My three-old daughter and I were having a little game of soccer with my young cousin and my younger sister. My daughter was about to kick the ball, and it looked as if she was going to kick it real hard at me. I told her kick gently as I was afraid (playfully). Her response, in absolute confidence was, and i quote: "Don't be scared mummy; Just get ready". Her words left me speechless. What she said to me meant so much, as if she had been with me, watching me grow in fear of so many things, including relationships, decision -making, my career path...what's a life lived in fear of getting hurt or dying?

I just thought that I'd share this.
