I’m bold! Trekked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu two summers ago (it was amazing)
Mandi says
I’m bold!
Once, after hearing a friend talking about her experience on a mission trip, I up and spent two months in Honduras. Best two months of learning ever, and it counted for college, too! (I should add-I’m still horrible at speaking Spanish!)
Stephanie says
I’M BOLD!
I stood up to my Boss about something he didn’t agree on. Since then he has more respect for me for standing up for myself and luckily I ended up being right in the end too (which helped for sure!).

Dawn SC says
I’M BOLD!
Yeah, I’m more of an obsessive planner than risk taker, so “bold” does not exactly describe me. But, I went paragliding in Argentina when my husband and I were on vacation. Bold for me since I’m not a big fan of heights. Plus, we had to literally jump off a cliff which was the hardest part of the whole thing (me in my pidgin Spanish to the instructor I was going tandem with – “I apologize in advance for screaming…” :) ).
Rebecca says
I’M BOLD!!! Until reading your blog I had NEVER done a DIY project. Now, in the past year or so we have done 5 pretty big DIY projects WITHOUT hired help! If you knew me you’d know how truly BOLD that is of me!! =o)

I’M BOLD! A year and a half ago I chopped off all of my hair to donate it to locks of love. Maybe not the boldest move of my life, but after having long hair all my life, it seemed pretty dramatic to me! :)

I’m BOLD!! I am bold for applying for an internship that my advisor pretty much said I didn’t have a chance at…well, HA! to her….they hired me as a graphic artist when I graduated! :)

“I’m bold”

I’M BOLD!
Last year we made the bold decision to put our house on the market again despite a grand failure the summer/fall/winter before. Within 8 days we had a full price offer and now we’re in our as-forever-as-can-be house. SO glad we took the risk of disappointment all over again!

I’M BOLD!! I work on an inner city ambulance and I’m renovating my fixer upper house all by myself… that second thing might just qualify me as broke!!!
amber says
“I’M BOlD”
I think buying my home two years ago was a bold move. I had never lived on my own, and the house I bought was actually the first home I had ever toured. I don’t regret it at all.
amber says

I’m not very bold… which is why I need some of this art!

Stephanie says
I’M BOLD!!!
I dyed my hair electric blue in grad school :P I messed it up, so it wouldn’t go away and turned into a disgusting green by about month 8. Cost 5x as much to color over as it did to dye it in the first place!
Lindsey says
I’m Bold!
Hmmmmm….I’m a safe person by nature, but I have hacked-off my slow-growing hair a few times….kind of feeling like that now actually….
