At an early age I saw a challenge I couldn't resist: Walking the post that surrounded my mom's rose garden. Imagine round vertical posts steps set up in a half moon with the tallest post in the middle and the shortest posts at the ends. On one side of the wall of post is sedum with lots of bees and on the other prickly rose bushes with fragrant colorful flowers.
It became part of my adventures around the acres surrounding my parents house. The post were a narrow bridge that connected two kingdoms and if I fell to either side I could become hurt. If I lost balance, I always fell towards the rose bushes narrowing escaping deep gouges in my skin. The minor scrapes sure beat shot in the arm for my allergies to bees stings.
Over time it came to a point of how fast I could conquer or what could I balance in my hands on the uneven row of posts.
What I learned during these challenges was to face my fears, be creative in applied thought, to accept adventures that come your way and take away learnings you can utilize in the future.
