Tess Marshall here, The Bold Life is a delicious and juicy mix of inspiration, spirituality, and personal development.
I'm here to inspire you to follow your heart, unearth your bold, and create a meaning and love-filled life.
If I helped you be more courageous and step beyond your fears today, I have done my job. If I made a difference in your world today, I have done my job.
I believe we’re here on planet earth to grow in kindness and love. In order to do so we need to let go of fear and take bold action.
Doing so will impact every area of your life in a positive way.
Recommendations for a Bold Life:
Look at things you have never seen before. Go places you have never been before. Do things you have never done before.
What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do.
Seize the moment. Open up. Don't hold back. Get your bold on!
Don’t worry about who doesn’t like you, who has more or who’s doing what. Release desperation. It’s the ego voice attempting to distract you from your own success. Relax and live with patience, persistence, and determination.
Appreciate everything. Love everyone. Play full out. Be brave. Speak up. Feel your emotions. Lighten up. Participate in adventure.
Be bold, be brave and move forward with a peaceful and loving heart. Make your life matter!
I'm a wife, mom, author, speaker, spiritually-based, fear shattering, calculated risk taker, witty, loving, passionate, runner, traveler, and ADHD hyper human being.
I have a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology. But my real knowledge has come from experiencing life with my heart wide open. My biggest teachers are my husband, my four adult daughters and their families. They challenge me to love unconditionally.

Hi Tess
Your new site and look is OUTSTANDING! I feel like I just landed on the site of one of the Hay House people.
And all that you wrote here is so beautiful! I love, love, love it!
Awww dear Tess you look soooooo beautiful. You have an amazing child-like energy and look that makes you look eternally youthful. Just to open and endearing I wanted to hug you. Love, Robin. Just loving the photos of you. SO MUCH!!!
Tess, I am touched by what you have said on your page. Really strong, incredibly positive. I like the bold part. Great writing, too. I downloaded your book and am really excited. Thanks so much.
was looking for the interview with Anne Lamott and Elizabeth Gilbert and came upon your site – what a lucky find. Will be back.

Tess! You are a wonderful write. Your write ups are very inspiring and have simple words to go deep into the hearts of readers. May God bless you and your loved ones with love, peace, joy and light. Amen
Tess, if you get a chance can you email me? I couldn’t find your email. I thought I’d saved it.

I’m writing a post and I wondered if I could include a quote from you on a question I’m writing about.
Thank you! No hurries – it is the weekend.

Love ya girlfriend. You live Boldly in so many ways. Thank you for your shining example of having fun while reminding us of what is most important…oh yeah – to have FUN! xoxo Barb
Tess, I couldn’t find a contact form on your site, so can you email me please.
Hi Tess,
It makes me happy to read you…such a lively, ongoing and creative being…I love people like that, because I am not so far away as you, I know it, that’s why I am reading….
Keep going doing what you love doing, honouring your being and all the gifts that has been given to you…
I love when you write that you are ADHD, cause sometimes I do feel the same, always on the go, making things happen, quick minded, exhuberant…and you may know also that sometimes the pace seems going slow…
Anyway, so far, I am enjoying each moment that life is giving me, knowing it is meant to be so, for the right reason….
Be bold and beautiful Tess….
Love
Danielle
You are awesome!!! I had an awesome night of laughs and deep conversation from a truly gifted friend. It is always rewarding and a pleasure spending time with you……you are on my favorite list! Love ya, Randa
Tess,
What a great post! Thanks for these reminders, especially for those of us who consider ourselves enlightened and spiritually mature. How easy it is to backslide when the relatives arrive at dinner.
I had to pull my own coattail just last week at Thanksgiving. Whew! I had to heed my own advice.
This is hilarious! Particularly I forget when my son-in-laws arrive. I may be doing great but then my ego tempts me to “get in their back yard.” I’m getting better at not jumping right in;)
Hi Tess. I didn’t see a way to contact you on your blog, but I wanted to let you know that your commentluv plugin is no longer working because it needs to be updated. Feel free to delete this comment after you read it.
Reading this, I know now why I resonate so strongly with you.
How could I have forgotten? You are Brene Brown and all of us who desire a true, connected, worldchanging paradigm. Thank you, thank you, for being YOU and having the courage to share yourself with the world.
I love reading your blog. I am so grateful for my friendship with Roshelle. Without her I would never have read your work!
Tess, it was great talking to you last week! Thank you for sharing with us!
Hey Valerie,
I’m glad we have your problem solved! Let me know if you don’t get the emails!
Hi Tess. You are on my Sunday Special today.

I think society is suffering from information overload – so much, so fast and, unfortunately, so similar. I stumbled upon your blog and it was a breath of fresh air. I love your writing style and your dedication to help others live a bold and love-filled life. AWESOME! I can’t wait to read more. Your page is bookmarked and your e-book is about to be downloaded.

Tess, I just found your wonderful blog! Your courage and passion – and your dedication to helping others live their boldest, happiest lives – jump off the page (off the screen, actually). I so look forward to following and reading more about your journey! All the best.
