“The secret to not being afraid is to understand what scares you”
Deborah Wiles, Countdown

“There are always scary things happening in the world. There are always wonderful things happening. And it's up to you to decide how you're going to approach the world...how you're going to live in it, and what you're going to do."

—Jo Ellen Chapman”
Deborah Wiles, Countdown

“This is how it works. Everything is connected. Every choice matters. Every person is vital, and valuable, and worthy of respect.”
Deborah Wiles, Revolution
