Thoughts On Courage

Something magic happens when you put a thought out into the world you truly believe in. It's like Life says, "Ok, I see you. You want that? You need that? You are that? Show me." At least, this was my life talking to me this week. Is it just my life who has a mind of her own, an airy feeling when I let her breathe & I surrender the urge to control everything? God, I hope not. It's beautiful in a free-falling kind of way. The best way.

I was challenged this week to:

• Be vulnerable with an idea I believed in whole-heartedly

• Attempt grace in the midst of chaos (a very uncomfortable feeling for me)

• Listen fully when I really wanted to gab

• Not accept what is socially acceptable (& shouldn't be)

• Ask for help despite my pride not wanting me to ask for help

 All of this happened because of your comments on my post earlier this week. I wasn't only using the courage from my reservoir, I had taken some from yours too. I hope you don't mind because what you wonderful women who commented on the last post taught me is when you share a piece of yourself with others it comes back to you with the power of everyone who has used it before you.

So without further ado, the Brave Girl Clutch was meant to be for Emily C.!  I picked the good ole fashioned way (thanks Joel!) & am thrilled it's ready for Emily to rock in her own way. Haley is also including free shipping for any readers who purchase a Brave Girl Clutch from her Sweet Sugar Beet shop. Use the code FREESHIP at checkout & you're good to go!

Thank you to everyone who supported the maker's union between Sweet Sugar Beet & Brave Girl this week with your kind comments online & off. They lit the fire for me creatively & spiritually, I hope it caused some bright flames for you too.

Happy weekend friends. xo, Emily
