This is a message I made for myself many months ago, way before the ideas of a Daily Roar entered my life. I have long written notes to myself. Notes as reminders. As guideposts. As anchors. I recall writing messages of affirmations on the top of my hands, the part near my thumb when my palms are fisted when I was in college.

Being Bold

March 09, 2024 by Sara Lashbrook

I find myself returning to a Daily Roar post that I made. It has got me thinking about being bold, the power of reflection, acknowledgement and acceptance. And on a deeper level, trusting the process.

 

Here in the original Daily Roar from January 1st:

 

These are the two that came to me today:

 

Maybe we can start at the word bold. According to a quick google search, Oxford Dictionary shared this with me:

  

Bold. Conviction. A knowing. These are the words that come to me.

 

These are synonyms that arrive:

 

Yes, this is what is sitting with me this morning as I come out of silence. Total acceptance of what has happened, unfolded, occurred. What I have met, engaged with, done and said. Actions, steps and choices. All of them have led me here. I am inclusive of them all, leaving nothing out.

 

Not wanting for things to be another way or a different way. Not wanting things to have not happened or certain things to replace them.

 

Total acceptance of what was.

Total acceptance of what is.

 

Bold. Vivid. Strong appearance.

 

And these synonyms arrive:

 

Yes. Sounds. Right. On. Point.

 

Grateful to be here in this knowing.

Grateful to be here with this knowing.

Grateful to be right here, right now.

 

With a hug,
S
