Courage is not the absence of fear, nor is strength the absence of weakness. Courage and strength are showing up every time, ready or not, and just taking on the challenge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was thinking about this on my way to work this morning: how often I was fearful of challenges ahead and yet still showed up and took them on.

Back in the early days, when the first immigrants left their homeland in search of a better life, they too, no doubt, had a destination in mind.
