How appropriate that Thing-A-Day concludes on Leap Year Day. We’ve all taken a leap of faith by choosing to participate in this challenge. We’ve trusted in the moment, gone with what we feel and opened ourselves up to others. We’ve had some successes and some surprises. Personally, I think I’ve learned a lot–both from the other participants and about myself. I do believe I’ll be taking more leaps in the future. I hope you will too.
