I stumbled upon you this summer, the day you re initiated it and joined. I knew the graphics looked familiar. Huh. Coincidences.<BR/><BR/>I've been trying to do Be Brave, but I often don't consciously think of it. Although I am definitely much better at being brave than before I took on the project.<BR/><BR/>I made big steps that I might not have otherwise.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07146077261663557342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-49340837080230855062009-01-23T15:56:00.000-06:002009-01-23T15:56:00.000-06:00"May your fascinations lead you to the center of y..."May your fascinations lead you to the center of yourself."

They usually dress in a special way. So they feel the transition happening as they are getting ready.<BR/><BR/>But what about us stay at home artists, and especially the writers.
