Summary:

Sometimes you hear about those people who have a theme that weaves through their lives. Shelly Francis is one of those people and her theme is courage. Each step of her journey has asked for courage in one way or another and it gave her the curiosity to further research and write a book on the subject.  Her latest venture, Creative Courage Press, is named after one of the “Big Ideas” she discovered while researching courage.
