I’M BOLD!
In HS, my hair was so long, it was almost down to my booty. I chopped it all off to a 3″ pixie cut. The poor stylis – I cried for two hours after she had cut it. It ended up being stinkin’ adorable, but it was such a shock at first!!
Stephanie says
I’M BOLD!
When my husband and I first started dating, I had fairly long hair. He thought I would be cute with short hair, so on a whim I allowed him to take matters into his own (untrained!) hands. He bought a pair of clippers and gave me his version of a super-short pixie cut. That was the shortest my hair had ever been. I cried then, mostly out of shock. After ten years and many inches of grown-out hair, I am able to laugh at this memory and appreciate the boldness initiated by young love!
Jess says

Greta says
I’M BOLD!
I once participated in a “polar plunge” in Madison Wisconsin. I consider jumping into a frozen lake when you know you will not be able to get out without the aid of the firefighters waiting on the other side of the hole in the ice is bold. :)

Amanda says
I’M BOLD!
In high school I was painfully shy. After putting up with classmates making fun of me all year long (9th grade) I grew tired of the teasing. I yelled at them, in the middle of class, and told them I was sick of being teased and that I didn’t want to hear it anymore. They never teased me again. They probably thought I’d had a psychotic break. ;)

Casey says
I’m Bold!!
All of my world travels have been done via last minute invites! My first experience was a last minute decision to participate in a study abroad program in Australia. My second last minute travel decision was when my mother and aunt invited me along with them to a European vacation when their other sister had to back out. Both decisions were scary, exciting and expensive, but totally worth it!

Melissa says
I’m Bold!
One time during a dinner while on a work trip in San Diego, I worked up the courage to speak to the celebrity chef to tell him how good our meal was. It really impressed my boss!

Christina says
I’M BOLD! A few summers ago I went on a mission trip of sorts twelve hours away from home–alone. I didn’t know anyone that I was meeting there, I just hopped on a plane and went, and it was FABULOUS! I made great friends and learned a ton about myself! I’d do it again now in a heartbeat!

Tanya from dans-le-townhouse.blogspot.com says
I’M BOLD: hubby and I bought our house seconds after touring it. Put in an offer, little bit o haggling, then it was ours. No sleeping on it, no thinking about it. We just went for it! And a year and a half later, no regrets. Woot.
P.S. The house had us moving to another city – another quickly made decision!
P.P.S. Great artwork!

Ashley says
I’M BOLD!
I once sang the National Anthem at a high school basketball game when I was 25 – the opposing team was stuck in traffic, scooting game time back by about 30 minutes. The high school choir soloist set to sing right before tip-off was made late for a first date with a guy she’d been crushing on over 2 years, I came to find out. So, I told her I’d sing it. She left – and there ya go.
I’d never sung a solo in my life. National Anthem in front of a few hundred people I’d never see again – whatev.
