Every now and then a question comes along that can change the course of a life, a community or even a nation.  A friend once encouraged me to ask myself daily..."What would you do today if you were REALLY brave?"  Somedays nothing comes to me - so I don't go hunting for something brave.  But I must say - there are days that question really brings clarity to my life regarding what I know I must start or must do.  I started giving out a "Really Brave" button each and every day, asking friends and strangers alike, "What would you do today if you were REALLY brave?"...and a movement began to give out buttons and collect brave stories for a "Really Brave" book. 

What is Brave?  Bravery is much more than running into a burning building.  Some courageous people have shared their struggles; of taking an unpopular stand, getting in and out of relationships, of going or not going to war, changing jobs, starting new businesses, and battling diseases.  What is brave to you?  Please share your brave stories with us.  Let us collectively encourage others to consider brave actions as an option to the events in our lives.
