I’d reply to each person, explaining I wasn’t sure exactly how this would pan out, but I was so thankful they’d shared their story with me. The article didn’t go anywhere at first, but the project kept moving along. As months went by, the stories would trickle in. Humans are remarkably resilient, and life itself takes a whole lot of guts to get through, whether people fully realize it or not. In each of the stories I read about incredible courage, even when those who submitted them justified away any semblance of bravery.īut oh, people are so, so brave. Each story that was submitted hit me straight in the heart - some stories were empowering, others heart wrenching. The project was something I started rather casually (and quite by accident), collecting stories of everyday bravery and sharing them via the project’s Facebook page. Awhile ago, a reporter reached out to me about the Show Me Your Brave project.
