We're All More Brave Than We Let Ourselves Believe.My name is Emily. I'm what you would call an optimistic humanitarian Christian. I graduated from Iowa State University with a BA in religion and sociology and am currently working on a Masters of Divinity degree to become an ordained minister in the ELCA. I write about life (the good, the bad, the awkward...), from an optimistic yet honest perspective. Every life is an unending chain of adventures; these are the adventures of Emily the Brave.

Let's Talk About...
Eleanor Roosevelt said, "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."
I'm not good at small talk. I get tired of talking about the weather and celebrities.
All of my posts start with, "Let's talk about..." It's an invitation to conversations we might not automatically think of having.
We tend to move so quickly from topic to topic as events and people are in the limelight for only brief moments. However, there are some ideas that are topical in a way that current events aren't. So grab some coffee, have a seat, and let's talk about something different.
-Em.
