Just when you think a problem is too big.

Just when you assume generosity doesn’t pay off.

Just when you stop acting because of fear.

    Wow! What a great video, with three great lead in questions (although I don’t know how comfortable I’d be with letting “the king of the African jungle” hug and kiss me like that). I suppose that’s the fear thing!

    Thank you. You have made me really start to reflect on what it is I DON’T do because of fear. I know I’m missing out on many opportunites to “be generous” because I’m afraid.

    Good Post April!

    I liked it too! Amazing I thought. Then I thought about it a little more (it really stuck with me) and realized it made quite a statement.

    But, I agree with you – great metaphor – not necessarily going to follow it out literally :)

    So, the lesson is: “sometimes you just have to look fear in the face – and let it give you a big old kiss!” !!!!

    Hey April
    I wanted to let you know that you’ve been tagged for a meme asking you to tell 7 facts about yourself. I hope you have fun with it – I did!
