Tess,
What I’m taking away from this post is encouragement to celebrate every “little” positive step that I take each day. Your list shows so clearly that there are far more than we probably realize and acknowledge. So it feels like a real celebration!

Since “shine” is my word of the year, the “shine bright” part of your title definitely caught my attention! Everything matters. So true.

As you share here “it all matters”! Every single moment that we live and breathe matters…sometimes we live more fully and breathe more deeply, but on all levels, it all matters. Thank you for the lovely reminder:)

Hi Tess,
Powerful post Tess. It all does matter, doesn’t it? You’ve inspired me to let go of the fear that holds me back and go for living life in a big way. As they say, this is not a dress rehearsal, so we should live large and follow our dreams.

Hi Tess,
I love it! I wrote extensively on all things FEAR last year and we’re moving past all that and embracing the possibilities, the opportunities, the realizaton that each of us must shine in our own way. It’s just a matter of changing the way we think about it, and beginning to control the feelings that come along with it. I like “dropping your story” the best – that changes everything, doesn’t it!

I am here to testify that letting go and creating a new story is working so unbelievably well for me! It is working so well that many of my professional associations I have formed since late September cannot believe I was not always this boldly goofy, yet productive and original! A new story of yourself that needs to be much more centered in the deepest recesses of your heart and soul: that is the ticket, Tess.

Everything has changed since I started giving gratitude, thinking in terms of gratitude and realizing there is in fact huge abundance.
So sad when I see people with monetary abundance not happy, stressed, wanting more, and trying to run as hard as they can to get more. I recognize it because I was once there.
Mahalo for so many thoughts on it matters.

Being original and authentic matters to me and of course your whole bold living list, but that is very important to me! Happy New Year!

Yes I agree. I have high expectations for others to be authentic. Hmmm I’m sometimes disappointed.

Tess,
This is wonderful post! Part living bold to me means welcoming challenges and even looking for them. Challenges can be exciting and amazing opportunities for growth. It takes a shift in perspective though. I know I tend to want things to go smoothly and be easy but I realize when things are always easy I’m not pushing myself enough.

Hi Joe,
I know what you mean. I’ve not pushed myself to create and that’s all changing. I’m launching my ecourse tomorrow. I’m excited about breaking through that barrier.
