Facing my fear of LaCrosse
I have to admit something to you, because they say that is the first step. The first step in what? I don’t know. But I’m sure it’s important. So here goes:
I have a fear of Lacrosse. Actually not of the sport itself, but of trying to say something relevant and meaningful about it, because all I know about Lacrosse is that it is a sport. (I’m not even sure if I should be capitalizing it like I am.)
Since I’m trying to work plugs for my fellow blogathoners into each of my posts before the month is out, I knew I needed to say something.
Needless to say, I’ve been dreading this one a little. But after finally visiting Barb Adamski’s Lacrosse Blog, I can say this:
Those pictures she links to are really, REALLY cool. And the YouTube video she posted on May 9 (can’t seem to directly link to it) gives me the impression this is a high-energy sport of the kind that leaves moms like me thinking, “With all those sticks swinging around somebody’s bound to get hurt.”
The music in the video is pretty awesome too.
So there you have it. I no longer need to worry about Lacrosse. Thanks, Barb, for helping me stare down that fear.

I have a fear of getting whacked in the face with a lacrosse stick. Yep, that’s my first step . . . I have no intension of overcoming this fear anytime soon. LOL

Lacrosse is supposed to be Canada’s national sport - not hockey. Unfortunately, I know very, very little about it. Good thing Barb’s blog is on my list of places to visit….
