    I’m BOLD, after having a very BAD, i mean really awful first pregnancy (was in the hospital for 6 weeks one time, and spent a total of 12 weeks there out of the 40 weeks you are pregnant) decided that I would have another. 4 years of AWFUL infertility followed with EVERYONE saying..maybe its better since you had so much trouble with your first pregnancy…I conceived. Our family now has the most amazing little boy and the pregnancy was a total breeze not even morning sickness!!! If I had not been brave and given up on conceiving our family would not have this amazing guy!

    I’m BOLD! I started graduate school (Library Science) and bought/moved into my first house all in the same week…..I had been working towards both dreams for over a year, they just happened to come together at the same.exact.time. The best part was being so busy that I had NO time for being stressed or overthinking.

    “I’m bold!” I let my husband cut my hair about 3 years ago. He did such a poor job that I had to shave all my hair off and start all over again. Completely bald summer 2008.

    I’m bold and beautiful. Not really, but I couldn’t resist!

    I have chopped all my hair, I have gone skydiving, but I have not confessed my love to a friend.

    I lived in Japan for a year and then, moved to NYC without a job lined up. I don’t always feel brave, but whenever I tell someone those things, they always act like it’s the bravest thing they’ve ever heard of!

    Also, I totally love Judy Kaufmann’s prints!

    I quit my job and changed careers when I was six months pregnant and my husband was unemployed – it meant a move across state, 6 weeks of UNPAID maternity leave, and a month and a half of being uninsured (and eating canned peas bought on a credit card)… longterm it was still the BEST decision our family has ever made! we are so much better off and saving up a downpayment (which is why I drool over your blog ever day!).

    I’m Bold! I moved from nice mild Vancouver, where I had lived all my life, to freezing Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in the dead of winter. It took some adjusting, I’ll tell you.

    I’M BOLD TOO! After college I packed up my little Chevy Tracker to the gills, strapped my bookcase on top, and moved b myself out to Colorado (from Michigan) for an adventure in the Rockies! Loved finding a job at a coffee shop, hiking, and making new friends in a new place!

    I’M BOLD!

    Deathly afraid of heights, I still went to the top of the Eiffel tower when I was in high school. It was an opportunity of a life time that I did not want to miss out on!!

    I’m Bold… I jumped off a high cliff into water (and broke my collarbone and tailbone). Maybe I’m just dumb…

    I’M BOLD!!! I swam through shark-infested waters off the coast of Mexico while carrying a bottle of tequila out to a boat. What can I say, when you’re young you’ll do anything for love!

    I’m bold. I packed 2 toddlers up and flew to visit my grandmother half way across the US. My husband couldn’t get any time off, I stayed with a 2 & 4 year old for ten days. Looking back I was very brave.

    I’M BOLD!

    I, without much sleep, confessed my love to a past girlfriend comparing my devotion to her to The Notebook! Didn’t go well but I rebounded with a chocolate cake reference that was better but not good enough. BOLD FAIL!

    “I’M BOLD!”
    I quit my job to go back to school and become a designer! Yikes!

    Don’t worry, everything worked out and now I love what I do!

    I’m BOLD!

    I moved across the country to be closer to a handsome boy I’d only known for 30 days. Yikes. We’ve since married, and continue to make it-sounds-crazy-but-you-know-it’s-right decisions.

    Although, we frequently discuss how none of our children would ever be allowed to do that!

    I’M BOLD! Well, not really, but in high school I did profess my love to one of my best friends via email. He talked to me the next day and used the whole “don’t want to ruin our friendship” lines. Really wish I had kept to my un-boldness at that point in time!

    I’M BOLD! I’ve taken my sons (1.5 & 4.5) to a restaurant with cloth napkins. It was scary, but they were awesome!

    When I met former President George W. Bush my mind went blank and told him that I loved him…really…that’s all I said.

    I’M BOLD because I met a man in Barbados, kept in touch with him for 4 years while he was living in the UK, then married him 2 months after he moved to Canada to be with me. 2 kids and 5 1/2 years later we don’t regret a thing!
