a couple of weeks ago, i invited you to submit your own stories of breaking down obstacles to live the life you want. and boy did you ever!
i was able to put together a kick ass digital zine with all your kick the door down stories. the zine is completely free to download – nearly 13,000 worlds and 31 pages of encouragement and inspiration for your creative journeys, whether you dream of your indie business or dream of living a more creative & fulfilling life.
the kick the door down project is a digital zine compiling the stories of creators who have broken through obstacles – mental, physical, and situational – to live the lives they’ve dreamed of. some are living those dreams and others are still on their journey. we can learn from them all.
please share this with the creative women (and dudes!) in your life and anyone who needs a bit of help with kicking down their own personal doors. feel free to lift the image of the cover from this post but please link here instead of directly to the download. thanks!
click here to download! and if you’d like to give back a little yourself, i’d love for you to subscribe to receive scoutie girl updates once per day in your email!

Amazing zine Miss Scoutie. Not trite or sappy… just purely inspiring to those of us who live to infuse the world with beauty made from our own hands. Thank you, truly.
You’ve inspired me to redo my own little blog and reevaluate my goals for my Etsy shop… I’m ready to start kicking some doors!
Just starting out myself and trying to bash through a few doors, always inspiring to read how other people managed it. Will keep on going, thanks a lot!
congratulations on this absolutely inspiring project tara. you never cease to amaze me at this point! what a wonderful zine.

Tara – I must admit I already respected you…but reading the Zine you put together just thrust you to a whole new level in my mind. I’ve decided I’m going to read it in small doses, maybe a story or two a day or when I need some inspiration. These stories are both emotional and empowering at the same time. What a terrific thing you’ve done…
What a fabulous gift this is — I’ve only read a few pages so far and already I’m rethinking my whole approach … thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I’m very happy I stumbled upon this zine. I found pieces of me in some stories and all of them are so inspirational. It’s so relieving to know that people who have been where you are have finally managed to kick doors down. I ‘m about to kick mine.
Tara,
From a fellow 3t-er. Love your blog. It’s big, bold, colorful, and still polished and well crafted. Qualities I have continually attempted to add to my blogs unsuccessfuly!
