Doing something that we know we may struggle with, seems a little odd, right? More scary than odd. I have already written a blog about exploring our boundaries and embarking on a journey, which continually challenges us, as far as comfort zones are concerned.

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 …
