I leaned forward and tried to breathe normally, hoping the air might somehow stop the panic that mixed with adrenaline in my stomach and crawled out to my fingers to make them tremble. I’d been doing so well leading up to the presentation, my first public speaking engagement. The talk I was about to give was called Fear Warrior Boot …
Conflict. Even the word can make anxiety stir in my belly. It took me a long time to realize and admit that I fear conflict, probably because I don’t tend to run from conflict when it’s necessary. But I realized after noting the rapid pace of my pulse, shallowness of breath, and massive doses of adrenaline pumping through my veins …
I chuckled at the funny story my friend told me, a story of being in a new situation and saying something that unintentionally garnered laughter at her expense. My friend told me this story for a laugh, but then she admitted she wasn’t ready to laugh at it yet herself. I could relate. In fact, I don’t think I’m ever …

In the worst cases, like the one I’m reflecting on now, they leave with the decision to quit writing altogether. Such a severe response to criticism, …

I winced as I stood up. The muscle in my back had been bothering me for two weeks, fluctuating between mildly uncomfortable and gasp-out-loud painful. My physical therapist brother decided take pity on me and offered to take a look. The painful muscle was on my back, but my brother, operating on his greater knowledge, started treatment on the front …
He spit in my face. Twice. As a long-time volunteer at our local zoo, I had interacted with the llamas many times. A zookeeper had shown me how to properly greet Jackson, the male, and Ellen, the female. When greeting one another, llamas march well past a healthy sense of personal space and stand face-to-face. They blow smooth puffs of …
