As to getting over fears, as a young girl I was afraid to go into places by myself. I didn't like being afraid and so one summer when I was about 12, my mother drove my siblings and I to visit our grandparents some 500 miles away. I told my mother before we started the trip that if there was a need to stop and ask for directions or to purchase items etc., that I wanted to be the one to do it by myself. By the end of that trip I was no longer afraid to go into places by myself. Of course, I think the hardest part of overcoming any fear is to want to overcome it. Having said that I have a few that I have yet to conquer: Spiders Bugs of ANY kind Open heights My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I was a shy kid, but managed to overcome that, still can be a little shy at times though My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
