Oftentimes, when we take a leap and step into the life that we feel we are meant to live, we feel afraid and unsure and unsettled.
We wonder if we have made the right choice. We look around us, and it seems that everyone else is confident and entirely sure of themselves and their choices. And this causes us to feel alone and isolated in our frightened state of mind. We worry that something must be wrong with us – why can’t we just take the leap, be okay with it, and get on with our More

I am getting a divorce. It’s true.
However, I’m not divorcing my husband. I adore that man, and we will definitely spend all of eternity together loving each other.
This divorce is so much bigger than that. I am divorcing my life.
I have felt an unsettling deep inside of me for quite awhile now. I have felt that the life that I live and the life that I want to live are not one in the same. And so, I’ve been taking little steps for the past year to bring my actual life and my dream More

Like many of you, I have made a lot of friends online. And I have formed bonds and relationships that I know will last forever. We are able to immediately connect on a deep level – on a soul level. And I am so grateful for that.
I also have made many in-person friends: people that I have met face-to-face. Some that I have known for years and others that I have recently met at conferences and established a tight friendship with.
What’s interesting to me is that More

I wear a silver chain necklace at all times. I sleep with it on. I shower with it on. It’s always on. It’s a very meaningful necklace – it’s a reminder for me to come back to the present. When I see it in the mirror, when I feel it against my skin, it’s my wake up call to center myself and breathe.
About a month ago I noticed that it had a small kink in it. I didn’t think much of it – I figured that I would take it off and fix it when I had the time. A More

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
