of a special woman in your life who is working tirelessly to kick breast cancer s butt posted by allie at 8 00 am 10 comments labels darlybird new items thursday october 5 2017 darlyfacesfears and facing failure by cleowade i have failed i envisioned excited and anxious women mindfully choosing a fear making and sharing plans and overcoming these fears rejoicing together encouraging one another and growing together i envisioned empowerment i envisioned this bringing a depth to the darlybird community i was proud of how this challenge shared the values of growth strength and the beauty that i believe darlybird embodies only four women entered the contest i failed in my expectations i failed to generate community within the darlybird community and i used company time money with seemingly little to show for it the good things these four women shared their fears and their excitement in overcoming them was awesome each woman s post received so many likes and comments full of encouragement and love i loved reading these i overcame some of my own fears namely rafting on open water and donating blood needles i had intended to do another one as well but life got in the way and truth be told i m still riding the high from donating blood that fear had been weighing on me for years especially since i felt like i was not serving others as well as i could have by holding onto that fear i can live and learn live and learn this contest didn t go as i had intended it to but often life doesn t go as we intend it to we have failed expectations changes in plans changes in interests and hopes and dreams we have failed relationships failed financial endeavors or our great ideas are met with little enthusiasm by others and maybe eventually ourselves as well i feel like i have experienced so many of these in my life perhaps even more the older i get and the more ambitious i become but the thing is the failures not only hurt less but i can use them to learn and to grow to refine myself and my ideas and shape the next project in a better hopefully more successful way i think this response though doesn t always come naturally we sometimes become accustomed to struggle and rejection how do you view your failures try switching your response to what can i learn from this i ve learned a lot from this particular failure and i m continuing to process it for example this particular failure can help me understand the darlybird audience better offers great insight into the focus that the darlyblog should take we ve had a lot of company conversations about this over the past few months since we relaunched darlybird and likely more things that i ll realize with time have you ladies read you are a badass by jen sincero i highly recommend it at one point jen lists off a bunch of successful people we ve heard of car makers scientists athletes etc and their failures before the success finally hit like huge failings like steven spielberg dropped out of high school and was rejected from film school three times or soichiro honda who was turned down for an engineering position at toyota so he started his own company honda jen says the only failure is quitting everything else is just gathering information if you have this book in front of you you can find this awesome section in part 5 chapter 23 the grand prize i had initially planned a very decent sized grand prize gift certificate to darlybird for the winner this is another point where this failure is a bummer it wasn t only my own intention that didn t pan out it also involved company money i ve decided to split up that grand prize so each of the four women who entered will get a smaller but still decent gift certificate to darlybird they all deserve a prize and knowing some of the woman as i do i think hope that they will be okay with this change i really am so proud of and grateful for each of them for contributing to this project and so if you re still reading i still extend the challenge to you find a fear and work through it big or small i am almost positive that you will find greater self confidence through the process and eliminating a fear will likely create more space for beauty in your life at least that s what i ve found love allie posted by allie at 8 00 am 5 comments labels darlyfacesfears tuesday september 19 2017 darlyfacesfears some of your entries thank you

is a big accomplishment to me and a huge fear i overcame darlyfacesfears also if you have the right size stroller you can take it on the plane with you melissajack_ ____ let s talk about fears for a second i ve been trying to face some fears namely the fear of rejection it prevents me from making friends and including others in activities i enjoy so this week i braved up and invited a new friend of mine to an activity tonight and guess what she said no am i a little embarrassed yeah but it wasn t as deathly terrifying as i made it out to be in my mind anyway point being don t let the fear of rejection keep you from wonderful experiences _kathrynkelly_ _____ red white and blue making allie great again jk but seriously this is for darlyfacesfears its stupid but i ve always loved bangs ironically they scare me for many reasons but it spices things up and they are fun i ve been teased from time to time in my life having bangs i finally decided to not care anymore and get my bangs again because they are fun and something new ️ and who doesn t love new alliebubbles121 _____ facing a sewing fear today i have always been really hesitant about sewing into lace it scares me and there so many beautiful fabrics i could potentially be making awesome stuff with today i cut into some awesome lace i found in downtown los angeles and making a dress for an upcoming wedding hopefully my fears of working with lace don t come true darlyfacesfears now to face my fear of clowns anybody know a clown i could hug and quickly run away from carol_mgp _____ thank you so much for those who have entered so far be sure to enter asap contest ends at the end of september so proud of these ladies and the things they re accomplishing this month what fear do you plan on overcoming tell us in the comments then go out and do it posted by allie at 8 00 am no comments labels darlyfacesfears tuesday september 12 2017 darlyfacesfears allie donates blood feeling pretty tough in my car after donating blood for the first time p i used to be afraid of needles and truth is they re still not my favorite so far from it but i ve had to deal with needles a few times because adulthood one of my first big needle experiences though when i was still very scared of needles was having to get my blood drawn for some tests when i was probably 19 or 20 afterward the doctor emailed me to inform me that my blood type was o negative and how great this was because i was the universal donor and could help so many people then i panicked and ignored that fact for several years i ve always felt a tinge of guilt when an opportunity to donate blood would come along and i d pass but even as my fear of needles lessened over the years i d then have the horror stories i d heard from friends who had donated blood getting light headed passing out and in one extreme case having nerve issues in her arm and if nothing else the needle is big i d been told i knew this would be one of the fears i d overcome this month but when all the hurricanes floods and other disasters began one after the other around the united states i knew i didn t want to wait to do this any longer i registered to donate blood with the red cross online one evening mentioned it briefly to my roommate the next morning and that night on my way to the appointment i texted another friend asking him to remind me that donating blood is no big deal right totally chill everything s fine and he confirmed that yes donating blood is totally chill then kept texting me jokes and kind words to distract me if you have not donated blood here is the process sign a thing read some things be invited back into a private little space where a nice nurse will check my blood pressure prick my finger to test the blood checking the iron levels and such then they left me with a laptop to answer a series of personal questions to make sure that my blood is clean and able to be donated when i was done they took me back to a nice lounge chair the same nurse who had checked me in took my blood i informed her from the get go that this was my first time donating blood and i was nervous i recommend doing this because she knew exactly how to make me feel safe she answered all of my questions told me exactly what she was doing then had me inhale deeply and exhale as she inserted the needle i didn t look and she covered the needle itself so i couldn t see it which i m grateful for i held one of those stress ball things that she had me squeeze every 3 5 seconds to keep the blood flowing well the nurse made sure i was comfortable and we just chatted the whole time such a great woman when she bent down to check the progress i did glance over once not a lot to see but still interesting i don t recommend doing this if you are particularly squeamish with blood when the bag was filled the website says it takes about 8 10 minutes but i didn t keep track when i was donating she again had me inhale then exhale as she removed the needle she had me hold the gauze and apply some pressure and lift up my arm for a moment to help ease the bleeding she put a bandaid over the folded up gauze then put that stretchy tape stuff around my elbow to hold pressure there i was told to remove the tape after an hour and keep the band aid on for the next few hours i took it off at bedtime but replaced the band aid just so it wouldn t accidentally start bleeding at night while i slept they offered me some cookies and juice as i sat there afterward to make sure my blood sugar levels were good i think i felt just fine though i don t think i needed cookies or juice but why would i ever decline such an offer hah verdict i m so glad i donated blood and i intend to do so again it really wasn t a big deal yes a pinch when the needle went in but i felt that for a split second then was totally fine i will say my iron levels were great and i was sure to hydrate throughout the day before coming in i felt no lightheadedness and truly felt great afterward and as cheesy as it sounds i felt especially great knowing i had not only overcome a long held fear but i enjoyed the process and was able to help others i m just so glad i did this i still feel good about it this month face a fear and share your experience on instagram with hashtag darlyfacesfears and you will be entered to win a 100 gift card to darlybird posted by

coward for being scared to go rafting see a couple posts ago yikes it shook me i never thought it was a big deal to pass on experiences that scare me and there are many confused i confided in a friend who then responded does he not know what you ve done does he not know what you ve overcome the most courageous women i know aren t jumping out of planes rafting down rapids fighting bad guys etc they re the ones who face their pain head on and keep going they re the ones that keep showing up even when they can t see an inch ahead of them they re the ones who know that pain is a tunnel and not a cave thank you natalie norton for that insight they keep on going having hope for the end of that tunnel knowing it will come a dear friend of mine at the beginning of working through her own deep trauma years ago decided to do something that scared her every day sometimes it was reaching out to a person she admired running a distance further than she d ever run before or doing humanitarian work in a foreign country big or small she did it as she did those acts of courage she gained back the confidence that had been shaken and probably more those daily acts of courage were part of her emotional recovery they were part of her discovering within herself that she could get to the end of that tunnel yes i rafted yes i m doing things that scare me but when i look back at this past year the bravest thing i ve done is to say no to finally close a door and to keep it closed despite painful and manipulative backlash i cried for days i had to seek validation from every gal pal to remind me that i was doing the right thing and then finally the chaos that i had let invade my life for years finally calmed i let go courage this month face your fears get out of your comfort zone internally or externally whatever it may be for you i encourage you to do it because when we let go of our fears we create more space for beauty and light in our lives so let s do this love allie this

fears is still painful to think about it involved an intense conversation with a friend that ended in tears me and anger him and on the surface at least it all revolved around one thing rafting he didn t want excuses but let me tell you when water has betrayed me multiple times motion sickness puking misery and panic attacks about open water the idea of getting on a raft and floating down a swaying river for three hours sounds like my own personal hell i think excuses are okay especially when they are rooted in...
