Caitlin- I enjoyed this deeper deconstruction on hero v. warrior. You’re right in that they’re not always so easily differentiates from one another. A great way to end my week for sure. How are you and the family doing? Cheers, -Thalia

Hi Caitlin! Liked your ponderings about warriors and heroes - both needed in life, but perhaps, someone most "selfless" could lead us best in all realms :) Who might that be? IHNI!!!

Loved the sunflowers leaning into the SUN too and re: MILK - YES - children of all ages need good fats for brain development! I STILL have a hard time weaning off of the full-fat milk I had as a child - no other good way to drink my 1 cup of coffee in AM without CREAM! hugs!

True, a hero puts his or her self at risk to help others. I agree with the definition of warrior. Our culture needs both to survive. As for the milk, your children are still growing and do not appear to have problems with their weight. Stay with the whole milk and when they become adults they can ween their self to a lesser fat content milk. I use the 1% variety as an old guy.

Enjoyed reading this and appreciate how you differentiated the two terms. I think the self-billed word choice that politicians use to describe themselves provide valuable insight into how they will lead if elected. While warriors are needed on occasion to lead, we need more heroes.

Self styling is indicative for sure.
