Fierce and brave

by Stacie Isabella Turk

Fierce: furiously eager or intense

Today someone called me fierce...(in a good way.)

Fierce is not how I see myself and brave is what I strive to be, but do not think I am on most days.

A friend wrote me this awhile back when the film, BRAVE, came out about a little long curly redheaded girl and I shared that I wished we had more in common than our hair.

Being brave is just feeling the fear and doing it anyway.
You have more of it than you know...you are a brave, brave girl.
Brave: possessing or exhibiting courage or courageous endurance, as in a warrior.
This is what SHE saw in me. Sometimes others are able to see the warrior, when she eludes us.

How do you define these in terms of yourself and your life?

Where in your life are you fierce?

How are you brave?
