Love from #52DareChallengers:
“Your project has been such a gift to me; it has really helped me to think about how I want to live my life and what is important to me. Perhaps the two biggest things that have happened are that I’ve started to exercise regularly – after 12 years out of the game – and this is so improved my mood and my sense of self. I also decided to take a LEAP into a new career, without an exact plan in place. The world seems to be opening opportunities for me, but I’m not yet settled in a plan. I love being part of this project, thank you.”
“Just wanted to express my gratitude and utmost thanks for the 52 week challenge. I really came out of myself and out of my own head with many of the challenges which I really needed. I was scared, doubtful and anxious about many of the challenges but what a sensational feeling to conquer those feelings and come out the other side feeling
amazing! Some of the dares were simply just acknowledging me, the whole me, as an important person. As someone who DESERVES to take up space in the world and that validation is invaluable. I can not thank you enough. With immeasurable gratitude…”
“Wow, this is an awesome challenge!”
“Tackling 52 dares was an amazing journey. It made my 2015 stand out from all my 21 years. It helped me evolve and become a better person. It really did. Every Wednesday, I would brace myself before opening your emails, to prepare myself mentally for what you have in store for the week. It got me nervous and excited at the same time. All those dares from asking someone out on a date, and saying yes, to writing down my crazy goals, and putting my energy is what really matters, it really did push me out and I feel like it changed me.”
“I just wanted to let you know that over the weekend I participated for the first time in “Open Studios” showing my artwork publicly and even offering it for sale. I have been too afraid to do that in the past but as a result of one of the earlier dares I signed up and went through with it. Thank you!”
“I love these! How refreshing amidst all the crazy emails I get every day.”
“I took the challenge Erin, and I’m lighter and more authentic for having done it. Thank you for igniting the conversation I had with myself. Now on to the next one! With love and gratitude.”
“I’ve been receiving these emails from you and I just wanted to say thank you. Last weeks dare about “asking someone out on a date” was such a huge dare for me, and it really too me out of my comfort zone. I met up with someone I only met once and that was about a year ago. It was very nice, refreshing, and inspirational. I felt like I gained a valuable friend. So thank you, Erin. Thank you for these awesome dares that gave me chances to get out a bit and do things I’ve never really done before. These dares are amazing. I look forward to receiving everyone of your emails every Wednesday with an open heart and determination to take up any challenge that comes to me. These dares will definitely make my 2015 one of the best years.”
“I just LOVE what you have going with the 52 dares! The dares and your accompanying write-ups are fantastic!”
“I also wanted to tell you that I haven’t quite found the words to describe the feeling of getting a letter in the mail from week #4’s challenge. I don’t get around to looking at the mail until the end of the day, and I’d forgotten about the challenge by the time my letter arrived, so I didn’t even recognize it for what it was at first. Then I opened that letter. Oh my. What a beautiful experience, Erin, to get that kind of love in the mail in the midst of the weekly grind. I don’t really have the words, as I say, to describe the feeling of being on the receiving end of that love, but of course it makes me cry every time I read it.”
“I am loving the dares! What a treat to get in my in-box every week. (He) was right – It’s perfect for me!”
“Today I kayaked with manatees in Crystal River, Fl. This past year I’ve had two surgeries on my right wrist to fuse the wrist, and this was the first time I’ve kayaked since before the surgery. I wasn’t sure I would be able to do it at all, but managed with flying colors and the help of the guys at the kayak place getting in and out of the kayak. What a great day, and what a triumph over the challenge! I have photos of me in the kayak, with a huge smile on my face. Thank you for the challenge! I had never kayaked with the manatee before. I feel so empowered to have overcome the limitations!”
“I look forward to getting your weekly dares. They are so inspiring. Keep lifting people up and challenging them. I think we all need an Erin in our lives.”
“Oh my God, I love you! You just gave me permission to relax and rejuvenate (without the guilt) after a wonderful but busy month of celebrating, entertaining and having fun with family and friends. It took me years to learn what you already seem to know… we do need to step back, take a deep breathe and do something for ourselves. My feet are already up and I’m starting tomorrow with a massage. Love you, Girl! Xo”
“What fun – just discovered your 52 Dares thanks to Indie Chicks and the spirit and energy of it is absolutely wonderful. Can’t wait to get started.”
“Walking in the graveyard near my house this morning, I found myself composing a letter to you in my head. I love your dares. I love that you are both gentle and pushy (in the best possible sense) and that you are so clearly on your own journey and sharing it an outward way with ‘your people.’ It’s inspiring. I have not done all the dares. Nor have I posted a damn thing about them. But each one has touched me and made me think and reminded me of all the courage that I have and continue to have in my life on a daily basis. It’s a great thing.”
“Love this one. We will be in Florida on Friday so I will be skipping around the pool!”
“Thank you for creating and executing such a great idea!”
“I was just looking back over the Dares so far, and wanted to say what a lovely, expansive and varied bunch of challenges so far.”
“Thanks for this one. I just sent a request to five people, but I have a feeling I might just keep sending it out to everyone I know! Feeling like I could use some words of encouragement this week and this is a way to get them! Xo”
“I’m grateful for your idea and 52dares. Can’t wait to see what’s next!”
“I love this challenge! Thank you.”
“I REALLY love these Erin, they’re SO great!”
From Coaching Clients:
“The clarity and commitment I have to creating and living the life I want since we began our work together is truly transformative and life affirming. You are an absolute marvel and an inspiration. I can’t thank you enough as I take this tangible step that had felt so out of reach just 9 months ago. How grateful I feel that as I sit on the precipice of my 40th year that I would feel so light.” – Lisa
“I am feeling back on track, thanks to your incredible coaching. Thank you so much for your patience, your sensitivity, and your many skills. I really feel that this process is one of the most helpful things I’ve ever done.” – Elizabeth
“Erin’s optimism, humor, and spirit of adventure make her an ideal guide in the coaching process. With her encouragement, you will be ready to make significant and positive changes in your life!” – Betsy
“I especially appreciate Erin’s intelligence, wonderful sense of humor and the way she always helps me gain a greater perspective. Her coaching has helped me stay on course as I increase self awareness and risk moving to the next level both personally and professionally.” – Ann
“I was attracted to Erin immediately. Erin portrayed herself as both extremely professional and completely compassionate. Erin delivered on both counts. I am a better person from our work together.” – Dorothy
“You are very wise – you always pick up on the undercurrents and I know very few people who can do that well! It is a gift.”- Leslie
“Erin has an especially fine-tuned intuition and sense of timing. Just when I am feeling stuck and think I can go no further Erin finds the “right stuff” and meets me where I am. She is present and “with me” during our coaching calls! This is a special gift, and provides great comfort to me as I reach toward new goals. I am so lucky to have found a personal coach who understands “process” and patiently, honestly and thoughtfully assists me on my journey. Erin has helped me discover…ME!” – Linda
