You and I have so many similar fears and I guess it does boil down to control. A fellow friend (and blogger) just wrote about how we really don't have the control we think we have, so why not give it up, we have nothing to loose. I would like to get there, but I would loose my sense of safety, and that it huge for me.<BR/><BR/>Oh, as for public speaking, I am so with you on that. I HATE IT!! Took a class for it in college and almost died getting through it.
