Two subjects I think about a lot are cystic fibrosis and fear.
I know the exact point CF became a disease of fear for me. That story is sitting in my blog’s “drafts” folder. I haven’t been able to finish it.
Before that tipping point in my life, I faced down this disease with the bold confidence of youth. After that moment was a life fearing what I had to lose.
So, it was with jaw hanging open that I started reading a new online magazine called fear.less. To quote Rene Zellweger in Jerry Maguire, “you had me at ‘Hello,”” which for me was the title.
A magazine about facing fear head on? How many CF warriors and warrior parents can you see in their upcoming pages? I plan on emailing fear.less with a few suggestions.
Here’s the link, http://fearlessstories.com/. Tonight, I applaud the fear.less creators for telling the stories of people who have “miles to go before they sleep.” I can’t wait to add their stories to the CF stories I read every day.

I’ll be repurposing an essay I wrote this year for them and see if that gets me the cover article. Time to down load some issues and see what the style/nature/audience is.
Very cool. That’s great. They only have one issue so far. But they do have a blog, too. I sent them an email on Friday and they replied on Saturday. Let me know how it goes. I’m curious.
