mmm... was thinking this morning about what would happen if every time I started to say "I'm afraid..." and listed the bad things that could happen, I tried to switch that pattern of thinking and anticipate the beautiful things... this plays nicely into that... "only a person who risks is free" thanks for the reminder!
So true.
