Daring

Some things you are going to see soon at Smart Creative Women

1. A facelift. No, not on me…on the site!
2. Easy topic navigation.
3. Interesting contributors.
4. More written posts.

I wanted to add some more written posts since I believe everyone consumes information in a different way.

I will be finding my stride with all these changes and additions this month and into February, figuring out what days work best for episodes and written posts. Thanks for your patience as I stretch and grow. Honestly, it can be a little scary to make changes and to push myself to grow. It is uncomfortable and exciting at the same time.

I know you understand. I was talking to my girlfriend Kelli Proia who was choosing three words to focus on in 2013. One of her words was, DARING. I was impressed. I liked the sound of that. What if we dared to do something really different this year? Dared to push ourselves out of our comfort zone?
What if it was a disaster?
What if it was a marvelous success?
What if you learned something so valuable from a disaster that it propelled you towards marvelous success?

I think making choices and decisions can freeze us up if we let them. In my Smart Creative Dreaming Crash Course one important exercise is to so a something I call Extreme Dreaming. Don’t think I didn’t (and still do) struggle with this myself. I am a girl that vacillates between infinite possibilities and old fashioned practicality. Trust me, that is a weird line to walk. To do any type of ”out there” dreaming riddles me with questions. Does it makes sense, how will I accomplish that? Who will watch the dogs? Errr… practical.

If I were to break that down it would really read:

I vacillate between Possibility and Fear.

Possibility gets me up every morning and fear talks me out of being brave or DARING.

I think I will borrow Kelli’s word this year. Daring.

Can’t wait to come up with the other 2 words for 2013! What will yours be?
