A - Adventurous


A fearless southern girl is . . .

Adventurous

She takes risks that require courage. She's willing to go out on a limb for a friend. She ignores her insecurities and runs for school board. She ignores the walls begging to be painted and hosts a dinner party for her friends. She resists nagging apprehension and rides roller coasters, flys down zip-lines, rafts rapids, climbs rock faces.

I think I qualify as Adventurous - I love roller coasters and climbing rock faces...

Great start to the challenge.

As a southern girl, I had to let out a cheer! Does whitewater kayaking count as adventurous?

This spoke to me -
She ignores her insecurities and runs for school board
I recently became Chairman of my daughter's nursery school, which is a part of our church. Boy! Who knew what a seething cauldron of drama and politics! Some days I am completely sure I wasn't cut out for the job, but I ignore those insecurities and pray for the Lord to guide me!

Love this idea for the blogging challenge! I am a transplanted Northern-Southerner that continuously challenged the norm. One of my mantras is: Conform and be dull. Dare to be different!

Look forward to reading more posts.
