Doing something that you know you struggle with seems a little odd, right? Or perhaps it’s more scary, than odd. I came across this quote, which caught my eye, by Juan Williams who talks about and encourages us to come out of our own space.

I was asked to go and pick my son up at the railway station so that he could come home, having made a surprise 6-hour trip to see us for the weekend. It was dark, I would be driving on my own and …
