Me, Brave????

I'm not really a brave person. I have always been the person that needs to see others do it first. Today is no different.

I have been challenged to blog for the ENTIRE month of March, The Slice of Life Challenge. My first thought was, No. I don't have time and I don't know what to talk about. Luckily for me, some of my colleagues were willing to take a risk and jump right into the challenge. I saw others do it first and it made me feel more comfortable and not so alone. So, here I am with post #1. I am relying on my friends and the wise words of Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh....

"You are braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."

  1. Yes. Yes you are brave. Brene Brown says, "Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.” I kind of think she and Christopher Robin would be friends. You do have things to say Brittany, and I can't wait to read your wonderful wonderings and powerful ponderings. Be sure to post your daily blog link on the Two Writing Teacher's blog so lots of other slicers can read too!

  2. Yay! You are here AND your first post is behind you!! That's an accomplishment in and of itself. It may seem a bit daunting and intimidating, but there is no more encouraging crowd in the world than your fellow slicers, I promise! You will look back at the end of the month and feel pride, yes, but you will also look back next year and the years after and be so moved to re-read what you capture in these 31 days. So many of us just keep coming back!! We can't help it!! :) Welcome and ENJOY! ~ jen. (jenbaum-laughoftenlovemuch (at) blogspot (dot) com)

  3. Welcome to the community! You are brave! You are strong! You can do it! I definitely thought long and hard this year before joining the challenge (this is year 3 for me and I was not so successful last year), but I decided that I would throw my hat in again and work around all those obstacles in my path. I am glad you came to join us.
