thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed reading Jo and Hil's blog entries for the new year. didn't see why they had to worry it was something cliche: I haven't seen anyone else give out awards. On top of the enjoyment, respect for their being unafraid. Unafraid of being who they are, unafraid of leading, unafraid of speaking out, unafraid of planning for the future.

unafraid, a.
[UN-1 7.]
Not afraid; undaunted, undismayed. Also const. of.

Not merely not afraid despite fear, but undaunted. Mark of a hero.
