I’m Bold! It was more boredom than boldness, but I once cut 17″ off my hair.

Been skydiving, whitewater rafting, gave birth to 2 kids without drugs, and now have 2 under the age of 3! :)

“I’M BOLD!”
Last spring, I applied for a job in the company that everyone on my team advised me against. Even when I got the minor promotion, instead of congratulations, I was warned that I made a wrong decision.
A month into the job, they “upgraded” that position and I received a HUGE salary raise.
I’m happy I trusted myself and did something everyone advised me against. It really paid off in the end!
<3
Kristin says
I’M BOLD
Boldest thing I’ve done is have a baby. Mostly because before now babies scared me. Now I couldn’t live without her.
Lauren Bonnema says
I’m BOLD!!!! Everyday I teach mouthy teenagers 8th grade history and LOVE IT!
Rachel says
I’M BOLD! I’m owning it! 2010 was pretty unbold for me. Big expectations for 2011 though!! I’m sure one of these pieces would help me in my Bold Factor.
Love your site!!
Catherine says
I’M BOLD!
I resigned from my teaching job without a clear back-up plan. During my months of unemployment I started really questioning my sanity. But then I got an editing job where I work from home one month before my husband got a job offer in Research Triangle Park, NC (we’re currently in Richmond), and things couldn’t have worked out any more perfectly. I wouldn’t have been comfortable leaving a teaching position mid-school-year and I of all the jobs I applied to, I ended up with the only one I could take with me to NC. Life is good!

I’M BOLD!
My then- boyfriend – now husband – we went to a nudist beach – many years ago when we were younger (and thinner!) Never again!!! But it’s fun to think back about it and have a good laugh!

Amy Elizabeth says
I’m Bold!
I once left a job that was well paying, but very, very hard on me with no prospects for another job. Leap of faith for sure, but one that was well worth it!

My fiancé and I are eloping on Friday…

I’m BOLD!!! I am totally freaked out by needles, but have given blood several times (frankly, in hopes that my fear would subside!)
Jen O says
I’M BOLD!
When I put my mind to something… I do it! That includes deciding out of nowhere to start running and run a half marathon to one day deciding to be a vegetarian!
Anna says
I’M BOLD!
Okay, maybe not so much, but I did paint our dining room red.

flo says
I’m BOLD!
Although, honestly, I don’t think I am. Nothing terribly bold or exciting comes to mind right away. I’m sadly a ‘stay between the lines kind of gal’. Sigh.
Courtney says
I’M BOLD!
In 2005 I took a leave of absence from my job and went to work in Afghanistan for 6 months which is where I met my husband. Best (and bravest) decision ever!
Melissa says
I’m bold – I recently started selling my crafts on Etsy!

Jill says
I’M BOLD
Angi B says
I’m BOLD!
The boldest thing I’ve ever done was join a mother’s club…my son is the only child in the WHOLE organization (out of 500 members) with a disability (Down Syndrome). Despite how hard it sometimes is for me, I did this to pave a better road for people with disabilities and a more robust life for my son.
Christina S. says

Michelle @ Ten June says
I’m BOLD! I just painted my dining room navy blue :)
Jessie says
I’m BOLD! .. except not so much, because I prefer to stay on the ground, eat the foods I already I know I like, keep my hair its natural color and one length.. and I even just told my boyfriend when we go on a cruise over the summer I didn’t want to go near the edge of the boat for “fear someone would trip into me as I stood there and knock me overboard”.. but I love color and a bold home! It’s my only bold quality. :)
Amber says
I’m BOLD!
I went whitewater rafting in Colorado, even though the thought of drowning scares the pants off me. Seriously… I coughed & sputtered in the theater while watching Titanic. :) It was the most thrilling and awesome 2 hours of my life, and I’d go again in a heartbeat!
Aryn says
I’m BOLD!
At least I have been lately.
In the last five years: I moved to China to teach English for a year…said “yes” to marrying my husband just one week after meeting…started a print magazine for our region (won an award today!)…& put three streaks of color in my hair: red, purple, blue! Woot!
amanda says
Because I’m ending where everyone else started, I’M BOLD!
Julie F. says
I’m BOLD! … I decided to take my first “real” job out of college teaching English in Vietnam. I taught and lived with 4 other girls I had never met, in a country where they eat dog. (I wasn’t bold enough to try dog, though. Burger should be happy about that!)
Sheena says

I’M BOLD!
Probably either living, studying and traveling in Europe for a semester in college or taking my first teaching job one week before school started (after having no plans to teach at all that year and no preparations made!).
Michelle says
I’M BOLD!
I speak my mind!
