My Deepest Fear

Posted on by A Girl

If you follow me on Facebook you have heard me reference my “bestie.”  She happens to be another blogger, a USMC spouse (once a wife always a wife, if once a Marine, always a Marine, right?), and my soul mate.  My husband understands this and finds us utterly ridiculous.  She is a talented woman and very honest and insightful.  She wrote a post about fear.  And she shared her greatest fear with so much bravery that I was inspired. I have plenty of phobias in this world.  I have a paralyzing fear of clowns.  It is known as coulrophobia.  I once froze in a haunted house and began to cry and the person who ushers people through had to ask the clown to leave the area so I could continue.  And while I actually enjoy going to haunted houses (I’m saying the words knowing that is a lie.  And it’s Continue reading My Deepest Fear→

I’d like to introduce to you Allie, a fabulous blogger and fellow Dr. Who nerd.  She blogs over at My Marine and Me.  Please check out her blog and thank her for writing such a wonderfully honest post for me.  She told me she was inspired by my posts about my fears and I feel very honored that she would share her fears with my readers. *** I have seen a lot of bloggers discuss their fears lately and quite frankly, it impresses the heck out of me! To write about something that scares you is extremely personal and gives readers a big look into who you are as a person. For a lot of blogs it is easy to forget there is a person sitting at a computer and actually writing it, and that can be for many reasons. Whether their blog is overrun with reviews and give aways and Continue reading Guest Post: Fear→
