Life expands or contracts in proportion to one’s courage. – Anais Nin.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could put aside all our fears and pursue our dreams fearlessly? Imagine how much more you could achieve and experience if you had no fear at all to go after whatever you wanted.
If fear/love is a spectrum, it’s certainly more helpful to be more towards the love end of the spectrum than the More

When I was 11, without any adult influence, I began my search for spirituality. While the rest of my family slept in on Sunday mornings, I decided that I “should” get up early to watch religious programs on TV. I felt extremely guilty when I would always fall asleep during the programs.

I love the newness and possibilities that are inside each of us during this time of year. We get a fresh slate, and we get to map out the next 12 months. We get to dream and plan and imagine and envision. Nothing is impossible. No dream is too big. Isn’t that an amazing feeling?
But while I love this openness and freeing feeling that this newness and possibility brings, I have noticed that there is also an unsettled feeling inside of me. Venturing into the unknown can be scary.
Stepping into my dreams requires a leap that might require jumping before I know where I will land. Remembering that I must let go of the good to make room for the great (wise words from my mentor, Steve Harrison) is both exciting and terrifying.
One minute I want to write down all of my dreams and jump into them at full speed. The next I want to crawl back into my comfort zone and stay there forever. It’s not so bad here, I say to myself. And yet, my soul is pleading with me to keep moving forward – to leave the known. It knows that so many beautiful things await me, and I just need to be brave enough to keep moving toward them.
I find it wonderful that the universe always provides us with exactly what we need exactly when More
