Meet the #Delhi2013 Dozen: Big Hairy AUDACIOUS Dreamers
|
Terri Wingham is the founder and CEO of A Fresh Chapter, a cancer survivor, and someone who believes that we are not defined by the most difficult aspects of our story. |
When is the last time you put yourself out there in a vulnerable way and told someone about a big hairy audacious dream? Did you pour yourself a stiff drink or chew on your hair before you blurted out the news that you had decided to quit your job, pursue your MBA, or “pull the goalie” and start trying for a baby?
As you heard the words come out of your mouth and saw the surprise light up in the the other person’s eyes, did you immediately wish you could take them back? Maybe you worried about failure and felt the fist of fear pressing against your collar bone.
Today, I want to introduce you to the #Delhi2013 Dozen, a group who probably feel exactly the same way. Each participant has lived through the dark days of cancer treatment and has now chosen to turn a page and embark on a brand new chapter. I am already incredibly inspired by each of them and I think you will be too. (more…)

Congrats to all of you!!! Can’t wait to hear about your adventures.
Thanks Steph! Hope to see you on a future Fresh Chapter Adventure!
I loved reading your stories, I see and hear myself so much in many of them … especially the ‘now what’. I am in awe of all of you and look forward to following your wonderful courageous adventure. It is so wonderful to actually give back, and not just talk about it … you are all living the dream, the big fat hairy audacious dream. You do inspire me.
Lianne – We are so happy to have you with us in spirit and hope a Fresh Chapter Adventure is in your future. Thank you for supporting these 12 Big Hairy Audacious Dreamers. #Delhi2013 here we come.
Big hugs and much love to all of you!
Right back at you girl. You are going to LOVE this group:)
