Jessie,

Yes, it is. Sometimes bravery is staying, sometimes leaving. Sometimes speaking up, sometimes silence. This time through is very different from the past. I'm glad you're on board now.

Peace and abundance,

Carmen,

I'm so glad you liked the question, too. We have to ask ourselves this! I'm glad you got a chance to be very brave and had so much loving support.

Blessings and courage, O

what is to be brave?

I was so chicken scared last week... i think knowing that I was loved, surrounded by prayers, hope and bloggy friends and someone next to me gave me or make me brave.

It's interesting how we perceive ourselves so differently than others perceive us. During the time I have been reading your site, I actually consider you to be a very brave person.

You have taken ownership of your own existence.. and that's the bravest action anyone can take.

I think you're right, Chani. It has taken me years to get to the point of realizing it.

And we can't control most things.

Thank you for your reflections here. I am just now learning to be brave!

Love,

This is a brilliant post, Olivia.

Bravery, as I define it, is doing what you know in your soul of souls is the right thing to do. Just that simple.

The application of the concept, though, is far more difficult.I get what you are saying, as you describe some of the possible "this? or that?" pairs which are often our choices in the moment.

One of the most interesting
