Not better, just different
Humans tend to have a distinct need to rank things and determine who or what is bigger, faster, richer, thinner, prettier. Even kids do this – just watc

I could go on ad nauseum on this last thought, so let me focus here. From the research I’m currently doing for my new book, A Different Kind of Courage, I have come to realize that there is a very specific set of traits, typically female, that propel courageous acts.

I’m thinking all of you have had a similar experience somewhere in your lives. Holidays, health issues, travel – they all played a part. Still, the longer we stay away, the harder it is to get back in the saddle and the more embarrassing it becomes.
So, enough self-flagellation. Time to find my courage. I am back in the saddle and I will be here on my regular basis. And it feels good to be back!
