Author Description

In these essays, we explore a variety of fears. The fear of bodily harm. The fear of irreparable loss. The fear of abandonment. The fear of death. The more we stand face to face with our fears and realistically evaluate their nature, the better we can cope even-handedly with our world. Every day is precious. Our world is always changing. There will always be unknowns. The more we can release worry and fear, and find gratitude for what we have, the more we can treasure each blessing in our life. “Do one thing every day that scares you.” - Eleanor Roosevelt The point is not to continually scare yourself. The point is to learn that you shouldn’t be afraid of those things in the first place.
