SHOPKEEPER BIO


Wisdom to wear; wisdom to share from the author of Embracing Fear.
Nashville, Tennessee

Personal growth is hard work. There is no reason we shouldn't have some fun along the way. My "nutshells" are a way of simplifying practical wisdom for my clients and readers. Nutshell Wisdom on these shirts, mugs, etc is an especially fun way to share these little nuggets.

DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE FROM FEAR. Understand that independence does not mean the absence of fear. It means that you become capable of living in peace with your fears. When you no longer have the need to hide from, get rid of, or ignore your fears, you will be living a life that is instructed, but not controlled, by fear. Have fear, acknowledge fear, listen to fear, learn from fear, and never let fear do your thinking for you. Always remember that it is how we live, not that we live that matters most. - Thom Rutledge, author of Embracing Fear
