“I knew that if I allowed fear to overtake me, my journey was doomed. Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave. Nothing could vanquish me.”

baby steps!

today we went surfing again at gnarabup (boatramps) it was really small so it was a good day for me to go, it was easier to get in and there was less seaweed so that was a good start! so i paddled out, it was a bit hard to stay on my board it was like pretty wobbly but a few waves came and i went over them no problem, but then one came and broke right on my head and i fell off the board and it just scared the shit out of me! i paddled in and was standing on the beach shaking trying to pull it together haha. i put the board down and decided that i still need to go to redgate a few more times, play in the whitewash and get used to being thrown around by the waves and just get used to swimming in them. i think a big part of it for me is that i can't really go underwater without plugging my nose haha i know, so lame. but i'm working on it! tomorrow when we go to yoga its right by the beach so we're going to go for a surf after and i might just swim around and then after i'm going to go to redgate and practice. i'm not giving up! just need to get used to the water :) our friend rick came with us today so i felt better that bry wasn't in the water by herself after i got out haha rick lives in gnarabup, makes surf helmets as a business and surfs and swims twice a day at the beach. he knows his stuff! it's very cool. 

for the rest of the day, i'm going to garden, go for a run and then go out for dinner i think. then just come home and get everything ready for 6am yoga tomorrowwww! obviously not taking my car because of the lights lol so lame. pretty sure i'm going to buy a new car when i get a few paychecks. i can't deal with that thing anymore haha it's just too big! 

on the way home from the beach we saw a field of kangaroos and we stopped to take some photos! when they are laying down, they kind of just look like deer lol but i saw a few jump around and one mama had a baby joey in her pouch! baaaah it was so cute!

anyways, i'm going to take advantage of the sunshine and go do some things outside :)
