4.) Open letter to a celebrity.
5.) Oprah says we all have a story. If you were on her show, what would your story be? What would you be talking about? What advice would she give you? Write about it and provide a snippet of your interview together.


Number 1: Childhood fears you've taken into adulthood.

• fear of spiders
• fear of bugs
• fear of large groups-where I don't know anybody but am expected to "mingle".
• fear of scary movies--even Dracula is too much for me.
• fear of miller moths
• fear of anything that has more than four legs really
• fear of looking like a fool in front of everyone--a la middle school and high school.
• fear that 'they' are talking about me
• sometimes I can even spook myself in the dark.
• fear of public speaking

These are the fears left over from childhood.  I'm not even going to go into the ones I have developed since "growing up".  What are you still afraid of that you were afraid of as a child?

P.S.  The bank said yes so we get to go get the camper this weekend.  Pictures next week.
