We dedicate our Courage Issue of SoulfulLiving.com in memory of our friend, author Katherine Martin, who died earlier this year of cancer. Katherine was a true woman of courage. Her life mission was to awaken
the courage in each of us and to inspire people to make a difference. Through her sold-out theater performances, public appearances, and books, including "Women of Courage" and "People Who Dare," she provoked a new conversation about courage, busting myths, getting real, and empowering people to live their lives boldly and authentically.

May peace and joy be yours as you live your life courageously!
