Some people see my logo and immediately rattle off
"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." 
I would change evil to fear. 

Not the kind of fear that keeps you from jumping out of an airplane without a parachute.
The other kind of fear 
the one that keeps you safe ...
keeps you comfortable and content ...
never stretching your boundaries and finding out what you can do. 
 
You won't die. 
You might stammer a little, have some heart palpitations 
and then walk out a stronger person. 
If it isn't a raging success, you'll cry in your beer, dust yourself off, and give it another go. 
The next time you'll be smarter and more wily. 

The tabs are connected to different parts of my life where I've scared myself many, many times. 
I look forward to staring fear in the face again very soon, 
shaking in my boots for a moment, and then kicking it aside. 
Join me!

​p.s. The logo is about communication. ;)
