#dobravethings saturday


the bravest thing i've done so far this year has definitely been beginning this blog, and the daily posts, and the daily post-{post}-traumatic-syndrome processing afterwards... but there have been some other risky behaviors going on around here, and i wanted to share them (maybe you'll be inspired to be brave yourself, or see how you already are without even realizing it...!)

in no particular order, my braveries of the week:

*tried a top knot

*disappointed someone (this is brave for me, as my tendency is to orient my life around the expectations of others. i chose what was better, even though it disappointed, and i'd do it again)

*started a family gratitude journal (even when all seemed pitted against it ever happening)

*experimented with my daily routine

*did not let them define me

*risked stepping closer to God

*didn't shy away, but pressed into hard conversations (this will have to be an ongoing, daily choice as i naturally avoid these...)

*read the bible

*signed up for a story-coaching session with Elora

*gave a risky gift (all gifts feel risky to me - this needs to be explored)


what brave things are you doing?
