Bravery — NOT Bravado
Bravado is (per Oxford Dictionary) “a bold manner or a show of boldness intended to impress or intimidate.” Bravery has been an emotion in my world many times. It takes bravery to live in tornado country. It takes bravery to stand alone. It takes bravery to walk into a crowded room filled with high profile…
TAKE Courage

I’ve Got the Eye of the Tiger…..Roaring Like a Lion
