    What a brilliant idea Sonia! And very generous of you. I’m going to share it on The Blogstress Network. I’ll also see what I can come up with that fits into the Gutsy category.

      Hi Barbara,

      I know you have some Gutsy stories to share, and look forward to hearing from the “Blogstress Network” too. Thanks.

    What a fun idea, Sonia. I’ll have to give this some thought. I don’t think of myself as very gutsy, but maybe getting on a plane to Africa to be with a guy I barely new would qualify 😉

    I don’t normally see myself as being all that gutsy. But lately, I’ve looked back on a few things and thought, “Wow; I actually did that!?” These are kinds of things that I thought, in hindsight, were really crazy — in at least a couple of cases, putting our family’s economic future on the line to take a new job.

    I guess what I’m saying is that I tend to move with my heart (and my brain too, but mostly my heart). I’ve taken on challenges, and thought, well, that was OK. But in further hindsight thought that took a fair amount of courage.

    I think, if we looked back on our lives, we would all find some gutsy things we have done, and could tell our stories.

    You’ve got lots of gutsy people following your blog, Sonia. I’m looking forward to reading some wonderful stories. Thanks for this new plan.
