Be Brave

Say it.

Do it.

Be it:

Don't wait for the safe moment; it's never coming.

The future will not afford you an opportunity to be more secure, more calm and grounded:

now is the jumping point!

Take your soul for a flight over your fears and live the pieces of life you are avoiding...

That place in your heart that quakes at the thought of breaking out and doing new things?

It secretly wants to stop winning over your sense of adventure.

Somewhere inside of its fluttering heart, your fear wishes desperately to be proven wrong, that death isn't waiting in a car up the street

that the woods offer more than dark and deep dangers...

that a friendship can endure your human-ness and grow stronger for it

that your heart and soul are ten times more powerful than you ever imagined:

I promise they are.

Your strength is bolstered by your more delicate side,

your femininity cradled by your masculinity..

Just take a baby step:

try

fail

laugh

dust off your knees

try again

succeed

delight

fail again

wonder at the richness and supreme beauty of this world we live in, and seek out more and more of those things that feed your better parts.

Your fear thinks it might be time to go on that diet it's been thinking about since last summer...

The Brave Clutch will be in the Leather Shop later this afternoon

Real Arizona turquoise set in fine and sterling silvers

stitched by hand into a finely tooled 12X5 clutch

hawk wings

old timey swing clasp

purple suede lining, pinked for a bit of sweetness

riveted for a bit of badass

Made with more love than you can even imagine.

xoxoxox,
