Have you ever been stopped by fear? I am not talking about healthy fear, as in, stay away from that foaming-at-the-mouth dog or don’t go down that dark alley. I’m talking about unwarranted fear.

Many of us have stories about the Northridge earthquake in 1994. Living in California, earthquakes are something you’ve got to learn to roll with. If you live in California, you know what I’m talking about. My daughter reminded me about part of our Northridge earthquake story that I had forgotten about. Monica was five years […]
