YOUR Brave Specs!

I have had a blast doing this collaboration with Bonlook! Thank you for all of your votes on my pair of specs... I can't wait to show you! I have been honored by special guest bloggers/artists here on the blog through this series, check them out here (1, 2, 3, & 4).  I also asked you, "What makes you brave?" Here are your answers (and your stylin' specs!) ....

1. “My 4 year old son is what makes me brave. Any time I feel let down or scared, I can always look at his smiling face and realize that my faith has got to be like a child’s.  His smile makes anything else seem like a grain of sand.” –Stacy Zavala

2. “This photo takes me back to a very special and unique time in my life. I had just graduated college AND was in a foreign country for the very first time. This photo was taken when my friend & I separated from the group to explore Florence ourselves. The next day I was there on my own for 7 hours while the rest of the group went to see Pisa (I had rather spend my time in the Uffizi). I remember the liberation & fearlessness I felt that day, as I walked the streets in a dream come true. I got to thinking about it, and I'm pretty sure any time I'm in someplace new I experience the same rush of bravery. There's something about seeing the world that really pulls down the walls.” – Ragan Burkley

3.   *The idea and hope of becoming a better version of myself.
      *The responsibility to honestly say I did my best. 
      * The belief that the Lord created me to be bold and that I can succeed. 
      *The duty to make yourself strive for things that seem uncomfortable, in hopes that you may inspire

      someone else to take a leap of faith.

      "That's what makes me brave.” – Katie Bailey

4. “I guess [because I'm]carrying another couple’s twin babies that they couldn't carry themselves.” – Kelley Larson

5. “I guess what makes me brave is the support and encouragement I get from family, friends, and especially my husband. He gives me daily courage to try new things and take leaps of faith.” – Mattie Pawlowic

6.  “The strength and dignity that I see in others on a daily basis gives me courage to strive to live in a similar fashion.” – Sarah Scott

Happy day!
