To defy anything is not easy. It usually requires passion and a desire to accomplish something. Josephine Baker lived a life that accomplished a lot defying her naysayers.

Josephine Baker faced a lot of rejection but was able to move past it. She defied the odds. She did not give up performing. She continued and became one of the best in the business.

Baker then used her gift of performance to work for French Intelligence during World War II.  She was awarded a medal of honor after the war.

Josephine Baker defied all things in life.   When she was young, she really wanted to be in the chorus line on Broadway, but they told her she was too skinny.  She created a comic route that ensured she would always be in the line. She did not allow the impossibility of her dream stop her from achieving it.

This month, I am examining the things that seem impossible. What does it really take to achieve them? Do I have it in me? Lets see.
