Moving...

"Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different..."

C.S. Lewis

It is funny when you live in the present moment, sometimes it feels like nothing is changing and then looking back your vision is clearer and you do see things different, even if it's only how you viewed it. Life doesn't stay stagnate, it is always moving. But there are times I have felt stuck while life swirls around me, then something comes along and jars me out of that place ~ even if it's only a change in perspective.

Courage...

      A friend of mine had a vision/collage get-together that I was not able to attend. It was to start off the new year with a word and vision you wanted to focus on through out the year. Mine I decided, was going to be COURAGE. I need courage to step out of my comfort zone and into the unknown. If I am to create what I want in my life, then courage is what I need! Courage doesn't come with a manual, so I will borrow from what life has to offer. 

     Other people's lives offer insight into what it means to be courageous, quotes keep me reminded, and practice of showing up for myself is a daily dose of courage. A wise man once said,

"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
