Little knows things...

When I lived in NYC, I had the need to have some help dealing with various things. I had been in therapy, already for years ( since I was about 15!) I had lost my darling brother (John), I made a bad marriage decision and that ended in a divorce and I had also had a very violent end to a relationship that just about killed me. I needed some help with direction. Don’t laugh but I am a Tony Robbins person. When in NYC, I read all of the books. I remember sitting in Central Park, in the sun, picnic like, reading and feeling empowered and hopeful. I so needed support but the only place I was going to get it was in a book. My parents were in NO WAY supportive. They were mostly angry with me about my choices…My mother had hoped for an easy slide into being a grandparent and had not expected to have to deal with a daughter that was taking a road that was different than her expectations.

My mother had started me in therapy when I was about 14. …but that is another story.

Anyway, when I discovered Tony Robbins, one of the things that you are encouraged to do ( from the book) was to do something that you are afraid of…could be anything..,.for every person it would be different….For me, I decided I would try to conquer my fear of flying. 

I booked a flight on a helicopter on the west side of NYC that takes tourists over NYC, down the west side, around the Statue of Liberty and back up the west side. I can’t remember BECAUSE…the pilot was a Vietnam vet and liked to take the helo and dive straight downwards like we were crashing, as a joke. I remember nothing else but that!

So, now we have this poor poor family that went down in a helicopter over the East river. …and I can imagine what it might have been like. What a nightmare…

Although I was able to get through the fear to take the one flight…I am not so sure I am cured of my fear of flying. 

Their whole horrible story brought the memory of it back to me. Helicopters…I think NOT.uu

I would add that I am still 100% behind what Tony Robbins believes....his teachings...his books...I needed and still need that in my life...positivity and energy...I love it.

Did you know I walked on hot coals?...I did!...another story.
