If I have to do some things afraid, then so be it. As long as I do it. I won't let it get the best of me. I use fear as fuel to take me where I want to go.

Once we put it out there though it does tend to lose some of it's impact. Fear gains its power when we allow it to lurk in our brains like a bad headache. Managing fear is tough.

She lost her battle with cancer on Tuesday, June 23rd. We remember her as the physician on an isolated South Pole research station who upon suspecting that she had breast cancer, performed her own biopsy and then treated herself. Dr. Nielsen would go on to write a memoir and through her motivational speaking became an advocate for cancer patients. We lost another fearless woman this week, Dr. Jerri Nielsen.
