getting lower (thanks, Lifeguard Jo, for the support and the hurdle story).

Today, in Frankfurt airport, a man bbrriiiipped at me. I had just made a pigeony yawn noise, which was long and sounded a bit like that. I was in a deserted bit of the airport and there were only a few people about. This man brriiipped first and then grinned all big before disappearing through a door. He was dressed a bit like Mr Benn, actually... ooh... I SO should have followed him.
And last night, I posted my 'please give me a CTI scholarship' video. Here it is.

Here's why, too:
I really want to help people find the thing they really want to do and the person they really want to be so they can enjoy kicking ass doing good and happy things for the rest of their lives - even... no... ESPECIALLY those people who don't believe it's possible for them.
