The Line in the Sand

It's February and the year is already curving around a bend that I cannot see. Facing all of the benefits and consequences of change takes courage; courage to see it through, courage not to back down, courage to face the casualties of a decision...courage to forge ahead into the unknown. I'm not too concerned about whether I'll fail or succeed - I totally embrace that this is the nature of risk. The process is what fosters growth, confidence, and better knowledge of self. These risks and changes...they also bring tears. It doesn't help that I'm an emotional person to begin with...in quiet moments where I can dig deep, I know that all of these steps will create a better life. I had a friend tell me once, "If it doesn't work out, at least I have God." I keep turning to prayer - seeking for spiritual guidance to confirm these decisions that are both difficult and exciting. xo
