Fear will do it everytime. Judging from "Unveiled," however, you have overcome it! So nice to read your great work! Love, carolyn

Fear is the great paralyzer. Bravery isn't the absence of fear, but the determination to act in the face of it. Nice piece here, Shannon! Donna

interesting idea. elegant in it's simplicity. well done. I wonder what the alternative motivation would be, instead of holding you back it would keep you moving forward. -Yoni
