“They may be right about the odds. But the odds don’t get to become my imagination.”

Something New Begins January 2027

PROJECT: A Self Dare: To Just Stay Open | How to Practice Unlimited Possibilities.

Season: The Just Stay Open Year

Invitation / Benediction: Dare to Believe Unlimited Possibilities Still Exist

This project lives in the space between acknowledging the odds and refusing to let the odds become the final story.

This year is not about proving that a particular future is guaranteed. It is about becoming curious enough to discover whether the story is finished.

I’m Elizabeth Ivy. And I’m living my way through this project not to see if every desired outcome arrives.

What if practices in art, creativity, and spiritual formation when applied to a lived life experiment leads to more courage, beauty, relationship, faith, curiosity, and evidence that possibility remained after certainty had tried to close the door?

Maybe you don’t need to know what happens next.

Maybe you just need to stay open long enough to find out.

Just Stay.

Can I just Stay Long Enough? Can I Not Close Again? Can I

Just Stay Open.

Unlimited Possibilities Still Exist.
