A Year of Ordinary Achievement & Daring Greatly
I was inspired to write this post by Hands Free Mama who wrote a post with this name and by Brene Brown's book Daring Greatly. They seem like opposite ideas but they are not. Daring greatly is to be vulnerable and connect with people and what better way to do that than to celebrate … [Read more...]
