Thought for the Week

"Fear is a green light to go."

Often our fears keep us from doing something we really want to do. For example, a Bridges student said to me, "I've always wanted to sing in front of people, but I have always been too scared to." Do not let your fears keep you from doing what you really want to do. Use your fears as a green light to go for your dreams!

Have a FANTASTIC week!
