I know you can do it. You a strong and capable. Yes, driving in the snow can be scary and it can be fun! So yes, get out there, take a friend who you trust and will totally support you. We are all pulling for you!

Hello Pianogirl,
Face your fears and do it anyway right? It's harder that it sounds though and I do feel for you. One step at a time I guess.
Focus on a goal, something you want to achieve, perhaps taking your children to somewhere special. Then work on the program with this goal in mind. You will get there, I know you will.

Congratulations on your accomplishment, J.Good. Keep praising yourself for it, as we do.

This week I must go on the freeway. The big thing for me is not to think about it and develop a cloud of anxiety. On the day, I'll go out there with, "I've done it before and can do it again." Self talk in the program.

As to someone with me, I actually prefer being alone because then I can give my full attention to the road. No distractions. Just some thoughts for you and reminders for me.
