A Note from the Publisher of BRAVE
We all begin life bravely—brave to be born, to take our first steps and go to school for the first time. Bravery happens at all ages and on many levels. To some, being brave is as simple as getting out of bed in the morning, braving a crowd of people or hosting a party.
Most, however, use the word brave to describe someone facing great danger or challenges — to bravely go to war, run into a burning building, serve and protect, face a debilitating illness, or accept death.
There is life-changing bravery: the bravery that gives one the strength to change jobs, start a business, move to a new city or get divorced. It takes bravery to change oneself.
This magazine is about being brave in life.
