"In praise of the close call" Nothing clarifies the mind and fixes the lesson into it quite as well as a jolt of fear-caused adrenaline. I have always felt that our "original sin" is that we so often have to learn things "the hard way" for those lessons to stick.
Heather, as I started this, I again went to the thought - what is "safe"- but near the edge for one is mother's milk for others, but, you got me here. These gals ended up well off the safe scale by happenstance.
It is a little like that adage " a mind streched by a new experience can never goes back to the same shape" They (and you) have been pretty close to the edge.
Thank you for sharing this excerpt and congratulations to both your and Bret on the one year anniversary of the release of the book!
