74. Social Media Detox Challenge

69. Creating a Courageous Legacy
This week, I want to tackle the word courage. So a lot of you might be under the impression that the word courage is a noun. In fact, in the dictionary, it is described as the ability to do something that frightens us or strength in the face of pain or grief. I want to challenge us to say that courage is actually an adverb. It's not something that you're born with. It's not something that just comes naturally to some and is not attainable for others.
