Interesting set of fears. We all have our specific set. I read something recently that help me rethink fear: (something along these lines) --- when fear is acknowledged and addressed, then removed, confidence takes up residence where fear once resided.
The naming of some 'other' gives us power over that 'other'. In naming our fears we can choose to use the power of that action to be the first step toward taming those fears.
You GO, girl! :)
