Turtle Shell...

"Be Brave With Your Life"

It's so easy to let life happen and say "Oh I'll be brave next time." It takes a lot of bravery to be brave! There are days I feel just showing up is as brave as it gets, and then I try to push myself just the tinniest bit more. But there are times I retreat into the safety of my turtle shell until I can feel it is safe enough to come out. With each new experience maybe there will be a day when I stay out of my shell longer and longer.

Renewed...

Letting go is a process. It comes in stages of grief, anger and acceptance. Somedays I'm in all those places. My tears release and wash the feeling clean and I am renewed to continue on this journey. As the next present moment presents itself, I allow it to flow through me without judgement. I am strong and brave...

Brave...

"With Brave Wings She Flies"

And so it is... with brave wings I can fly. I can allow my life to soar above anything I could ever imagine myself. And land in a place of beauty and abundance. Because...

with brave wings I can fly!

Sara Bareilles ~ BRAVE

I saw this video on TV today and I liked it, so I thought I would share...ENJOY : )

Courage and Fear...

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."

Nelson Mandela

When I saw this picture, it made me think of courage and fear. When darkness (fear) of the storm collides with the beauty (courage) of the sun, you get a brilliant rainbow! As when I am brave and can triumph over my fears, I feel as awesome as that rainbow looks. It is not something I will wake up one day and be done with, each fear must be conquered. But I know I do not walk this path alone. We all must face what we fear or be consumed by it.

Brave...

"I'm often humbled by the orchestration of it all. This is a wild ride but it's not unsupervised. It's not about what I think I can do. It's about what I'm willing to open up to doing in any given moment."

Words borrowed from : Inspired  & Unstoppable

I was brave today and went out into the unknown. I was partly working on someone else's behalf but part of it was about me. I did it - I really really did it! I'm not sure selling (especially myself) will ever be my favorite part but I hope it will become more comfortable. I was "willing" to open myself up in the given moment. Awesome Nancy !!!!!!!
