I can’t wait!!!!!! Over the past 7 years I have shut down and found myself in hiding and almost affraid of those around me. This sucks because I use to be sooo out going. I miss having friends, true friends. I have people that I know from scrapbooking bookclubs and Charity Wings, but if I am not volunteering or at bookclub, I am alone and very sad. So I am hoping that this will help me find me and I am soooo thankful that it is being offered again. I hope this is as helpful as the camps that Elena keeps telling me that I need to go to, but unless I win a lottery (which I don’t play) I would never be able to afford it. But it does sound like a true blessing that you do.
Really really excited… To bad Pay Pal won’t let me pay… UGH… I have never liked them…
I am really excited about both the April and June sessions, I signed up for both! I am SO grateful and hopeful that this will be a wonderful experience. I am trusting this process and praying for my fellow participants. God only knows what we each need and I totally feel like this is an answer to my personal prayers. I would love to encourage anyone who feels isolated, alone or frightened to embrace this experience wholeheartedly. I would love to talk to anyone else anticipating these sessions and get to know you better!
I am so excited you are offering this online event again. This sounds like a wonderful way to get in touch with “who I am.” I too have heard so much about your Brave Girl events. A big thank you goes to Elena from Charity Wings and her “Seaside Soiree” where I was blessed with making your acquaintances and meeting such extremely talented and warm individuals. Several of these individuals shared their personal Brave Girls experiences. Again thank you for extending this opportunity online. Thanks and God Bless.
p.s. Thank you for my daily inspiration. Today’s warmed my heart even more than usual, because when my 9 year old grandson Darius, was asked to describe something about me and his first description was “Sparkly Eyes.”

This is an awesome class – really looking forward to part II this summer! I have met some of the most inspiring women from around the globe….and the thing that really hits home is that we are all working through so many of the same things. I’m so thankful for what this class has given me already and we still have 2 weeks remaining! I plan to share this link with so many Brave Girls – who don’t know just how brave they really are……yet.
~Kathy
I agree with you Kathy. Don’t you wish it was ongoing? It is so amazing and positive. I find myself thinking about the positive growth I have made.
Beverly
I loved this class! how I wish it was ongoing. I’m glad we still have forums, because I need my Brave Girl fix. I am hoping to keep working with some of my new BG friends. I think I will be journaling and working on my Promises book right up until Part 2. I think this was life-changing for a lot of us.

I just finished Soul I and I loved the entire experience and signed up for II. I see that Melody has a new line of papers out that tie in with the class nicely- though not necessary. I really like the way she lays out the class and the way the videos are done. Each component is well thought out and helpful. The process is easy to follow-not so easy to do emotionally, but the exercises are easy to understand and it is easy to see how they are helpful and how they fit into the process. I literally signed up for Soul I five minutes before the sign up closed so I didn’t get the kit and yet I didn’t have a problem using my own supplies from home to make my own minibook and time line. Maybe they weren’t as professional looking and I certainly would have loved to get the kit- I love all sorts of goodies delivered by Fed Ex or UPS. Enjoy yourselves. If you are on the fence I would say take a chance- you’ll be happy you did.
Is the website then only open for that 6 wks or do we have access to it for longer?

I am still working on my Soul Restoration I class and just signed up for number 2. That’s the beauty of the class–you don’t have to “keep up” with the pace (although I’m sure it would be ideal), and you STILL get so much out of it. Melody and Kathy do a wonderful job with the presentation of the course materials…they really have something magical going on here. Thank you, Melody and Kathy.
Hi Ang…the classroom will actually be open for 10 weeks…so you have plenty of time!!!
Can’t wait for part 2. Looking forward to playing again with all my BG friends!!! What a party!
I can’t wait! Last night, my scrap room flooded. All my scrapbooks, projects, pictures, paper, etc are ruined. So, of course, I’m feeling down. All my memories are ruined. I feel so awful right now. I found the mess only hours after signing up for Soul Restoration, but it must have already been like that for hours. My first thought after the initial shock was that some force must have made me sign up for the class, knowing I was going to need it.
I am very excited to be joining ladies from everywhere on this fantastic soul journey! I await for 1 April to begin x
I was sad that I didn’t sign up for the first session and when it started in January I hurt because I knew all those women were doing what I wanted to do but didn’t have the money or the time right then so… I am signing up today!!! Thank you for offering the class again. Oh and thank you for the chance to win all those wonderful things!!! I feel so lucky and blessed.
Thank you!

I really, really wish I could do this right now, because I feel this would really benefit me at this time in my life. However, I have a Mac, and don’t have access to a PC. My workplace is ALL mac-based, so I wouldn’t be able to access any of the materials. Will you be able to offer this in a way that Mac users could access the assignments? Also, will you be offering the first part again anytime soon? I’d love to do it, but I already signed up for something else, and this time of the school year is really busy for me to be doing two art workshops.
Hi, Amy -
You can definitely do Soul Restoration with a MAC! Tons of girls have done it…some have problems opening the PDFS, but we have really thorough, easy to follow instructions right here on our website, and most have no trouble at all. (see the instructions under FAQs in the top navigation bar).
Melody and all the crew use Macs of course. We have the warning on the sign up form so that there is awareness that a little prep work might be necessary in order to be ready to open the secured pdfs. It really isn’t difficult, though.
I hope that helps! I guess I’d better change the warning on the registration so it doesn’t scare Mac users away!!
love,
kathy
When googling the Brave Girls Soul Restoration for the first time, I was routed to the first course registration…I can’t tell you how my heart sank as I thought that there was ‘no way in’…..I emailed Heather A. (who had highly recommended the course) trying to figure out how i could be a part of this journey….Well, being the anxious personality that I am, I went back to Heather’s blog and clicked on her link to your course….The heavens are singing!!! I am SO looking forward to this course/journey…I’ve been working on all that you are guiding and teaching on, and I feel like this will help me find the girl i used to be (no reservations, brave, fun, willing to take chances, open)….This will prove to be my “year” to let my light shine again! CAN’T WAIT!!!
Hi Amy – just want to let you know that I did the whole Soul Restoration 1 on my Mac without any problems at all. Don’t know what your art workshops are but since there is a lot of creative opportunities with SR, you might be able to combine some of the assignments from your classes together with this one – such as trying out a technique on one of your art journal pages. Just a thought. It’s worth it,
OKay I am all signed up with my BFF- shared on FB and looking forward to creating
and being the Best I can Be!!
Thanks Brave Girls
When will be the deadline for Soul Restoration 2. I need to save some money for it and get the supplies I don’t already have. Thank You, Charlotte Becker
Charlotte, Registration will be open until the day before class starts – so it will close on 6/6/2011. <3
I just joined and wondered if there is a way to get in touch with other women in my area who are a part of Brave Girls? I would like to do the online soul restoration and see if there are others nearby me!!
I wish I could afford this. I would love to take it for I know my soul needs restoration.
Amy,
I’m so glad to see that Kathy responded to your MAC concerns so quickly. But, then again, it is so like Kathy to be that way. I had issues in the beginning with open the PDF during Soul Restoration 1, and Kathy was right there for me. She was amazing and the MAC issue did not stop or even slow me down. So, really, don’t even give it more thought. The whole experience was more than amazing for me and Kathy and Melody as so creative, helpful and beyond generous. You will have a BLAST!
Looking forward to the class!! A few more art supplies and then I am ready!!
Thank you Eydie and Donna!!!
I would LOVE to know if there are any CA bravegirls out there who are taking this or who have taken it who are interested in another CA friend? I’m always looking for new friends, so even if you’re not in California….I’d still like to get to know you and meet some new friends!!
Any women from Maine joining this new class??:)
Hi Amy,
I’m a California Brave Girl and I will be taking the class in April. I’m so excited. Did you decide to take it too?
Karlene
Yes ! I am signed up and really looking forward to it! I can’t wait to learn some new art techniques and meet some new friends
along the way.
The clubhouse looks so incredible! I am so excited that you found a space to make your dreams a reality.
My super project is getting me comfortable right where I am supposed to be. We moved about 7 months ago and I have been resistant to this place. But at least I have a home, and a bathroom and a bed. SO I finally moved in this weekl. Hung my art. Hung the curtains. Organized it, alot. And for many health reasons I am giving my body an overhaul also. Focusing on taking better care of it and putting better fuel into it. And working it more while it works hard for me.
I can’t afford the fee, but am in desperate need of soul restoration. I would love to win this for it would be a dream come true. I have worked hard at discovering who I am and what I need after an abusive past. I love life, but must admit it is hard on some days, but I am here and living a life of my own.
I can relate to what Danette said ~ I have spent a good portion of my life waiting ~ waiting for my kids to get big enough to dress themselves, waiting for my husband’s work shift to be more family friendly, waiting for our ship to come in, waiting to figure out what my gifts are. Now my kids are grown, one with kids of her own, I am still finding myself waiting for my life to begin. Yet, I realize that it’s now 2/3 of the way over! While waiting is an action verb, it doesn’t feel like a very good use of time and energy. I used to do more crafting and sharing of my creativity, but feel stuck. I would love an opportunity to break out of the rut and begin living the life I was meant to. Thank you Brave Girls for sending out your Daily Truths to those of us who are so encouraged by them! Oh…and your new place is going to be fabulous!!! I hope I get to see it someday.
I am actually trying to get the courage to clean out all my scrapbook room. I have put my house up for sale. I have not scrapbooked or anything artsy since January. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. My mother passed away almost two years ago and part of me died then. My only child moved 10 hours from me last summer. So, I am pretty much a lone. I love reading your emails that you send out. I would love to meet you some day. I need to be getting crafty my father’s 82nd birthday is next week and I haven’t made him a card yet. Wish I could get my mojo back .
I could so use some soul restoration! Someday i’ll be able to…..I’ve found that for me, chemo and creativity do not get along well, so I do the necessary, although creativity is my true therapy. Now that I’m in the clear for the first time in almost 4 years, I think I’m ready! Bring it on!!!! I’ve proven to everyone around me that I’m a ‘brave girl’—now i just need to prove it to myself!
I am so excited for this class!
One Week!!!!!!
I want to be brave
I have just watched some of your u tube videos
and it has made me feel all gooey inside
and really emotional.
I hope and pray that i am lucky enough to win a place
I need this sooooo much that it hurts tears are
rolling down my face as i write this.It is like my soul
is crying out to be restored and made new
I’ve just finished watching the new club house coming together…again! I really pray that someday I get to see in in person. Right now, I know that my place is here taking care of my mom. She will have her 91st birthday in about a week! She doesn’t remember a lot of things. Last night she asked me what her last name was, and then how it came to be that. But she still knows me, and her grandsons, so she still has something to make her days not all run together. She can be rather trying, but I don’t know how I’ll feel at 91… if I make it there! Her health is, in some ways, better than mine. And she still knits! So on we go on this path until the next cross roads. Until then I would love to win the Soul Restoration tuition! I live on a fixed income, and can’t afford to take the class otherwise.
So until things change, this is where you’ll find me.
I am grateful for your Brave Girls Club, and the daily emails. Some times readng them is all that keeps me together. Thanks Melody and Kathy and Mr Ross and all the other people, family and friends, who help to make it a success. And how long will it last….as long as there are women who need it!
Thanks again, Jessica
What a truly wonderful experience. It just opens up your heart and soul to all the beauty you have in yourself and what the world has to offer. It’s like waking up after a really long and very deep sleep. You walk outside to a bright and gorgeous day, filled with a sense of wonder and excitement. If you do the work, you will leave this class with so much love for yourself and a hope for a brighter tomorrow.
I bought a Visa gift card today. I registered but it says there is a problem and to check with the event promoter. Any idea what’s wrong? I’m on a imac. I REALLY want to get registered!!! I will keep trying.
Just tried again. Actually it reads contact event organizer. Hmmmm. I’m not great on computers. Idk whats wrong.
I have tried several times to register…says the system is down??? HELP! I have the cash and am ready to roll…and bam..nope not gonna happen…what’s up with that?
Frustrated and Confused,
AK
I need this Soul Restoration giveaway soooooooo very much. I am having gastric bypass this month and my soul needs restoration. I have much to work on inside and would love to receive this.
Charlene R.
SR1 was a fabulous experience for me and I really hope to continue the journey in SR2.
A BONUS for me was doing it on a MAC because I learned so much about how to use my MAC too! It was really well-explained and easy to do:)
I have tried umpteen times to register. Now it’s telling me my credit/debit card has been declined. I have checked my brand new card umpteen times, the balance is right and ready to be used. All my signing up info is right. I was so looking forward to taking this class. My best friend is signed up but MAYBE I am not suppose to do this now. ):
This is great! A friend just shared with me that she’d just completed the Brave Girls Soul Restoration 1 session. I checked out the website, and knew that this would be great for me, too! It seems like I’m “stuck”. My head spins with everything I should be doing “career wise”, yet I always put off the creative side of myself and wonder why I can’t move on. I realize that if I spent time nurturing my soul, I would probably find the peace and direction I need in my life….so, winning would be great! It would give me that YeeHah! I won!…and of course be a wonderful financial blessing to be able to take the course!…I checked the supply list and think I’d only need a couple things, but would love the opportunity to restore my soul!
Thanks for the chance gals.
And, thanks for offering a great outlet and healing for our souls!

Is the registration closed? I am trying to register andit isn’t allowing me to.
Lanie, Registration is still open and will stay open throughout the class. Please email christy@bravegirlsclub.com for help in registering. Sorry it’s giving you trouble! It’s working as there are others who are signing up…but perhaps the server was burping when you tried or ??? I’m glad you left a message and that you’re going to join us! — love, kathy
