I’M BOLD!
IM BOLD
umm…i can’t think of anything…sorry!
I’m BOLD…I once helped a guy out of his overturned truck.
I’M BOLD!
I quit my nice safe job once upon a time to move to a different state to be with my boyfriend (now husband) and then take a lower paying/more gratifying marketing job!
I’m bold! I once climbed to the very top of a water tower – and I’m terrified of heights! (No alcohol was involved, but there was a double-dog dare and no self-respecting guy can back down from one of those.)
I’M BOLD! I painted my wall purple!
I’m BOLD!!
I painted my living room/kitchen a BOLD pumpkin shade, and I absolutely love it.
I’M BOLD!
The bravest thing I’ve done lately is have a baby without any drugs! They had to induce my labor and I progressed from 1cm to 10cm in about 6 hours! Ouch!
I’M BOLD.
I changed my world around, changed college majors, colleges and moved 100 miles to date a man. Luckily that man became my husband.
I would love to win this. My husband and I honeymooned in Barcelona and are about to go back to Spain explore the country more. So anything that has to do with Spain makes us happy.
I’M BOLD!
I’M BOLD!
I started a blog.
I’M BOLD!
I graduated from college and moved to Spain to teach English!
“I’M BOLD!”
But, not really.
I’M BOLD!
I’M BOLD!
I’m bold! I moved across the country… just because!
I’M BOLD!
Last summer I hiked over 700 feet up a mountain, and I had never been hiking -or on the top of a mountain- before. The view was breathtaking and I felt so accomplished when I reached the bottom again. :)
I’M BOLD!!!
I got my nose pierced when I was 49. I’ll be 50 next month and am drawing my tattoo… ( My husband is about as conservative as they come. I think I am finally deciding to be me :) )
I’m bold!
and yes, I did do skydiving once. :)
I’M BOLD! I streaked The Lawn!
No, I’m kidding. I’m not sure I’ve ever done anything bold…
I’m bold!
I just decided to take a voluntary separation package from the company I’ve been with for 10 years. It’s my first real job out of college, so the thought of changing careers is scary! It’s definitely a good decision though. Much better than an involuntary separation!
Im bold! My husband and I like to scuba dive and a lot of our dives are at night. A lot of people say that would be their worst nightmare, being in the black ocean in the dark, but it can actually be quite relaxing :)
Love the tree print! I have a dream of one day having a wall of framed trees. My collection is small, but will keep growing. This is perfect!
I’m Bold!!
I sang the Vanderbilt Alma Mater at our college graduation in front of 10,000 people!
I’M BOLD!
How about marrying a man you’ve met in person twice, have him move over here, and 5 years and two kids later, still be the happiest you’ve ever been? Yeah. (Oh and did I mention I asked him to marry me? lol)
I’m Bold!
The boldest thing I’ve done is decide to move to England for a year on my own. It was only about a month and a half between when the idea of moving countries popped into my head and when I hopped on a plane with my figers crossed, hoping that I could find a job when I arrived.
I’M BOLD!
I like to scuba dive at 100+ feet through caverns! It’s so much fun!
I’M BOLD
…with my cooking.
I’M BOLD!
I went ziplining in Costa Rica!
I’m bold!
I’M BOLD!
I left for a vacation in another country without knowing wher I was going! I wound up in Morocco and Budapest.
I’M BOLD! Quit my job in 2005 to go back and get my MBA, eight years after I finished college. Wasn’t the oldest in the class but was up there. Glad I went when I did, given how bad the job market has been since I graduated in 2007 — the peak of the bubble…
I’M BOLD!
Sometimes I just say bold things that I probably shouldn’t. :)
I’m Bold!
These prints are beautiful!!
I’M BOLD!
My husband and I just uprooted, sold the house and cars and shipped ourselves and the dogs from New Zealand to the States. A big one for us!
I’M BOLD! I’ve been skydiving, but honestly, the bolder thing I’ve done is give birth naturally. :)
“I’M BOLD” because with God’s healing, and my families support, I beat a rare blood disorder by undergoing extreme chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant. Yay, feeling great five years post transplant!
I’M BOLD!!!
I left my job and 9 years worth of hard-earned clients to make a new life here in Boston!
I’M BOLD….
(but not creative enough to think of a witty example at the moment, so I’m going to steal yours)
and in fact, I have gone sky diving! Would love to go again one day!! :)
I’M BOLD! I moved to Peru to empower indigenous girls using sports!
I’m bold!
I’m Bold, or should I say we’re bold. My hubby and I left our jobs in NYC to move to Madrid, Spain so he could go back to school and i could be a house wife. I say I got the best end of the deal :)
I’M BOLD! I went on a week long trek/camping trip in Antarctica!
I’M BOLD! I participated in a Polar Bear swim. This involved jumping into a lake through a hole in the ice on a freezing cold January afternoon. I think it was about 30 below that day!
I’m bold! I moved to Nashville with no job or income, having lived in Texas my whole life, to pursue a career in the music business. I ended up working for a non-profit that provides clean water and HIV/AIDS support to people in Africa and I wouldn’t trade it for anything!
I’M BOLD! I asked my boss to reconsider the outcome of my annual performance review. My boss upped my raise, then offered me a promotion a few months later!!!
I’M BOLD!
One of the boldest things I’ve ever done is go horseback riding in a foreign country. It was pretty sketchy and also my 1st time riding a horse!
I’M BOLD!
I was bold when I agreed to join the Parent cheer/dance team at my daughters All-Star Cheer gym. Ugh! That was a bit embarassing, but oh so fun!
I’M BOLD
… and would make my bedroom fit my personality if I won this!
I’M BOLD!
Similar to Chanelle, above me, I think the boldest thing I’ve done is move to New Orleans from across the country without ever having visited before or knowing anyone in the South to teach school in low income urban schools. It’s so worth it.
I’m BOLD! I’m shopping for my first house! YAY!
