I thought it would be adventurous. As soon as I set foot on the ground I realized how stupid I was! I'm so glad you are liking it!!<BR/><BR/>Tony - there are big chunks of time we've lost, eh? I tend top think the really brave things are the smaller things, the ones that just feel really hard to do instead of adventurous. And it never feels brave. It just feels scary.Heidi Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420802651029097379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-54986025220557208422009-03-31T09:36:00.000-04:002009-03-31T09:36:00.000-04:00So much catching up to do - I'm sad to say that I ...So much catching up to do - I'm sad to say that I didn't know most of this. <BR/><BR/>To be honest, I'm not sure I know what brave is when it comes to myself. Brave is something that someone else says about you - or that you say about someone else. To the person who is being brave, it is something completely different - it may be taking a chance, or doing what was the only thing to do, or finding a way through a situation, or following your heart. In fact, I kind of wonder if someone is being brave if they are, in fact, setting out to be brave.Tony Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725428614970482019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-68238645272258728252009-03-26T06:46:00.000-04:002009-03-26T06:46:00.000-04:00When I moved to Germany, I didn't know a soul.

I guess I'll keep at it until... well, until I don't.<BR/><BR/>Jen, Heidi and Kerri - I'd never keep going if it weren't for y'all. And I like the idea of a special brand of crazy! :)Heidi Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420802651029097379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-44307943136553185842009-03-25T13:57:00.000-04:002009-03-25T13:57:00.000-04:00I think that's incredibly adventurous.

I think we're just caught in a time when the whole industry is acting very timid. It moves so slow in good times and now it's just crawling.<BR/><BR/>Maybe if we combine brave and stupid we get a special brand of crazy???Heidi the Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639479864903922047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-37861667518950712622009-03-25T04:01:00.000-04:002009-03-25T04:01:00.000-04:00Look.

And then you did Babs, and *really* worked her. She is fantastic, as are you. Okay, she is still out there, but now you're working on Riley. <BR/><BR/>This is not stupidity, this is not cowardice, this is working until you get the job done. I am not going to let you give up and nobody else is, either. Don't give up on yourself, bb, you are a *good* writer. <BR/><BR/>It only takes one. <BR/><BR/>And you'll find it, I know it. <BR/><BR/>(((hug)))JKBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13176569393506563218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-5891167582695391312009-03-24T16:52:00.000-04:002009-03-24T16:52:00.000-04:00Sounds like you're pretty brave.
