Life-Changing Fun for Women
Dear Beautiful Soul, Decisions are hard, aren’t they? When making really important decisions….one of the most important questions you can ask yourself is…. “What am I pretending not to know?” ….if you have been a human for any number of years, you know that the answer to that question is always going to come back […]
CHAPTER 5 THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM In 2004 when Marq had his accident, we lived in a 100 year old stone house that we had painstakingly restored in 2000. I will never forget the day that we’d taken a back road to get home, and I saw that old stone house had a for […]

Dear Overwhelmed Soul, Just do the next right thing that you know to do. It is enough. You are loved. xoxo
Dear Beloved Soul, You’re no doubt as heart-broken as we are today at the news from Las Vegas. We shake our heads and wipe our tears and wonder, what is happening!??!? How can there be so much hate for human life? It can seem so sad and hopeless. What if all the love-givers and the […]
Oh my dear dear dear sisters. Do you hear me calling out to you? Oh, please listen…this is for you. Have you ever come upon a place by accident, and it felt like you just walked into a portal that brought you to a place too beautiful, magical and peaceful to ever be real? A place […]
Dear Wonderful Soul, Being a person is a hard job. There is so much that must be learned…so many mistakes get made. Sometimes people get hurt and sometimes things fall apart. Sometimes we go down the wrong road and sometimes we are careless and don’t think through things. Sometimes it takes a few times to […]
Chapter 4 – Two Kids in the Big World of Business These are just a few stories about how we became millionaires in our twenties from our kitchen table by self publishing a book, and then another book, and then another. We printed our first run at Kinko’s, believe it or not, then we went […]

We started Brave Girls Club over six years ago, at a time when all we had was a bunch of wild ideas, a king-sized dream, and an excitement to get to work. We wrote a mission statement that read:
"We are on a wild and crazy mission to find all of the brave women of the world...to help them find each other...then to change the world with good news, good ideas, good people, and good times. "
A little background....Melody was just coming out the other side of several years of heartbreak and loss, the most devastating being the traumatic brain injury suffered by her husband, Marq. She had developed a tremendous compassion for all those who are living with pain and loss and determined to spend the rest of her life helping them and teaching the things she had learned from her own experiences.
Our vision quickly spread to our families (we are sisters), and then to our friends, and girl by girl it has spread by word of mouth literally all over the world. We've been joined by Brave Girls as far away from our little Idaho town as Australia, Africa, Europe, South America and Asia. We have found that no matter where we are from, no matter our backgrounds or ages, we are all so much more alike than we are different. We all want to live joyful, peaceful and brave lives.
We hope you will join us! There's a place for you here.
love,
melody ross and kathy wilkins
