Fearless - (adj.) free from fear
Wow, three days without a post at Forward — where did we all go?? Well, it’s summer and everyone has a lot going on, and I was personally lucky enough to spend the past weekend in San Jose, Calif., at the BlogHer conference. (Despite internet issues, I had a GREAT time and got to hang out with some really wonderful people.)
I won’t go into all the conference happenings, but I did have one little tidbit that struck a chord with me that I wanted to share with everyone. The closing keynote for the conference featured a panel of “four powerhouse women: Hurricane Katrina Direct Relief founder and professional blogger Grace Davis, Huffington Post founder and author Arianna Huffington, WashingtonPost.com/Newsweek Interactive CEO and Publisher Caroline Little and SixApart founder and President Mena Trott.” (I suggest following the links and familiarizing yourself with these diverse and amazing women, if you haven’t already.)
I found the entire keynote to be fascinating, but was particularly inspired by the discussion toward the end. I can’t remember how it took this path, but the women ended up talking about fear and fearlessness.
