Not to be dramatic, but my worst fear is being in water. It’s not rational, and it’s a fear that has developed in my adult years, but it’s real. I decided that for my 35th birthday it was time to tackle my fear and go snorkeling in December! That’s right – not just being in water, but being freezing cold too. Almost turned back several times. Enjoy my misery!
