Do You Dare? (to do what makes your heart sing)

13 Mar 2010

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
– Mary Oliver
I *love* the writing of Kelly Corrigan. Her book, The Middle Place and her massively popular videos make me laugh out loud and cry like a baby… and sometimes I squirm uncomfortably when she describes in her unique voice some embarrassing thing she did that’s awfully close to something I’ve done, too.

I think every day for a month I’ll watch this video first thing in the morning to kick things off and dare myself to do the wild, audacious things my heart cries out to do. Hope you’ll watch it, too! What are the top three things we should dare one another to do?  What outrageous thing do you “have no business even trying?”

I dare you…

Thanks for this Rebecca, I need to keep hearing this over and over too. I can’t believe that you do! You are one of my new heroes. Kiss that big dog of yours for me.

Thanks Donna; that’s so sweet. I really have been watching this video every day. It makes me feel like anything is possible.
