Thoughts before I begin my journey...

WOW, as many time as I've heard of people doing the Love Dare on their significant other, I never heard of doing it on yourself, let alone 'me' doing it on myself.  I am excited and scared at the same time. 

I bought the book today and only read the introduction.  It talks about taking the view of leading your heart instead of following it.  What an amazing concept - to lead my heart towards what is best in the long run instead of acting on what it thinks I should pursue because it feels right at the moment.  I can't tell you how many time I've done that in my life - hmmm, let me see...almost every decision I've ever made - YIKE!!

I begin my journey tomorrow, July 7, 2011 and will have completed the 40 Dares by August 23, 2011.

As I go through these dares I will be journaling on what the Dare is, the things I am learning about myself and how I react & respond to these discoveries and the shifts I notice in myself.

The introduction closes by reminding me that I have the responsibility to protect and guide my heart, and that learning to truly love is one of the most important things I will ever do.

I choose to accept this Dare.
