I’M BOLD!
I hit the snooze button this morning . . . twice.

Rowenna says
I’m Bold!
I enrolled in graduate school in a new city with no car, no job, no place to live, and no idea how I was going to pay for it…. I just knew it was the right move, and although it was terrifying, I’m so glad I did it – everything works out!
Steph says
I’M BOLD!
…Except not really! Reading these replies make me feel so timid! I guess the boldest thing I did was spent two weeks with people I didn’t know in a state I didn’t know building a house (never even picked up a hammer!) for hurricane Katrina victims with Habitat for Humanity. So out of my comfort zone but it was totally worth it and SO much fun!

I’M BOLD! This is less bold .. and more brave. I moved to NYC for a year, navigated the city with no help, got lost (way lost) plenty of times, made great friends and amazing memories all while completing my grad program in a year. I wouldn’t give up those times for anything.

Devon says
I’M BOLD!
Well, actually, after reading others’ responses, I’m not sure I am. I can’t think of anything that can compare with some of the answers I’ve read. But I’d like to be bold….
Chelsea in Richmond says
I’M BOLD…
Actually, I tend to do things that I don’t consider bold at the time, but looking back, they definitely were. I’ve chopped my hair off, painted our first dining room BRIGHT pumpkin (and loved it!). I do things because I’m looking for a change and I don’t fear change ;-)
