I'm interested to see the enormous variety of risks women have taken through their lives and how you feel they have shaped you. Some risks have positive outcomes – what worked for you? Some have negative - was that because the situation was out of your control or could you attempt the same thing again, having learnt different lessons?
You input could help shape features to come. Please let me know... -

That's interesting you say 'forgiving things that may come back to haunt me…’ I, too, tried to forgive stuff from the past but it has come back to haunt me and seems to have, sadly, only built a bedrock on which to base more current woes. The rest of it is part of life's flow - the greatest risk for me would be NOT to take risks!

Of course I won that... *smug grin*

ECO-CADET SEEKS GUIDANCE…
Determined to do our bit for the planet, a lot of us eco-aware-ish folk are not adverse to getting our hands a bit dirty… but does it have to be SO grim, expensive and time-consuming?
