I feel very enveloped ...Thank you for the welcome. I feel very enveloped in courage.<BR/><BR/>And it's interesting about the poop. Before you are a parent, you think, oh god, poopy diapers, I could never, it's so horrible.<BR/><BR/>But then the baby comes, and it's gross, sure, but you get used to it, because there's no one else to change the poo.<BR/><BR/>And then, it just isn't scary anymore. Even the blueberry poos (yikes) Even the toddler poos that clog the toilet. Even the exploding poos.<BR/><BR/>That's why the be brave challenge is a good one. Because getting in the habit of being brave and doing it anyway, for even the little things means that jumping in to the really huge, scary things doesn't seem so scary anymore.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe being SCARED isn't what's so scary anymore. I have a post on "Fighting Gachnar" which is a fear demon from Buffy the Vampire Slayer which talks to this. <BR/>http://warriorgirl.blogspot.com/2008/06/fighting-gachnar.htmlRowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07146077261663557342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-69065115724105054172008-07-10T22:16:00.000-04:002008-07-10T22:16:00.000-04:00rowena, i'm so glad that you decided to join in on...rowena, i'm so glad that you decided to join in on the be brave journey. i'm glad because now i've found your blog and it's wonderful! i love the mosaic you've created and there are a few images that i am especially drawn to.<BR/><BR/>yes, so anyway...i look forward to reading about your adventurous journey outside of diaperland...although i'm sure there are probably a few dirty diapers that will count for your scary thing of the day! :)-Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377814945121401007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-71139911546024998362008-07-10T00:59:00.000-04:002008-07-10T00:59:00.000-04:00I loved this!!

The images are in order, left to right, like reading a book.<BR/><BR/>1. rowena-- I didn't know there was a place in Oregon named after me. I'm so flattered.<BR/>2. Pizza. Food of the Gods.<BR/>3. Blue<BR/>4. Johnny Depp, baby. And he just keeps getting better. I liked that this image looked so natural, and I am naturally lazy so like beds.<BR/>5. Coffee. Beverage of the gods. I almost went with margarita, but was glad I stuck with my daily love.<BR/>6. Writer's Retreat. Nothing exotic, just lovely creation and time to work.<BR/>7. Chocolate. Come on folks. Be serious.<BR/>8. Novelist. I could have added how I want to do speaking engagements and teach, but I thought I'd keep it simple.<BR/>9. My family. Just because.<BR/>10. creative. I just am, can't help it.<BR/>11. mamacita. I tried to make it my full name, but there was nothing so I shortened it. rosymamacita was not there. Probably because I was unable to upload any photos because I am Flickr deficient.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07146077261663557342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-43296973997500320622008-07-09T21:47:00.000-04:002008-07-09T21:47:00.000-04:00Liz, I will be honest, the only reason I didn't ma...Liz, I will be honest, the only reason I didn't make excuses for myself and talk my way out of it was because she had just reaffirmed her goal that night, right before I found her. It was too big of a coincidence. And I am also keenly aware of how I will probably flake out or lose impetus on the challenge, so that's not really the point. The point is not to stick perfectly to somebody else's challenge rules, but to build up the habit of NOT running away from what I am scared of, which I do... all the time. So I had to do it. Even today, though, I didn't do the thing that is really scaring me. I did three other things, though, so it's still a success.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07146077261663557342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-80715558549970754782008-07-09T18:09:00.000-04:002008-07-09T18:09:00.000-04:00How pathetic but I'm afraid to sign up for the Be ...How pathetic but I'm afraid to sign up for the Be Brave thing because I'm pretty sure that I won't be able to do one brave thing a day. It takes me weeks, months to do anything outside of my normal routine. Good for you, though, Brave One.Liz Stone Abrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759310180633003512noreply@blogger.com
