Brazen like a MOTHA!

by

I am brazen. This isn’t something I’ve always realized, though. So much of my life, I’ve struggled with what seemed to me to be my reckless desire to live outside of society’s expectations for a woman. Since I was 20 years old, I’ve walked in and out of entrepreneurship, a brazen act in and of itself, but even as I did it, I always carried an apology with me. “I’m sorry,” I would tell ...

Real girls. Reel stories.

by

  I was incredibly inspired by Carla's Brazen post and after nodding enthusiastically at the computer screen-- I decided to answer her call to action: What does BRAZEN mean to me? I am the founder of Camp Reel Stories, a media camp for teenage girls.  And I am about to embark on year two of getting 13-18 year old girls to work with professional mentors to make their own media. I ... Continue Reading

Put your OWN mask on first (guest post).

by

Please welcome Heat.  She's inspiring.  She's wise.  She's a Self-Care Superhero...and she didn't even know it.   Three times in the past 12 hours, I have read this: First put on your oxygen mask. Then help others. The first time, it was directed at me (and was well-warranted). The second time, it was in a blog post that was written a while ago but I finally just got around to ...

It’s the “Be” in Brazen that Scares Me (guest post).

by

  I’ve been thinking about what it means to be brazen since Carla’s original post and call to action to live brazenly alongside her. Why do so many of us – as was seen in the comments – think of brazen as bad? To live boldly and without shame? To work in a way that’s “unrestrained by convention?” To be unapologetically ourselves? I read those words and my heart says, “Yes! ... Continue Reading

Change is Good, right (guest post)?

by

 Please welcome Jenny. She's here to chat change, life, change, blending families, change and, well, her approach to change. (did I mention she's talking change?)   It was the 35th anniversary of my arrival on this earth. I often kid people that “Beware the Ides of March” was not warning Julius Caesar of his assassination, but rather a warning of my arrival thousands of years prior ... Continue Reading

The only constant is change (guest post).

by

“The only constant is change” That’s not my quote, but I believe it. Once you know that the natural state of things is to evolve then change is something you may actually look forward to. Maybe I believe that because of my background. To give you an idea, I went to three different high schools, in three different countries, each in a different continent with a different language. My dad ... Continue Reading

Weighing the less and more (guest post).

by

Please welcome Katie. I invited her here to chat about CHANGE as her change'perience is one Ive NOT experienced. And yet? I can still entirely relate.  Change be universal...   When I saw Carla was looking for guest bloggers to talk about change I immediately jumped at the chance. I mean really. If there’s anything I know these days it’s change. Then I thought it over a ... Continue Reading

A Charming guest post.

by

The below is another guest post in my series addressing CHANGE. It's brought to you by KURGO but the opinions--and attitude shift from his alter-ego NotSoCharming--are all the Goldendoodle's. Hi. My name is Charming.  I don't have a blog yet (www.HesSoCharming.org is currently taken) but I live with a blogger so I know all about how you guys roll. I'm also an avid blog reader (I ...

I am a creature of habit (guest post).

by

Please welcome Pamela.  While she's sharing her musings on change---I'm off living the change.  At a conference. Outside our tribe. Learning, exploring and embracing the change.   Ill be back soon with stories, I'm sure.  Until then lets talk about HABITS...   I am a creature of habit. I start each day with a cup of tea while reviewing my schedule and checking email. I plan ... Continue Reading

Ch-ch-ch-CHANGES! (guest post)

by

  You know that David Bowie song, Changes? "Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes...turn and face the strain...." Yeah, so I think of that song when I am asked about life and change (if you are younger, you may need to google the song and who David Bowie is). The funny thing about that is that the song really doesn't have a lot of correlation to my life; or does it? As with any story, there's ... Continue Reading
