Thalassophobia is, in short, the fear of the sea, for being vast, dark, deep and dangerous. #FaceYourFears

When you dream of things you can not control, when you dream of things that haunt you, when you dream of those lost from you....and at the wrong time - a visitor comes. Just having fun, who knows, maybe he was just going to help her stand?!!!! ;)
Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift. – Mary Oliver
Like many people, particularly at this time of year, I am having a battle
with my bathroom scales!
This is a subject that is really personal to me and close to my heart.
Before I damaged my back I was fit and healthy, I used to ride (horses),
cycle to work and do yoga . I was always doing something. No more!
I still watch my weight (more by how things fit than constantly standing on
scales) and I eat healthily but I am fearful of getting on the scales at the
moment because my weight has been creeping up where I have been laid up. I
wasn't brave enough to remove the sticker!
This is a shot I've thought about for a while.

I decided that a year on flickr with no SPs I needed to be brave and take
myself far, far out of my comfort zone to do this. I have never been happy
in front of the camera even though I love being behind it, this means there
are never any photos of me when I need one! I cannot tell you what a major
leap this is, even if I am still hiding behind my camera .... one step at a
time I think!
Nacnud (Duncan) had a link to an Isley Brothers song Summer Breeze ... this one was on the playlist and made me smile when I heard it www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1DDgNCLD84&a=ouMBR6LxDcM&...
I admire people who have the confidence to do really good SPs. Kellyk09 is
amazing at them! Take a look :) www.flickr.com/photos/kak3/
Techinically it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be doing this. Using a
wide'ish aperture to get the light without flash it still rendered me out of
focus (I must have moved despite trying countless times not to) .....
actually its no bad thing having the soft focus because I have hardly any
make-up on ... believe me I need some! I had my hair done today and the
hairdresser (Tracy, she is SO lovely) curled it a little and its full of
bounce which is a nice change!
Another in my lady surfer series, this shot was just as she was contemplating where the best waves were.
Daytona doesn't get the large waves you see in Hawaii, but many of the world's top surfers have trained here.
Frieda Zamba, from Flagler, just north of Daytona, (www.jettygirl.com/features/frieda.zamba.html) and Bernie Crouch, whose love of surfing I knew of all the way back in the 1960's when we were in the same class, and who has long been famous for his surfboards, (www.surfmaddog.com/aboutus.html) are two well known area surf legends.
A friend of mine who surfs said that this girl is quite good, in addition to being a knockout! Perhaps one day she will be a surf legend, too!

Der Begriff Trauma ist schnell in aller Munde. Was sich jedoch tatsächlich hinter einem seelischen Trauma verbirgt und welche Folgen es haben kann, ist oft nicht wirklich bekannt. Die PTBS, die Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung, ist die bekannteste Diagnose nach traumatischen Ereignissen wie Unfällen oder Gewalterfahrungen. Die Symptome sind sehr typisch und können gut behandelt werden. Besonders Traumatisierungen, die sich wiederholt ereignen oder in der Kindheit erlebt werden wie zum Beispiel sexueller Missbrauch, können jedoch viele weitere Belastungen nach sich ziehen.
Zu diesem Thema hat www.takepart-media.de 3 Filme produziert und uns beauftragt diesen Animations Film zu machen, was uns grosse Freude bereitet hat.

183/365 Face your fears.
We all have a fear that many times we do not want to face, and that makes you not enjoy life 100%. Everyone should try to overcome our fears, despite everything.

Enfrentarte a tus miedos.
Todos tenemos un miedo al que muchas veces no nos queremos enfrentar, y eso hace que no puedas disfrutar la vida al 100%. Todos deberíamos intentar superar nuestros miedos, a pesar de todo.

TRP and Face the Fear
I think the message is clear, but what really scared me was, once I wanted to upload this shot I got this message:
Hold your clicks a moment please...
Flickr has the hiccups. We're looking into the problem right now.
Should I be panicking right now?

I have a lot of fear.
We all do.
It's only when we understand what our fears are that we can start to overcome them. The more fearful scenarios we understand/rise above in any way, the closer we get to removing that fear from our mind, and fear as a whole from ruling our lives. I have been looking at everything I do recently in my life as symbolic. If I find a problem I am facing that seems unbeatable, I will find similar, easier things that relate to it in my life, that I can see me beating, and I do it. This shows me that I can do those harder things in just this same way.
This will be the start of a set for me: 'Face Your Fears'. In each installment, I will challenge a fear by facing it in a symbolic way, and photograph the moment.
This first fear is a common one, combining many aspects, but all leading to one major fear. Fear of the dark, fear of abandoned places at night, fear of spooky areas, fear of being alone in a foreign place at night? They all boil down to one major fear. Fear of the unknown.
To face this fear last night, I went to a famous local place for various spooky urban legends (ghosts, insane asylums, KKK, oh my!) in my high school+ years. While the road was accessible by car then, the entire road has now been blocked off by cement barricades and gates, and the only way in to my photo spot at the 'slaughterhouse' is a 20-30 minute walk along a completely dark and abandoned blacktop road. The only light for this trip are the stars. The only sounds are the wind and local wildlife. The only company is your mind. This is where the fear begins and ends.
As I got closer to my destination (and also further from my only way out), the fear got stronger. The thought that I should turn back and give up ran through my mind, but I realized that that wouldn't dissipate any fear. The only way to dissipate even a bit was to follow through. With a lot of inner dialogue and thinking (as well as a few jump scares along the way) to keep me company, I finally saw the large, dark shape of the decaying building in my night sight. My fear grew. Then I arrived at the metal gates, and a blast of wind picked up in the large tree next to me. This was when my fear took steroids, and the option to give up became much more attractive.
Nevertheless, I climbed the gate, made my way across the dark field and into the 'slaughterhouse', where I snapped my shot. I Duddits!!
And wouldn't you know it, completely different than the spooky walk up that dark lonely road to this spot, my walk back along that same road was as carefree as could be, as I roamed casually back listening to music, with an interesting mix of relieved excitement and vigor that happens when you realized that you just faced a fear.
So Round 1 of Face Your Fear complete. A tiny portion of the great fear of the unknown has been chipped away: I faced my fear of the dark.. the big, dark, open, abandoned slaughterhouse on the dark, mysterious road littered with long lasting, creepy urban legend and ghost stories associated. The next time I find myself fearing the unknown and not wanting to go any more, I can remember this night.

a parody "face in hole" that compliments a wise and observant quote:
"It's not the fall that will kill you;
It's that sudden stop at the end."
I'm not sure how great of a job Smarty is doing at facing her fears but she sure is facing this spider :D
