I love Brave Girls and have been to Brave Girls but I’m in need of a tune-up!!! I can’t wait for the class to begin!
I love Brave Girls and will be doing the Soul Restoration class in January. Thanks for featuring these two amazing women.
I’m intrigued and curious about Brave Girls…but also a little scared. What an amazing journey these women have taken.
Your workshop sounds wonderful. I would like to enter my name for a chance for one of the tuitions ya’ll are giving away. I lost my beloved husband just over a year ago. We had been going through a really rough time and had just moved in with my family. We were totally broke. He had just started a new job when he had a heart attack. For the last year my heart has been as good as dead. My art of choice is crazy quilting. I love embroidery and beading along with the hand stitching. It brings me a modicum of peace. My husband was my greatest supporter and enjoyed not only watching me work, but also giving me ideas and helping me over creative blocks. Now I don’t know where to start sometimes. I would love to take your online workshop and see if I can’t lift this thick veil of shadows from my heart and learn to rejoice in the memories of our life together.
Love this wonderful idea that will be able to reach thousands of women!! Can’t wait to be able to take it myself :)
I joined the Daily Affirmations earlier this year and have found them to be indispensable. I’ve hooked so many of my girlfriends onto the dailys coz they’re so addictive. I would love to do the online course. I’m in Australia and my youngest is severely autistic. My public face is mostly upbeat and brave, but in private it’s quite the opposite. Whenever we have a breakthrough or minute glimmer of hope, something comes down and crushes that. It makes it very hard to enjoy any steps forward he has. I’m hoping the course will Restore my Soul and make it sing again.
I’m still trying to figure out where I fit in as an artist. Taking this course would certainly put me on the right path to discover the true artist within. Thanks so much for the chance.
I have a WWC button on my sidebar
OH I have been wanting to come to Brave Girls Camp for quite a while – just haven’t been lucky enough to get there.
You ladies have done so much for so many brave girls – I’ve heard such great things from Cheryl W. Margie and others who say you have to do this for you … it’s so worth everything no matter what you have to do it.
I would love to be able to .. and would love a chance to win
The Daily Truths speak to me in such a timely way. It’s almost eerie how ON TARGET they are.
Would love to win a spot in the class.
Since I can’t get to an actual retreat anytime soon, I would love the chance to do the on-line workshop! :)
You had me at “where we combine art + life to help each other create the phenomenal life that our hearts are screaming for”! This looks like an amazing opportunity and I would love to try an online retreat!
I discovered Melody and Kathy just this year. They are so inspiring and creative. I have worked in the legal field for fifteen years and see lots of sad things in my job since our attorneys represent poor people. Sometimes it can be overwhelming. I need a class like Soul Restoration to refresh and renew!
My dream is to one day be able to experience the Brave Girl Camp… if only it was closer. But until then Soul Restoration online would be awesome.
I would love to experience Brave Girls! It looks so exciting and inspiring!
The online workshop sounds just like what I am in need of I need a nudge to make my surroundings beautiful and live life with joy every day. I don’t want to take the life I have for granted.
I’ve had a lot of negative in my life lately and feel that I am stuck in that pattern. I need an attitude adjustment to shake things up and turn my thinking around.
What a wonderful opportunity you are giving us! Even for the ladies that don’t win, you’re providing a place for all of us to gather…online!
Thank you!!!!

brave girls camp changed my life in so many ways… if you can’t attend a real camp.. take the online course. Your life will never be the same… xoxoxoxo every woman out there needs this… YOU NEED IT. XO
This class looks absolutely fantastic! I would love to take this class because I’ve been married for 18 years and have 4 children that I’ve been homeschooling for almost 11 years. It’s time to find some of “me” again.
Wish I could go sometime sounds inspiring. Melody, I sell for Rendi and my 4 yr old saw your “about Melody Ross” info cards and said to me “this is a cowgirl, mommy”. LOL I had to share that with ya.
There have been so, so many painful things in my life and The Brave Girls Club has honestly helped me work through so much of it. When I discovered Soul Restoration I just knew it was something, somehow, I had to experience. You are both doing such beautiful work. Thank you.
After a looong hiatus, I’m once again beginning to play with art. Every day I make time to play, and it is definitely nurturing my soul. I would love a chance to join The Soul Restoration online workshop to continue my journey of “rebooting” my spirit.
How have I not heard of Brave Girls before? What a blessing you two girls are to those who are searching for that side of themselves. I lost my mother this year to cancer. I cared for her every day for the last month of her life. My sister and I took turns sleeping in her room for the last week. I slept beside her on the floor holding her hand listening to struggle for every breath. I watched as her two older sisters gathered around her, numbed by the fact that my mom, their little sister, was the third one to succumb to cancer. I whispered her home. And, in the process, I lost me. That is what happens- you lose yourself when you serve others. But, the part of me that was creative and expressive has yet to return. I make things but they are not sparked by the joy that used to drive me. Instead, they are made automatically, not emotionally. I wish I could go to the place where that part of me is hiding. She needs to come out again.
Thank you for featuring these beautiful girls and showcasing their gifts. It sounds like every woman, young and old alike, needs to attend a Brave Girl Camp. We all have our own ‘stuff’ that we deal with every day so rubbing shoulders with other shining souls & being reminded of our essence is essential. I would love to attend! Please sign me up for your giveaway….
I would LOVE to win this workshop! I can’t afford to go on a weekend trip, but an online class would be so much fun. Thank you for having an opportunity to win free tuition! :)
Your Brave Girl camp has been on my wish list for a long time and you are such beautiful, wonderful women!!!

Would love to be able to attend a Brave Girls Club session. It looks so inspiring and motivating. I think we all have something that we wish to restore :) Thanks for offering this giveaway.
i would LOVE to win this! Melody and Kathy are so so so deeply inspiring to me. thank you for the opportunity!!
I am the Director of Adult Discipleship at my church and work closely with Women’s Ministry. I am interested in this workshop for my own restoration and growth and to be able to suggest it to women who need it in my congregation.
I”m totally in love with the Brave Girl ideology!
wow this sounds too good to be true.. Im going to have to invest some time and really ‘listen’ to their blog
I have the WWC button, yea!!!!
As someone who is struggling to cope and understand why she was chosen to have a dengerative muscle disease, I could really use some soul restoration. Everyday it is a struggle for me to just get thru the day. Under the covers with eyes filled with tears seems to be my happy place. I found BGC and look forward to the daily truths more than you will ever know.
I love my Brave Brave Girls!
This is absolutely the most authentic womens organization I have ever been a part of.

I am a BraveGirl in Africa. I would love to join in the 6 week soul restoration BraveGirl online course. I am a working mom, and I’ve been neglecting my spirit. I do not make enough time for me, and I think this online course would be just the thing to jump-start an investment in myself.
I would love to attend the online class to continue to follow Melody and Kathy’s message! Thank you for the chance to win!
I added the WWC button to my blog…thank you for the chance to win!!!
I added the TCC button to my blog….thank you for the chance to win!!!
I had never heard of Brave Girls until this morning. I feel so inspired reading your blog. This is a wonderful organization for women and I would love to be a part of it! Thank-you so much for all that you do! Love, Kim
Melody and Kathy are just amazing at what they do. I was lucky enough to attend BGC in February, I still have a long ways to go but it has helped me to start my journey of moving forward.
I would love to take part in the on-line class. I am happy to say four of my friends have enrolled and even though I’m sure it will be just a glimpse of what they will get out of the retreat I am happy they have taken this first step.
I would love to join them by winning this:)
I am so excited about this. I would LOVE to take the online class and do a retreat. I feel like after marriage and 4 kids I don’t have much time and I get stuck trying to pursue all my ideas at once. Which leaves me no time to do anything. I would love to rediscover myself and live life again. Thanks for the opportunity! I hope I win!
Trying to gauge my hubby’s reaction when I tell him I want to go to the BGC!! lol! Truly amazing. Thanks for being such an inspiration and wishing you girls continued success!
I need an MOT. I need to find myself again so I can be a better mum. I would LOVE to do your online class. Thank you for giving me HOPE & a little bit more courage everyday xx
I would love to go to the retreat, I truly believe art should be meaning ful, be made to be share, and be part of who we are. The retreats sound amazing!
Melody you know I love you and am so excited for this journey you are on. Helping women live a fulfilled life is so rewarding. I am dying to do a retreat with you. Miss being around you; you create this amazing feeling of joy and confidence when around you. I am so happy to see you be a part of something like this and cant wait to attend one day. chrissy lee
At age 43, I feel like my life is filled with constant chaos. I need to find time for ME again. REflectiing, REjuvenating, and REstoring…Ahhhh…
ooh – I love these girls! I already follow the blog and get the daily emails. Always so inspiring. I would LOVE to get a chance to do the course!! eek. why? Because I am almost 43 and a new part of my life is starting since my daughter left for school and I have NO IDEA what to do next.
~sigh~

I would love to take your online class. My life needs a jump start! I recently turned 50, was laid off and have been out of work for a year and a half and am trying to deal with my kids getting older and moving out and on their own. Not an easy time for me…I’m kind of stuck both in my life and creativily.

I follow Where Women Create!
I’m a follower of the bravegirlsclub blog.
I’ve encountered some new life altering challenges that Brave Girls could help me positively address.
Thanks for a chance to win this giveaway!
While I love my husband and family, it’s often hard to find time to create, to find out what I am truly capable of being. I often feel like I’m getting older without having accomplished anything or spent any time creating anything… What a lovely way to MAKE time to do just that!
I would love to take this course because I’m in the process of closing a huge chapter in my life and I’m trying to figure out how to reclaim myself.
I would love to come to the workshop/camp but I am a little scared also because I have never communicated well with women. I read the daily truth and blog every day and every day I cry — I seem to cry a lot and I am uncomfortable with the feeling that I am missing something. I don’t know what I am missing but I think this community might know. Thanks for the chance to win!
I have been receiving the daily e-mails for a couple of weeks now and I find them to be so inspiring and thoughtful. I would absolutly love to have the opportunity to come to one of the retreats to get the full experience. I’m thrilled for the oportunity to take the on-line course!!
Wow! I am in complete awe of what and who the Brave Girls are. I was completely inspired by each beautiful girl who spoke on the video. I am a brave girl who was made to create… and I do, but I have been held back, by life. (as wonderful as my life is)I struggle and get back up and smile, but I am in need of healing again and I believe that art and the act of creating heals. I have recently had a life-changing epiphany and I know with all of my heart that my coming upon the Brave Girls Club was not an accident or coincidence. Bless you for what you are doing. Yay! Yay! for you two and your family. I celebrate you and all the women who have gone through your retreat.
Besides being an artist, wife and mom I am also one of the two creators and publishers of Mermaids of the Lake, an online magazine for women. We also have a blog of the same name. Our goal is to inspire and support our fellow women to be all that they are, want to be and can be. Thank you for doing this for women. I am going to link you on our blog, follow you on Twitter and Facebook!!!!!
i am totally standing on my chair cheering you on! amazing women doing amazing things!!!!

I just found the Brave Girls Club and I feel that it has come into my life just when I was ready to give up. The beautiful words in their posts have truly helped me think more positively about my life. I feel less anger towards myself. I wish so much to be able to win the on-line class. Even at my age, in my situation, I am hopefull. I have always loved being creative and that has gotten me through some rough times in my life. Thank you so much for BGC…;)
i would love my daughter to attend the online retreat she is a very brave girl so if i won i would give it to her…bought my spot the very first day.
I would love to someday attend Brave Girls. It looks like a life changing, inspiring, positive and fun journey with other like minded women who just want to live life without so much baggage. I would love letting go of the no so good and heal. I would love to win one of your class tuitions as money is more than tight these days.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Brave Girls!!!

I love the daily truths for Brave Girls Club and would love to be able to go to a camp BUT with the waiting list so long would love to experience a part of what they do with the online class!
These two Brave Girls started a beautiful movement that is blessing so many. Looking forward to your on-line class and prayerfully all your dreams come true! <3
This online course looks so interesting. I love the Brave Girls blog and daily emails, they are so inspiring as are the stories about retreat experiences. I would love to be able to participate!
I’m a new twitter follower!!!
I have two adult children and a little grandson moved back in and living with us. Love them all, but it has added lots of additional stress to the house, me and our 15 year old dd. My daughter and I would both enjoy this online course and have time together.
tweeting about these amazing women now!!!!

I don’t remember how I stumbled upon your blog but I am thankful everyday for doing so. I have raised my 19-year old daughter by myself and have made her self esteem a priority. I signed her up immediately for your daily messages! It’s so important to have sources to turn to keep your emotional well full and your emails and blogs certainly do that! Thank you! I would love to attend one of your camps but more importantly I would love to be able to send my daughter, Grace. What a gift to be able to surround her with creative, positive women!
WWC & TCC buttons are in place!!!!
I love BGC blog & would so love to go to a retreat. Great spotlight of 2 beautiful creative women
I would love to go to one of your retreats, however if I won one I know that I would gift it to another person that absolutly could not afford to go because it would change their life.
I would love to win to feel more connected with women who are getting through every day with joy.

WOW! I can feel the spirit and love coming from each person who spoke in the video. I could feel the pull in my heart drawing me to want to survive and grow. It was like a movie playing in my head with alot of my heartaches flickering before my eyes, really showing me the negativity I walk around with.
I so hope I win.
You have somehow managed to capture the essence of living out your dreams…because we often hesitate out of fear. To live them means first being brave … amazing how such a small word captures the depth of what you are teaching others. I would love to come to one of your camps or classes to help me find the way back to living my dreams every day.
i would love a chance to win!!
i first heard about brave girls last year when my friends jeanne, lissa & becky hooked up there.
the entire weekend sounded incredible
i love creating & journaling but rarely make the time to do so. blogging yes, painting & writing -no.
would love to come one day, meet amazing women & just be filled up!

I just saw your link on a Where Women Create facebook posting. It’s so exciting to know that people like you are out there. For those of us who are just beginning to be brave enough to call what we do art, it’s really helpful to have an opportunity to learn. What I would hope to learn is how to explore new ways of tapping into my own artistic resources to express ideas and feelings artfully
What a fabulous concept! I live very isolated and this might help to not feel so alone.
I have a WWC button and link on my blog.
I have a TCC button and link on my blog.
What an awesome thing you are doing! I love it!
I love Brave Girls and all the fabulous paper things you make Melody! I’m laying on my couch with two broken ankles and a leg bone with my three year old playing around me. It’s pretty tough here for us right now and I surely could use this online magic to let the sunshine back in. hugs!
This workshop comes a very opportune time. It sounds like just what I need!
I want to be a brave girl! I have been exploring my creative side for over two years and recently finished my third major project of the year. I am ready to keep going and look forward to your daily brave girls e-mails as I continue on my creativity journey. You girls ROCK!
I want to be able to live more like the following quote. My husband and I have had a couple of real hard years and everything is suffering. I would love to be able to work on me and my art to help to find out who I am and my purpose in life. I would love to be able to part of the Brave Girls club.
I just saw you guys this morning on the Where Women Create site and the quote is from Melody’s FB site.

My dream is to go to Brave Girls Camp someday! I see how life changing it is for everyone that goes. I have had one rollercoaster of a year. My husband and I have been trying for years to get pregnant and this June we found out we were pregnant. I lost the baby to a miscarraige in July. Not a day goes by that I don’t ache to hold my little one in my arms. My heart is broken but I am holding on to faith that someday we will have a child. I know God has a plan for us even if I don’t see it. I know your class will be good for my soul! Thank you! You are both a true blessing to everyone!
just saw your link on WWC f/b – love all you are doing and would really like to join in on the on-line course or someday be a camp participant!
I would love, love, love to either attend one of these workshops or take an online course – as a creative person, I’m struggling with finding my creative “voice” lately and the bravery I need to just sit and listen to myself to figure out where/what/who I want to be. I want to find my wings.
Also added a blog button to my blog. ? Loved the video.

I am going through a divorce after 29 years of marriage. We had 6 beautiful children, I love so much. I lived with abuse, most being severe emotional. I found myself at the most horrible place, wishing that my life would end. God gave me the strength to stand up, be brave, and get out of my situation. I had been a very creative person, but lost the mental energy. I so desperately want to find me again, heal, and be happy. I would like to know more about your online workshop and how to be brave about being me.
Thanks
Honestly? I have lived with fear my whole life. I have come aLONG way in the last many years but growing up in it/living in it….well, fear just holds me back. It’s become my comfort zone. I AM trying to break free, and little by little I see progress. But I guess I just don’t believe in myself enough to ….put myself out there. The world is a scary place. Yes. I would love to take the online class. I would love to attend bg camp. I would love to just grow up and be brave!
The last two years have been rough for my group of girlfriends. We’ve all faced so many challenges and made it thru them together. We share the daily truths and often say how it feels like you are in our heads when writing them. I’m going to sign up for the online class, but I would like to be entered for the free one, to give to my friend Liane. She’s had the roughest year of us all and she deserves to have something for herself. She’s a strong amazing woman and has been a great role model and friend and she often mentions if she were rich she would love one of your retreats.
I remember first discovery Melody & her Chatterbox line many moons ago! My rediscovery of her over the past year or so through Facebook & the Brave Girls Club have been amazing. She inspires me so much. I hope to some day attend one of her camps & meet her personally. The love & light she sends out into the universe is just amazing. I know she loves me even though we’ve never met :)
Since hitting 40, I’m finding that the friendship and bonds with women is more important than ever. I would love to expand and grow, creatively, spiritually and emotionally.

I would LOVE to take part in this on line course. I truly believe art heals. I was a teacher before I had my amazing little baby – he’s three now. I didn’t have any time for art when he was small. I am just now getting back to feeling a little bit of my creative light come back to life. I used to matter to 60 kids each day and now I matter to the most important human being to me – my son. I want to be the best, most healthy person for him. I try to show him art and foster his creativity. Taking this course would help me rekindle the fire inside me which would – I’m sure – envelope my son too. I try to teach him that there is beauty everywhere – I would also like to show him there is some inside me too. Thank you for this opportunity!!!
It’s great to learn about you both and the wonderful work you are doing! I’m looking forward to learning more from the online course. I’ve finally embraced my creative voice and am amazed at the wonderful ways my life is unfolding before me. I look forward to continuing down this path and what I can learn from both of you. Thank you for being an inspiration!

I’m following TCCevent on twitter @krilper
I’d love to learn more about the club and the camp, I am just started to follow the journey of my creative heart and need all the encouragement I can get!
I’m at a point where I am ready to deal with the things I have been through and get on with who I’m going to be and what I’m going to do. I would love for the class to be my very own kick off party!
I would dearly love to take the online course or attend one of the workshops. It’s been a tough year and I need help overcoming my creativity paralysis and tackling my fears. I already get the Brave Girls emails (love them!) and read the blog. :)
Thank you for introducing these ladies to me….I would love to win a chance for the on-line class.
Your blinkie is on my blog.
So glad to have found Brave Girls Club. I just watched the video and the course is exactly what have been needing. I would truly love to join in with an amazing group of women and bathe in the healing, comraderie and creativity!
I am taking this and cannot WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It would be fabulous to attend A Brave Girl’s Camp…I know I would love it! I would love to have the opportunity to be a part of The Soul Restoration online course. After going through quite a few LIFE transitions in the last couple years it is now time to focus on “finding” myself again and moving forward with a clear vision for myself. Being creative is a great tool for soul exploration! My fingers are crossed!

I need to come to a retreat to continue healing my soul from years and years of craziness in my life. I’m in the process of “resetting” my soul and this would help me on the process.
Help!
It would be wonderful to attend the Brave Girl’s Camp! I would love a chance to win the online course also. You are amazing women!!
I have blogged about it here.

I have been wanting to go to retreat since I heard about the first one from Teresa. I would love to be rewarded with this class.. I think these Kathy and Melody are doing a wonderful job. They are really listening to God, and he is greatly rewarding them.
Thank you!
These sound like wonderful workshops. The online course would probably work better for me because I a distance in a rural area. Thanks for generously offering the giveaway.
One day I would love for my two daughters and I to attend the Brave Girls camp, it is just what we need. But until then I will continue to read the daily post and try to take the online class. Thank you for featuring these two amazing women!
The retreats are awesome! I have so much work yet to be done!!!!!
I had the incredible opportunity to be part of the original Brave Girls practice camp, and am so blessed to be able to call Melody and Kathy my friends. I hoped so desperately to make it over there in Feb but as each day passes it looks less and less likely. I’d love to participate in the ‘Soul Restoration’ because it truly is the only way for a women to artfully be restored!
Thanks WWC for giving more women the opportunity to find out about BGC and the opportunity to be part of it.
I TOTALLY need a refresher and am intrigued completely by Brave Girls. Would LOVE to take part! Thanks!

Wow! I’ve worried in the recent past that this medium would play itself out but just the opposite seems to be happening!!! You, Jo, and now The Brave Girls, pluse so many others are continuing to inspire, motivate, and share creativity. Art literally saves my life and having so many more and more wonderful women involved is encouraging, and, again, most importantly, inspiring. Thank you for all you do.
I would love to attend a Brave Girl retreat, but since I live in Canada, that might be difficult. The next best thing would benthe online course. I need something in my life that’s not connected to work, the masters degree I’m almost finished, or my severely depressed (and unmotivated) 18 year old daughter. I need to figure out where I’m going and, possibly, who I want to be.
I have been struggling a bit in my relationship with my husband and would love to be able to take this online class. I have loved Melody since her Chatterbox days–she is amazing!

Here’s to a Brave New (Girls) World!!
This is wonderful! It’s as though you’ve read my mind! I have been working lately on realizing my dream, selling my art and other creations online and altho’ some people tell me it will never work, I know that I have to keep chasing this dream and bring it to fruition! We lose ourselves to our other “identities” always taking care of everyone else first. Now, it’s my turn and while I’m a little timid and unsure of how to go about this, I’m working hard every day to learn and network more. I know I will gain the confidence and knowledge I need now that I’ve discovered Brave Girls! Thank you! ~Leena~
This sounds like a wonderful opportunity to embrace ourselves, and then share that warmth with those that surround us. Thank you!
I have lost a part of my soul that I can’t seem to get back. I am having a very difficult time.. still grieving over the loss of my daughter.. I am always angry.. I used to be so free-spirited and playful… I need that back…
I look forward to the Little Bird Daily Truths so much…I can only imagine how great the course would be.
I love Melody and Kathy and the Brave Girls Club. I haven’t had the opportunity to go to a Brave Girls Club Retreat yet, but I am so excited that my name was drawn as a winner last week for The Soul Restoration Online Class. I am so thrilled and excited for whoever wins this wonderful class here on your blog.
Oh how I would love to take one of your online courses. I am so busy taking care of everyone else these days, I have hardly any time left for me in my life. I know it’s sad, and I have vowed to turn things around. This would be the perfect way to begin. Please, pick me!
I just had a significant birthday & wonder where life takes me from here. I am on my way to read about the online workshop. I just love how the internet has brought women together. A lot I hate about it but just LOOVEE this part!
That would be so cool! I could use a creative push! :)
I’ve been so intrigued by this Brave Girls movement. I think that what you ladies are doing is Fabulous!!
Life has been a struggle for the past 3 years, with many health issues in our family. I went through a depressing time with it all, but I’m feeling much better these days, things are looking brighter :)
I find myself lost though, wandering aimlessly.
I’m not a book reader, so I find bible studies hard, but have this great idea to start doing a bible study through art, I just don’t know where to start.
I’m hoping that doing this style of bible study will help me find myself and most importantly God again.
I’d love to take the online coarse, it sounds amazing!! but money is tight right now.
Hoping to find myself again through art.
Thanks so much for all you do Brave Girls
2010 was not kind to me in the least. I had several setbacks, experienced pain, loss, heartbreak and sadness that lasted for several months and still is. It was like I fell into the ocean and every time I swam up to the surface for a breath, another big wave hit me and knocked me back into the sea. I’m a strong person but I feel lost. I want to use 2011 as a chance to restore myself and my life. In order to get different results, you have to do something different. I would cherish tuition to this class because for one I can’t really afford it and it would be an amazing way to get back to where I want and need to be. And for two, getting myself back is priceless. Thank you.
I just blogged about The Brave Girls Club

What a great opportunity to grow! Thank you for this opportunity!
I also “liked” on Facebook :)
Tweeted too!
I would to take the online class or come to a camp because after a long tough few years, I am trying to redirect my creative energy and get my visions and ideas flowing and continue to build my deeper connections with my art. Melody’s blog lifted me out of a darkness almost a year ago with her 10 miracles and I would love to build on what I have begun since.
I would love to be encouraged this way!
Brave Girls Club looks so amazing!!!
This seems like a wonderful chance for change in the new year. So I will take a shot and enter as improbable as winning may seem.
I love your Brave Girls Camp! What an incredible event & I totally understand how it fills up so quickly. It would be wonderful to be a part of this—we all need to be brave and follow our dreams! Sometimes we just need to be reminded who we really are. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!!
I attended BGC in May & it really helped me heal my broken heart. I lost my three year old son to cancer & he was my life & best friend. I have known Melody & Kathy for over 15 years. They are the most authentic women in the entire Universe. I know BG will change the world…one woman at a time. We all need to Restore our souls. I urge you to make the goal of attending & do it! I am so grateful I had the opportunity to attend & take the time for myself. I came home a better Wife…Mother…Sister..Friend…person!

I would love to be a part of Brave Girls Soul Restoration. I read the FB posts and the daily emails and they are so uplifting for me. I’ve recommended the FB page to many ladies. I try every day to be a Brave Girl.
I have been honored to have enjoyed the opportunity to actually meet Melodie at the summer CHA show in Chicago last July. And an awesome friend and coworker, Amy Anderson was honored to have actually attended a Brave Girls Camp along with her mom. Amy has shared wonderful comments with me about her experiences. If I ever were lucky enough to have the time to attend or be honored with winning a scholarship, I think I would feel like I had died and gone to heaven. Having that special time to spend with other females, to share our talents, thoughts, emotions, laughter, prayers, and good times would be totally awesome. Perhaps one day . . . I can keep dreaming! Thank you both, Melodie and Kathy for sharing your creative efforts to enrich the lives of so many women.

I work with broken down teenage girls every day. I strive to keep myself “healthy” so I can help them fill their empty cups. I would love the opportunity to experience Brave Girls in any capacity, so I can make my light shine brighter for them. The motto for my school this year is, “Be the change.” I think BGC would give me the tools to do exactly that. Kudos to you ladies and what you do!
Just blogged about it: http://amybeads.blogspot.com! Crossing my fingers for this win! Love the idea of an online workshop for this retreat!
been a huge fan of Melody’s for over 10 years.. been privelaged to read her blog and how she has overcome all that she has been through. She inspired me alot when my daughter fell ill, we had a suicide in our family and the last 18months my husband was unemployed (been there..got the shirt officially for tough & trying times) .. my dream is to be able to go to the actual camp – taking the course would be awesome too!
But if Melody reads this I want to leave her with this quote …
“There is great joy when God answers your prayers. There is even greater joy when God uses you to answer someone else
I’m intrigued by the Brave Girls concept that we can restore ourselves…and need that confidence to move forward with my photography. This class sounds just like what I need to keep moving forward.
On Jan 14, 2010 I wrote What could I do if I didn’t live in fear. I was determined for 2010 to be the year I live for ME. I remember lying in bed typing the word fear and tired of being trapped by such a little word. Sadly that little word still has me tied and bound. I just happened to stumble across this blog and I know it was for a reason. This year has left a trail of hurts and pains but I need to be restored and I know that this workshop will get me on the path. I would love to be considered for the free tuition. What an amazing awesome gift you are giving so many!

and my final entry, I have been signed up for the daily truths which is my “spriritual food” that I look forward to!! I would love the opportunity to win this because I really am coming along on what has been a difficult journey..but I still have a lot of healing to do. I know that this will help me.
I’m 100 on the blog…what a fantastic place to see creative women! Love it.

What a compelling concept! I would love the opportunity to attend a regular workshop of take the online course. I’m winding down toward retirement and want to take advantage of the time and opportunity to blossom like never before.
lovely community of women helping women – glad to be a part and learn more

I just started a new job that I love, but took a HUGE paycut so I don’t have a lot of extra money. I would love to be a part of the soul restoration class!
I would love to attend this “retreat” because I have been listening to the wrong voices lately. I quickly gained back almost 70 pounds by listening to those voices! I need to find ME again.
I live in a very rural area in the midwest and there is no one to share my creative side or anywhere to take any classes to bring myself to a new level of creativity. I lost my daughter earlier this year and I think taking this online class would help me be braver.
I became more and more excited as I read more and more about brave girls club. I like that you encourage women to be supportive of each other and not tear each other down. I am nearing retirement age but would like to continue contributing to the world. I am thinking of doing something else but am not sure what it is. Winning one of your online classes would be immensely helpful. My mother died due to suicide when I was two years so I had to provide much of my own support in my life. I tell people about it now and I believe my story can help other people along with making them realize the impact suicide has on the people left behind. People don’t realize the pain the survivors have. They also don’t realize how much of life and its joys they will be missing. I would be honored win one of your online tuition. Thanks for your generosity.

I have always wanted to attend a Brave Girls Camp ever since I learned about them…. it would be hard to just because of where we are in our life… “moneywise”.
When I saw the Soul Restoration class I thought maybe this would be doable… still alittle bit of a stretch financially… but I really would love to create and feel and learn with a bunch of wonderful people! :)
my hubby is a singer/ songwriter waiting and hoping for his dream to come true… I’d like to be able to help inspire him also…
love anne
I’m hitting the dreeded “middle age” and I need to renew my soul I know it’s in there, it has just been lost the last couple of years!!
Hi, I am SO READY for one of your retreats! OR workshops! I can’t wait to learn more! I think it’s a great idea! I teach baking classes at my Pink Retro Vintage Kitchen!…I’d love to host you here in Upstate New York! I will support and follow you!
Wow…. I love serendipty! I was laid off less than two weeks ago after working for 14 years at a great company. Although, I have some concerns about the unknowns of my future, I’ve been so excited to see what amazing adventures lie ahead. My goal has been to “be still”, reflect, tap into my creativity, and find purpose and passion in this next chapter in my adventure story! How great would it be if I could participate in this fantastic online class or come to a retreat? To be courageous and gracious in the midst of hardship is how I want to live my life. I want to be an inspiration to others! My saying a sweet prayer of hope to be a part of this community of Brave Girls!
This will sound sappy but I cried reading this. I filed for divorce this very afternoon and when I read bravery is
This entry won’t be as long or emotional as my last! WWC is linked on my blog. Thanks again!
For far too many years, I have been caught up in doing the things that “society” tells me I should. Part of it was because I was hiding from my true self, my artist, because my artist was hurt at a very early age (6). In the last year my life has changed drastically and I have had the opportunity to really listen to what GOD is calling me to do. I love being with women, but for so long, I have not had many friends, especially creative ones. I would so love to open myself up to my true being and to be able to support and love other women through their journey to self. BGC touches a cord within me. It stirs up my soul. It speaks to my true self. Not just for what I will get from it, but what I will be able to give. I haven’t had that opportunity for so long and truly I just want to be around other women who are growing and learning and creating.

Why would I like to attend Brave Girls…. Hmmm…. there are just so many reasons, but mainly, I think because I love the whole premise of what Brave Girls Club is about–helping women become themselves again, through the things that make us the wonderful creatures we are!

i wish so very much it was as simple as getting on a plane to idaho… to become lost, totally immersed, into the momentum of Bravery. Brave Girl Camp. Wouldn’t that be a dream?
Alas, the situation here is… complicated. Trips away from home cannot happen right now. Nevertheless i still dream! Still i wish to leap into this brave discovery. Both feet. Restoration… because it seems i need the prompt reminding me that… this moment is my life.

Your workshop sounds amazing and just what I need for a little restoration in my life after this holiday season.
The video was so uplifting and I am very excited for this to start.
Hope I win the free tuition but will give myself this gift for Christmas if I don’t
Bless your spirits.
My BFF linked me to you, amazing! I had no clue that someone did this online, everyone needs this! See you in January one way or another!!!!
I would love to attend and find MY voice again. Thanks for the opportunity.
love this…
such energy..and creativity!
like i said in my re-blog, i love that i can still find things that touch my soul every day!
you ladies have accomplished that this moring!
thank you!
Am I too old, at 54, to be a Brave Girl? I don’t think so.
As I watch this video, I see all of these brave girls as they were as children as well as the beautiful women they are today. Perhaps it is because they have all found such a place of peace and freshness? It is beautiful! I registered for the Soul Restoration workshop a few months ago. I did not have the money, but knew I needed to do this. I think it is the best purchase I made this year and I can’t wait for the workshop. To have a chance to actually come to camp? Now THAT would be AWESOME. The daily truths have literally saved my day countless times, and just knowing that I AM a brave girl has changed my perspective so much already. Thank you!
Several months ago, during a very difficult point in my life, a dear friend introduced me to your FaceBook page. Each morning I pray to God that He would speak to me the message that I need for that day. Many mornings after that prayer, I feel led to check my FaceBook page, and nearly every time, you have posted a new “Little Bird” message. I am in awe at how clearly God is using you in my life. Thank you for being you, and for being a voice for God in my life. Although I would LOVE to attend one of your retreats, either in person or online, I am still being ministered to you even from my office chair. (Of course, I would still LOVE to win admission to the online retreat!) I pray that God continus to bless you and your ministry.
Hallo – I would love, love, love to attend this – the lady coommnet nr 99 summarize it so perfectly – “I want to find my wings~!
Wow…I’m so excited…I found your website.I’m going to tell my friends about this. I so want to attend a camp…can’t believe they are all filled up so guess I’ll do the next best thing and do the online course.Can’t wait for some restoration, I surely need it!
I believe this course is my calling. A sort of destiny that yearns to be fulfilled. In loving gratitude for what I already receive through “a lil’ birdie” that tells me such necessary thoughts everyday!! I wish to acknowledge my Brave Girl, and truly experience the power of this wonderful joy!
Been a “brave girl” follower for awhile now. Life has thrown me a curve ball, and now I need to “live” it!
this is a great site, so glad I stumbled across it
This sounds like an amazing journey, and I would be honored to come there, or take the on-line course, and to restore my soul. Thank You so much Brave Girls Club.
I Love You!
I’ll love to be enter in the giveaway!!! I’ve being through a lot the past couple of years and need to start believing in myself again!!!
thank you for the opportunity!!!
best regards,
Wanda
I am ready for a new creative opportunity, so your online course sounds like a great opportunity. :)
Thanks for the chance!
Happy creating,
Birgit
The workshop sounds wonderful. I don’t have a hardship story to share, but definitely could use some of the wonderful concepts, and creative nurturing that you have to offer in you workshop, as I’m sure many women can. You have a wonderful, much needed area that you are fulfilling. My best to you for future success! Thank you for sharing.
What an incredible offer! I love Idaho — my sister lives there and I visit often. There are many days in my life I face a challenge I think I can’t master and I am constantly reminding myself that I am just as capable as others and that there is always the help I need if I’ll just reach out for it.
I am new to this site and I would love to take this course! I mainly scrapbook but also do jewelry and for the first time working on an art journal! God has helped me thru many things and I find peace and comfort when I’m doing these things.
Love the chance to win a spot in the Soul Restoration class. I feel like I’m starving for creativity. Thank you for the very inspirational video.
I would love to attend this workshop. It is just what I need. I feel like in the past few years I have lost who I am and need to reconnect with myself again.
I would love to have this opportunity. I am very interested in the online class.I’ve been trying to take more time for myself and find that when I do I feel so much more relaxed and happy about myself.

HHHHMMMMMM. Where to begin…on Friday November 19th my moher in law invited me to tour an “art studio” on 25th street. I told her no, and then called her back a few hours later thinking what have I got to lose, I really thought we were going to your office to learn organization and new decorating ideas. Well (“that was hardly the case”)… The last two days I have spent DREAMING… You Girls have Changed my life! I am in ahh of all that you do everday and have accomplished. Until I meant you I had never heard of BRAVE GIRLS CAMP. Now I have found my self “goggleing” it twice a day.
THANK YOU – THANK YOU – THANK YOU – for the tour, cupcakes, and shopping! it was just FABULOUS!!!!!
I love what you and your family do!!! You inspire me everyday and keep me going!! You are such a gift everyday – Most Gratefully! Kris

would love to experience Brave Girls, and hopefully come away with new friendships & the courage to put my self & my art “out there”
I would love to do the online six week journey with Brave Girls. It sounds like everyone needs a little “tune up” like I do to get your engine going again! I can’t wait!
I just happened upon your post through facebook today. Sounds a lot like my life right now. I would love to win tuition to your online class. Thanks, Lee Pope
This is the first that I’ve heard of Brave Girls, but I want to learn more. Please enter me in the drawing. That would be a great birthday present to me!
The Brave Girls are so inspiring,I love their Daily Truths email and all the ispiration on their blog. I would love to do the online workshop and hope to do the mother daughter camp one day, my daugher has taught me so much about being a strong brave girl! Id love to share this with her.
Easy, I want to open up my crafty channels. I seem to have this huge block that just doesn’t let me get into a craft. I just always say ,”I would love to do…” and I drives me insane. <3

I would love to win a spot in the class. I want to attend it but even just $100 is not in my budget right now. Winning this class would be awesome!!!!!
Who would not love to join in on the beautiful goodness of a Brave Girl Camp/Retreat!!!! The concept resonates with me and I am so very thrilled that you all are working so hard to share beauty, truth & love with women who desire to be who they truly are and not settle for what others expect them to be. Thanks for all your good work! All joy to you…..
I went to brave girl camp feeling a little dark myself. I had been not able to move on and forgive but with the love I felt I remember the days I had been happy and have love the most. I was able to see patterns of what help me feel happy on my life since my childhood and now I know what to look for and how to turn the dark moments in brighter ones. Is ok to cry but is also ok to laugh. Be there for your family and never stop creating, I’m sure you can bless many lives. Maybe you can have a feelings quilt and let some of your feelings out that way.
how wonderful they are! and what greatness to share it with the rest of us. Congrats on the success and hope I get to enjoy it with you.
I would love to win tuition to the online class. It sounds amazing and inspiring.
I really want to take this course. I’ve been out of work for more than a year. I honestly don’t think I can go back into my field, and I want to start selling on Etsy, but I am terrified. There are a lot of “what ifs” in my life right now. I have six more weeks before my unemployment benefits run out, my COBRA is about to run out, and I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up (I am 46). I love receiving the Little Bird notes every day…they are helping me to become stronger.
Bless you all!
P.S. I have added WWC and a Brave Girls links on my blog. I still cannot figure out how to use badges on blogspot. If anyone can help…!
=^..^= hi sandra
Adding a badge on blogspot is super easy once you know which gadget you are looking for… Especially easy when you are given the code to copy! (I can show you how to do it without a code too if you need, it’s just a little more work.)
:: Follow me ::
1) Cut & Paste. Pick the badge from this page you want to display on your blog … and highlight the code. Copy.
2) Go to your blog, sign in if you aren’t already so you will see the toolbar & click on DESIGN (top right corner.)
3) You should now be on the Add Elements page called, Add & Arrange. Choose which spot you want your badge is to go (you can always move it around later so don’t worry.) And … Click on “Add a Gadget” …
4) Still with me? :) okay, a smaller window should have popped up called Add a Gadget “Basics” and scroll down to find the one that reads “HTML/JavaScript. Click!
5) The new popup window should read “Configure HTML/JavaScript and ask you for a Title (optional … if you don’t want to have any words to describe the badge you are about to put on the blog, leave it blank.) Below that it has a big ‘ol place for “Content” … Click on that space and paste! THAT’S the place to paste that piece of code copied in step one! Once you’ve done that and can see the code … Click the orange button…SAVE!
6) Click on the “view your blog” button! Voila! DONE! You should have a badge on your sidebar!
Holler if you get lost.

I have been following the Brave Girls Club for a long time. I love everything that it represents and teaches. I co-lead our women’s minsitries at our church and would use these lessons to help me in that ministry. I would love to do Soul Restoration. I would really love to do a BG Camp, but that is a big dream!

Soul restoration. What a beautiful sound. I’ve lost the little girl in me and no longer know how to find her, if I ever knew. My art businesses are smothering my joy of creating because they have become a necessary means of economic survival. Soul restoration…sounds doesnt’ sound like something I want, it sounds like somthing I need.
You are so inspiring to all of us out here. My husband has been without work for two years now. I have my own Longarm business, but the economy is catching up to us these days. I am a mother of 5.. they have all gone their own direction in the past few months. Life is sometimes unbearable to me. I have been doing everything in my power to pull myself out of this slump but it has been more than I feel I can do quite often. I am striving with all my power to lift myself up. Sometimes we need the angels around us to help us get there. Usually I am the one trying to help others up. Thanks for giving me a chance for a new outlook at this time in my life. I want to be a bravegirl too and remember who I am and where I started. I would love to attend your course. I feel it could be an answer to the many prayers I have had. I am grateful your out there helping others. Thank you.
I would love to participate in either online workshop or retreat. I think being brave isn’t something that women are encouraged to do and yet, in reality, we are some of the most brave people out there. We are wired for bravery. I think being a part of the BGC would help tap into the inner Wonder Woman we all have.
Who couldn’t use a “soul restoration”?
I follow both on twitter and have the WWC link on my sidebar.
I first Melody’s story at Inspiration Unlimited in Las Vegas…she truly is an inspiration to women everywhere…she shows us that no matter what happens we can get back up and keep going. I would love to take this course because several years ago my father was killed in a car accident…such a shock to our family…you would think as the years go by it would get better but I miss him as much today as I did the day he died…I know this course would help be heal…and that’s what I need…to be healed.
I would love to attend BGC…..I’ve fought through a costly and very painful divorce where the ex terminated his rights to our children. I’ve struggled to come to terms with this and why this would happen as well as I’ve not been able to figure out a way to forgive for what he did not only to the kids but as well as to me. How can someone do that to their own children? I keep thinking I will reach that a-ha moment where I will suddenly figure it all out and the weight will be lifted from my shoulders but that has yet to happen. I am hoping that one day this will happen.

Would love to start the new year off right with some soul restoration! Thanks for the chance to win this incredible prize!
What a fabulous article….I love following the Brave Girls Club blog!!! I will take that online Soul Restoration class someday soon….gotta make sure our daughter’s tuition is paid and other financial shhhtufffs! But then I am sooooo there!!!! LOL
I first discovered Melody through Chatterbox,, then followed her story on her blog. To see the strength, courage and success she had throughout that time is truly inspiring! If Brave Girls will teach me some of that resiliency and peace–then I would love to attend! I would really love to attend a retreat at some point. I need to be unstuck….
oh my what a fantastic giveaway, Melodie is such an amazing person. Would luv to have a spot onto the online class, that would be a great Christmas present.

I have never been a creative person…at least I never thought so. A friend dragged me to a scrapbooking crop…I met a girl who art journals…and does a million other artsy things…she has beat me over the head enough that I will admit to being creative…and maybe even a little bit of an artist! I would love to have the chance to explore my “artsy” side more!
wow what an awesome mission! I know many women who need a little help just making it through the day. This is a wonderful chance to help one of them if I am a winner. Prayers go out for your BRAVERY!
I feel squashed in the support I get at home for my creative outlet. I love to scrap, alter and create. My family (husband and kids) are not always supportive. They think I should get a real job. I think my real job is to be a wife, mom and to create.
I’ve recently just started to hear my small voice in the sea of other voices around me. Your daily truths are so inspiring and usually make my week. I have a dear friend who just went to Hati to help out and I printed a daily truth and put it in a decorated envelope one for each day that she was there – to encourage her. Your inspiring words have been to Hati and back. MUCH LOVE!!!!!!
Ready to start a new life and put cancer behind me. I’m in remission and excited about what lies ahead for me. Being creative and making things as always been apart of my sister and my life. Brave Girl camp would be a wonderful retreat for my sister and I too start a new beginning.
It’s Simple…. Brave Girls club’s Daily inspirational E-Mails have saved my life. I am a mom of a 25 year old daughter, 19 year old son and 7 year old daughter. I’m married and am a caregiver for my 86 year old grandmother and my disabled mom.
Every day when I think I just cant go on… I read your E-mail about strength,or Peace, and persaverance, ect…. and it refuels me for a little longer.
The more I read the more I realize there just has to be more. I’m 44 and feel as though I have never experienced life.
I have lost who I once was. I don’t know if I ever truly got a chance to me her :(
Thank you Brave Girls Club for putting your trials and experiences out there to help other women.
What a blessing you have been to me.
Heidi
I wish I lived close enough to attend a retreat. Maybe one of these days I will fly out for one with a couple of my girls. :). I think it would be an inspiring way to start the new year fresh.
I would love to take this class online, as someone who could really use a kick start to a commitment to my own creativity.
Thanks for the opportunity!
What an amazing thing y’all do! Love the concept and your bravery!
WOW what an opportunity! I would LOVE to come. More than love really…. :) PICK ME!!! I could use some work done on my soul.
I say I am brave – but I want my soul to believe it! I would love to become a BraveGirl!
I would be over the MOON happy if I won! With the economy, and job changes, money is tight! I know I won’t make it to Brave Girls Camp any time soon, but I’d love to take their online class!
I need to get back to basics, and figure out what it is that I “should” be doing and what I am “meant” to be doing.
Through my own journey of trials, and through my profession as a social worker, I would love to learn for myself and others how to utilize the Brave Girls creative process to help those I work with (and myself!) to be brave! Art is a fabulous tool to utilize when the words just won’t come… a perfect therapy to speak to yourself and others your inner struggles, as well as your inner beauty. I <3 Melody for being brave and sharing herself so completely and transparently through Brave Girls. You inspire me!
I keep coming back to the pages to re-read and be renewed in the contentedness that you can feel reaching off the pages ind through the words you both have written and posted. I wish could go to a retreat as could really use a recharge but I’d be happy to do the online class and revel in creating something fun and reinvigorating. If I win wonderful but if don’t then who ever does may just have needed it a bit more than me. Keep being Brave and He will Supply.
I have seen posts about Brave Girls from a friend who has attended. After watching this video and seeing the life changes these workshops have made in other women, it inspires me. I would love to heal some past wounds and it sounds like this might just be the place to do it…
I have been really struggling lately, giving so much, and having a difficult time accepting help when I need it because I’m the strong one… this workshop seems to be just what my soul needs
ok, so this has taken me a bit to think about and it is hard for me to ask for anything ever, as I am sure most of you are the same way. I need to find me, I need to find peace, I need to find out who I am besides a mom of a special needs child. I need to feel something outside of what I have to need to do for my family, I need help finding imagination again, everything I have done for the last 17yrs has been focused on special needs daughter, and I have allowed my youngest daughter to have so little of who I am I have just been lost. I want her to be healthy inside and out, and I would like to use what I learn to help her too. So may I please have a free pass, I just do not have the funds to do this, and we need it, my daughter and I, thank you for the opportunities you all give to each Brave Girl everyday, your words help a lot of us get out of bed:) Thank you…
Thank you for this opportunity. Happy Thanksgiving!
This course talks to my soul and inspires me. I will be taking this course even if I don’t win one. This will teach me how to let go of the past and move into the light and bring more joy into my life and my families life. Melody and Kathy Thank you for doing this and being do inspiring.
What a cool story. I’m from a family of 9 children, too! Have a blessed Thanksgiving…keep creating and give thanks! ~Hugs, Heidi
Brave girls camp is at the top of my dream list, this class would be awesome!
I have a WCC button on my blog
I need an awesomeness expansion!
I attended a weekend retreat earlier this year (a gift from my husband) to Joan Anderson’s “the Second Journey” and that was the beginning of my own brave girls expedition. I am unemployed now and have a thousand dreams and desires but don’t know how to pursue them. Your Brave Girls Retreat has received rave reviews and I hope to one day attend but in the meantime, it would be absolutely fabulous to take your online class. Thanks for all you do to help women believe in themselves, learn to love themselves and to step out of the box we live in and be a bit crazy and wild.
I found BGC awhile back, and from the very first I wanted to experience the camp.
I keep believing that someday I will.
I signed up for the daily e-mails, and I love the encouragement. On more than one occasion I have had tears running down my face after reading them. I pass them on, so that the BGC message will be spread far and wide!
Right now we are living on one income, so I won’t be able to do the on-line course, but I would LOVE to win one. I will be a fan forever, even if I don’t.
Thank you, sweet ladies, for cheering us on.
Blessings to you.
I so love your blog, I just found it yesterday, I was so excited I put your button on my blog..you are so inspiring I would find it a true blessing to take your on-line class. You both are a true blessing. SO glad I found you.
WOW! How have I missed BGC so far? I feel like I was drawn here today, just when I needed it most. I’ve had alot of bad things happen in the last year and I feel like it keeps sucking me down. A chance to attend the online workshop would be amazing. I look forward to following the blog and getting more inspiration to bring the positive back to my life.

I would like to feel brave again some day.
I would love to win the online class! I feel like I’ve lost my creative spark lately. Maybe the reality is I’ve forgotten that it’s ok to make me a priority! I think this class would be very helpful. I need to find my sparkle again!
Thanks for the chance to win :)
