Love it. Great inspirational twist!
DeleteHi Laurel - worry ... some people fall into the trap of worrying too much - I think my hero would suddenly realise that he/she wasn't helping themselves by worrying about the how, but then develop a way of helping the community via good deeds - I was thinking hospital or nursing centre etc ... cheers Hilary

Sounds like a great way to cure the worry monster--by being proactive in doing something one cares deeply about.
