Countdown to Courage

What would you do if you weren't afraid? The core premise of Countdown to Courage centers on how we acquire the coping skills essential for navigating life's challenges. Those twists and turns are common to each of us, as are the fears that go with them. Courage means conjuring up the willpower to do something that frightens us. It means believing how resilient we are when venturing out into unfamiliar territory. It means finding the moral strength to persevere. It means confronting emotional pain, uncertainty, and intimidation-instead of dismissing them. Courage is being true to ourselves by being ourselves unapologetically. Courage is learning to develop resistance to fear. Stepping out of our comfort zones while we grapple with fear is a difficult challenge, but it all begins by taking that first step. The first step is the hardest. Countdown to Courage is an engaging and relatable philosophical book of prose and poetry. It explores what it means to live authentically with mindfulness and self- awareness in the moment. Leaving the grievances of the past behind allows us to embrace the future with renewed purpose, perspective, and positivity. Readers will likely see pieces of their own lives reflected in these poems. The author has also included a chapter that celebrates aging with a wink and a nod.
