“My fear traveled alongside me as an almost constant companion. It caused me to doubt myself all the time, to hesitate, to second-guess my decisions. Every day, I waged war against my mind and the fear that plagued it. I fought to live a life of my own choosing rather than a life dictated by fear and comfort. I fought the impulse to close, to numb, or to seek some form of escape. Every day, over and over, I chose to see, to stay open, to remain open.” FearCourageMindfulnessWomen EmpowermentWomen S FictionOpen HeartAdventure TravelMetaphysical FictionPath Less TraveledContemplative Practice Book:Stuck Wide Open Source: Stuck Wide Open
