Be Brave

Over at Diary of a Self-Portrait, Jessie writes about her Be Brave Project. She quotes Eleanor Roosevelt:

“Do one thing every day that scares you.”

Interesting words.
To me, it includes:
being willing to stretch,
to expand our horizons and
to reach beyond our comfort zones;
to take chances;
to have faith in ourselves and in our processes.
It is
standing up for what, in our heart of hearts, we know as truth.
As artists, we grow as we explore our world, both inner and outer, through our work

What would you do each day?

    Hmmm. For me, it would probably have something to do with connecting with people. IRL, darn it all. I prefer to stay in the car rather than talk to the other parents when I pick Jesse up from track, to go to the grocery store, rather than sit with the other homeschool moms at skating. I isolate. So, opening up and not avoiding people in everyday situations would be high on my “brave” list.

    I’m not really sure what it would be but I think it is GREAT Advice! Even if it is a little small something you are afraid of….! Eleanor R. was a terrifically brave and bright woman!

    Anything to do with talking to people, that’s something that never gets easier.
