I picked up a little green book at the bookstore yesterday, called Brave Enough. Maybe you’ve read it? It’s author is one of my favorites – Cheryl Strayed. She is one of those unique souls who, without meaning to, speaks words that touch hearts and minds of thousands of people. Those people have a special connection to the universe – a hotline, if you will – that allows them to channel the sentiments that her readers and listeners need to hear exactly when they need to hear them.
