...march forth on march fourth!

what have you been dying to do?  what have you been putting off?  
what has been in the works but never makes it to the table?  
what do you admire in others that you are afraid to try yourself?
today is the day!
pull up your boot straps friends.
it.s a beautiful day to go forward.
you can take baby steps or a giant leap!
it.s up to you.
grab your cazoo. 
your marching tunes.
put streamers on your bike.
make an exclamation to the world
or
just whisper it to yourself.
march forth!

(for a great example of marching forth...
check out my dear friend rachel awes' brave march...here!!!)
well done rachel!

what march will you make today?

  1. i LOVE this post!! i am marching forth with my etsy shop...yes i am!!!

    i am letting go of fear.
    i am letting go of simply being okay with the fact i am not sure what i am doing and it isn't going to be anywhere near perfect.
    i am doing it.
    life is too short....that reminder has been so prevelant to me over the past few days.

    i am marching forth my friend....

    i love you dearly!
    xoxo

  10. Thanks for stopping by my blog and taking the time to leave a comment. I loved Artful journey and was taken back by reading your wonderful posts on it. Robin is a great person and I'm glad to have met her. I had such a good time I'm returning in July to take DJs class!

  11. In three days I'll be marching inwards...Finally showing the world what lies inside my heart and within my soul as I showcase my ART for the first time in public followed by a reading from my unfinished book...It is SO wonderful to be part of a community that encourages each other to be the best we can be. Thank-you all for your courage...it is inspiring! Love to you Chrissy for saying it like it is and pushing us to conquer our fears! You are unforgettable! xox

  12. Hi Chrissy,

    Great idea, but too much going on today, to march forth on the fourth, I will try to march forth on the 7th, when the birthday party and various events are over. I will put streamers on my bike, perhaps go do my art date, it didn't happen today, as planned. Life got in the way...
    Thanks for cheering everyone to try something new... What did you do?! I think I need to get out the silly string, i could do that...lol

  13. Thanks Chrissy, I didn't much feel like marching today, good to have a cheerful nudge. I marched to visit a good friend today with flowers and ice cream in tow(She just had surgery), then it was off to a little league meeting, and now I'm about to play with my art supplies while we watch American Idol. Happy Thursday and thanks again for the encouragement!

    Love to you,
    Jenny

  16. I love the idea of marching fourth. I am marching fourth with myself and listening to that inner voice inside myself, only being in healthy relationships, and doing what I must do for myself to take care of me.

    Thank you for making me declare that.

    Missing you big time dear!

    (and yes the words on my last post were mine)
