Another trip around the sun brings more self-reflection than any one person needs, but here I am…lost in the midst of what could have beens and what is yet to be.
This year I’m making a promise to myself. I tend to say no…a lot. I can’t tell you why that is, but I know that many things have slipped from my grasp because of inaction on my part. Maybe it’s the fear of what could be, maybe it’s the stubborn part of me that I love and it feels like a betrayal to let her down. Maybe both are to blame.
So, today is a resounding YES. Everyday for the next year, I will practice saying yes more than I say no. Yes to myself and yes to all of the things that I want to do, but scare the shit out of me.
The irony in all of this is that my “yes” may look like more of a “no” to all of you, and that’s exhilarating and frightening, but also very freeing in this moment.
The biggest yes is the re-launch of this blog and all that comes with it. I miss telling my stories to strangers, so welcome back if you’ve hung around. And hello to those who are stopping by for the first time. It’s bound to be a bumpy ride as we take a look back and stumble forward to see what new things await us around every new corner.
