The Courage to Speak

Sometimes, the most difficult challenge one faces is the courage to speak.  I found Kristen to be a very inspirational person.  People like her are the reason I train.  When a restrained voice sees what I’m able to accomplish through martial arts, it helps them to find the courage to speak as Kristen did.  Below is an excerpt from her post, “Falling Through The Cracks”.

The other day I lay down and cried. I didn’t know what to do. I felt like I’d played every card I had. My hand was empty. I only have one thing left that I know to use. I have a voice.
