This Courage Catcher was inspired by a project done in a Girl Scout Troop and was designed to help me consider the anxiety and hesitation that might be holding me back, and allow me to harness the courage needed to move forward and be thoughtful and decisive in certain situations. Along the way, I discovered that my courage catcher, which had previously been used in other areas of life, had been wounded—not in any catastrophic way, but like dings on a car bumper that stand out as emblems of experience.
