I think that fear keeps a lot of us from doing things. Thank you for being that voice and inspiration to get me to put my fear in the closet!

I also really, really, enjoyed Daring Greatly by Brene Brown. Oh, and I think it's *brilliant* that you bought the stuffed animal to symbolize your fear. I like it, I really like it!Amy Warntzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07449813200426432125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7112012300274809736.post-60588489214351262572016-03-21T18:03:31.891-05:002016-03-21T18:03:31.891-05:00This one is at the top of my summer reading list -...This one is at the top of my summer reading list - cannot wait!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626451110946889157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7112012300274809736.post-1129234657295133072016-03-21T18:03:28.416-05:002016-03-21T18:03:28.416-05:00This one is at the top of my summer reading list -...This one is at the top of my summer reading list - cannot wait!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626451110946889157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7112012300274809736.post-46836891215754861082016-03-21T14:13:38.807-05:002016-03-21T14:13:38.807-05:00Michelle Haseltine just put this book on her touch...Michelle Haseltine just put this book on her touchstone list.

Fear is inspiring - it pushes us to our deep feelings and thoughts, but you are right that it cannot stop us.

I have one too. Mine is Fear from the movie "Inside Out". Another good book that reminded me of "Big Magic" is Rob Bell's new book, "How to Be Here".
