The fear of beginning | Brave Girl Blog
http://bravegirlspirit.com/the-fear-of-beginning
Hello, Brave One! The fear of beginning. It has taken me 3 years to get here. My heart is pounding and my head feels dizzy. I'm not sure why. It's purely a space to share my thoughts, my experiments, the things that make me want to get up and DO. But it also feels a lot like jumping off a cliff, not knowing where I'm going to land. I have a secret to admit. I don't always feel brave. I am terrified of failing. I don't want people to know I can't do it all. I am excited to explore whatever that means.

Hello, Brave One! The Art of Doing Nothing. It’s ironic that this Italian phrase is what I was drawn to this week since I haven’t been in this state of chaos since my last semester of college. I suppose we often long for what we don’t have. Mama Moon and Joel have this joke about being. They think it’s silly that we walk around claiming how busy we are like it’s a badge of honor or an excuse to be unkind. Keep Reading. April 17, 2015. Was going to call the shots on what I wore.

Hello, Brave One! Shine & Wine. The sun is so rare this time of year in Michigan but today he showed his lovely face. These days, I never know when he’ll be in town so I closed the studio doors to soak him up on a long trail walk with Tiger. Tiger chased squirrels. I caught up with my thoughts:.

Hello, Brave One! Woman, Warrior & Artist. November 19, 2014. Gardening, Feathers & Money Love. No, I haven’t read this entire stack through. My reading list is forever long so I’ve given up on it and go with books in the moment. For instance, I’ve had The Loon Feather. By Iola Fuller for a couple years because it has wonderful illustrations of Mackinac Island on the front and back inside covers. It was an act of desperation to begin the first pages with my glass of wine each night. Keep Reading.

Hello, Brave One! Have a Little Help. I should not be writing this (my calendar has me slotted for client work right now and I haven't quite finished my morning admin work) but I must be writing this (I cannot keep ignoring my pulse in the name of productivity). Do you ever notice that after you've run yourself ragged, that's when people start coming out of the woodwork to help you? You're grateful yet curious as to why they're showing themselves to you now? It feels like magic to me. Thinking of you, Em.

Hello, Brave One! Today is my birthday. I am 26. I woke up to balloons on the ceiling, sunflowers on my dresser, and an inflatable flamingo on my floor. Her name is Fran, and she’ll be accompanying me to my Bachelorette beach day tomorrow. Joel put them there yesterday with the best bacon card a girl could ask for before heading north for his Bachelor weekend because he is the most thoughtful person I know. Keep Reading.

Hello, Brave One! Chilly July Day on the Pier. Joel kept referencing Indiana Jones because of my hat (unless he meant I look like Harrison Ford. As you can see, Tiger wasn’t a great sidekick due to ALL THE OTHER THINGS he’d rather be doing than taking pictures. July 22, 2016. I’m about to order Joel’s ring (eeeeek!

Hello, Brave One! Photo by Rachel Kaye Photography. Article originally written for the Yellow Conference. What do you have to do for the rest of the day? He asked me after his last bite at lunch. It was meant to be funny, an innocent joke, but the final spoonful of my black bean chili tasted sour before my reply,. No, I actually do stuff. Quite the convincing statement, huh?

Hello, Brave One! Truth is, I don’t have a life like the one’s I see on my Instagram. Feed and aspire to have. I am not a #ladyboss. I don’t run my own anything (dishwasher, yes. company, no.). I’m not at home writing in the morning and cuddling my adorable baby in the afternoon (my wish, yes). We’re not building our dream home with wraparound porch and view of the water (soon Joel, soon).

Manifesto | Brave Girl Blog

Hello, Brave One! These words swam through me in a moment of tearful clarity. I reached my limit of being a watered down version of myself. If you are feeling a little less than courageous, I want you to know you’re not alone. You are not brave despite your fears. You are brave because of them. Take this with you when you need it.
