First thoughts from Daddy

I was reading some of Pam's original thoughts on what it means to be a warrior princess and trying to break it down in my own mind.  It's all about who we hope our daughters would grow up to be, but even though a warrior princess is a powerful image, what does it mean in the real world?  Here's my first thoughts, subject to refinement:

Saint - Love God and spread His Gospel
Leader - Learn and exemplify respect for self and others
Warrior - Fight against injustice
Scholar - Exploring the truth and beauty of life and creation

Part of thinks there's elements missing, but another part thinks they might just be subcategories of these four.  Like what about art and music?  Maybe that's the scholar.  Anyway, very broad-brush, but that's where I always start.
