The assignment for July involved using sticky notes to record when our word was active in our lives. While the concept was intriguing, I have to admit that July was far too busy and full for me to devote any creative effort to making use of the idea. That's the long way of saying I didn't get my homework done. :( July was full with more office days than usual (including three in one week!) and a week away for vacation.
But "DARE" was alive and well in my life throughout the month of July. I DARED to:
- purchase a Living Social voucher for yoga classes to guarantee that I would get started again
- make my young adult daughters go to the dentist for regular check-ups without me there to hold their hands
- let go of all of my pre-conceived notions and expectations of what I would accomplish during my vacation and just RELAX.
- practice Tai Chi on the beach by myself even though other people were walking by
- stop procrastinating and set up appointments for yearly routine medical testing
- trade in my trusty old Blackberry for an iPhone (learning new technology doesn't come easy for me!)
I hope you all found your words manifesting in your lives!
Here's my tracker for July - you can tell it was an unusual month for me:

So you are telling me that you can practice Tai Chi alone amidst a crowded beach but you are nervous about hanging up a little post it note at home??? Just kidding you. I think you are doing wonderfully with your word. :) Way to go!
Quite sure you'll love the iPhone!
You accomplish more than anyone else I know, even when you think you didn't get enough done. I am always in awe of you. Proud and amazed.

What a good reminder to think about my one little word and put it back in the forefront.

Welcome to the world of iPhones - if I could learn how to use it, you can, too! In fact, Robbie jokes that I'm addicted to mine after all that resistance to getting one! LOL
Great post, I think you did really well and to keep a note of it is amazing. I am sure you will fall in love with your iPhone :)
