I’M BOLD!
I love the one of the houses!
Molly says
I’m bold! I lived in Niagara Falls, NY for one summer in college. Moved up there, lived with a much older cousin of mine, didn’t know a soul (and didn’t know my cousin that well either) and I was a waitress at a restaurant right on the Falls. It was one of the best summers of my life and I met some great people!
Mandy says

I told a friend how I felt about him… and we’ve been together for 7 years now :-D

I’M BOLD! I bravely asked my beloved out for dinner over seven years ago.

Lauren says
I’M BOLD……not really…
Amy says
I’m BOLD… because I told someone what I really thought yesterday.. scary yet sooooo liberating. I would also like to add that this artist shares the same name as the woman I love more than words can say.. my Mother!! How cool is that?
Diana says
I’M BOLD! I have actually chopped all my hair off. I loved it at the time but grew it out after…does that make me bold but lazy?

Krista D. says
I’M BOLD!
I bought a car with a manual transmission even though I’d only had a few lessons on one. Those first two weeks were pretty scary, but now, I’ll never go back to a standard!
Leanne says
I’m BOLD!…
I put all of my belongings in storage, moved back in with my parents (after 10+ years of living on my own), eliminated non-necessities and commuted to work by train every day to save for a house of my own. I’ve now been a homeowner for 8 months!

I’M BOLD! I’ve jumped out of an airplane, and cut all my hair off on a whim…
Sarah K says
I’M BOLD! I’m getting a PhD. Then again maybe that’s just crazy?

Kendel @ Eating Abroad says
I’M BOLD! I wanted to live abroad so packed my bags and left. This is my 3rd school year teaching in Germany and it has been the best and bravest move yet.
Melissa says
I’M BOLD!
I’m pushing through feelings of procrastination to design a children’s book. Perhaps not the boldest or bravest thing but it’s so easy to sit online and read awesome blogs and press my stumbleupon button.
*keeps working*
Holly Hanna says
I’M BOLD. I bought a 2000lb, 80 year old letterpress machine and had it moved into my garage without ever having letterpressed before. I had never even touched a letterpress machine until we loaded off the palette jack!
Marytoth says
I’m bold jumped out of planes in the army!
schmei says
I’m BOLD!
I did my first triathlon last year – and liked it! So maybe I’m just nuts…
Also, I chopped all my hair off for no reason in November, but you took that one already. :-)

I’m BOLD! I reached out to reconcile with a friend after a very hurtful conflict. Here’s hoping for the best…and for some of this fabulous art!
brandt @ New House on the Blog says
I’M BOLD!
The boldest thing I ever did? Ask my wife to marry me…
(thankfully she said yes)

I went skydiving and it was the most exhilarating experience ever!

I’m Bold! I got back on a horse after I was thrown off. Not so easy to do!

I’M BOLD!
We are spending our whole savings to go to Italy and Greece this summer. We’ll be as poor as the day we got married, but with the experience of an amazing trip under our belts.
Carly says
I’M BOLD!
Back in college, I went to see a band play at a small bar, and thought the lead singer was gorgeous – so I wrote him a note telling him so and left it (along with my phone #) in the tip jar. So out of my character! He actually called me, too!
Shelley says
I am BOLD….because I homeschool 3 kids and have my own photography business!

I’M BOLD…I’m planning for a natural birth, ha!

I’M BOLD! The boldest thing I ever did was to come back from France after two months to be with my (now) husband. We had only known each other for a few weeks but I just had to move back!
Grace says
I’m bold!
because I flew across the globe to a conference in Australia without knowing anybody when I arrived, and I conquered my fear of heights by climbing the Sydney Harbor Bridge!
Amber says
I’m bold
Skydiving, check.
Traveling in Europe solo, check.

I’M BOLD! I went skydiving in college & was so sure I would wet my pants out of fear that I took extra pants along with me to the airport.
Amanda says
I’m BOLD!
My husband and I are taking a spontaneous vacation in March. In fact, we still have to decide WHERE we’re going… That’s the bold part. ;) Just in case you were wondering!! Ha!
Stephanie says
I’M BOLD! Actually, I’m not…but I love those prints!
Ashley E says
I’M BOLD!
(Actually, I’m usally not very bold… I tend to be overly cautious… but…)
The week after we got married, my husband and I moved from small-town Arkansas to Los Angeles, CA for him to work on his masters. At the time, we didn’t know a soul here, and neither of us had jobs. That was almost four years ago, now, and it has worked out beautifully. It’s so fun to go on adventures together.
Jenae says
I”M BOLD!
Leanne says
I’M BOLD!
I’ve done lots of crazy adventurous things like travel to foreign countries, eat strange foods, and skydive. But I think the boldest thing I’ve done recently is get engaged and commit myself to my partner for the rest of my life. I have never felt more emboldened (is that even a word?) than knowing that we are going to be by each other’s side through the rest of our adventures!
Marcella says
I’m Bold!
I am just about to embark on a brand new career and am both excited and terrified, but here’s to taking the road less traveled!
Lesley H says
I’M BOLD!
I agreed to teach my 16 year old nephew to drive – my car! So far so good!
Meredith says
I’m Bold!!!
Not really. I’m kind of quiet and reserved but certainly have bold dreams! I want to be a planner for Eco-communities which would mean quitting my job, going back to school, and moving to Washington DC where my current paycheck would barely cover my monthly rent!
