a year of "living dangerously"

Yes I know it is the title of a novel and a movie. But the title was taken from the famous Italian phrase vivere pericolosamente, meaning "living dangerously". So I think I will adopt it as my motto as well. As this year unfolds, it seems to be all about doing and experiencing things that I never have in the past. I am overcoming fears and obstacles in so many areas, not just health. Losing weight and becoming more healthy has uncovered a strength I didn't know I had. It has uncovered a confidence I didn't know I posessed.

So far this year, the woman who was afraid to swim with the dolphins has gone sailing in the San Francisco Bay, the woman who is terrified of heights has done a zip-line obstacle course, and the woman who only ran if she was being chased will be participating in a half marathon. Who knows what other battles I will fight and win as the year rolls on! Viva for vivere pericolosamente!
