Here's what I learned TOTALLY by accident. Personal story sells.

It’s Time For Another Adventure

November 4, 2014

I’ve been down for the count with a broken ankle these past three months. But I’m back on the road again.  Running. And I can feel my soul opening up. I can feel the land and the sky and the rain as if they were part of me. I’m alive.

This season, I’ve learned a lot about myself.  And I’ve relearned some old lessons.  It’s that old spiral staircase: Coming back to the same thing again and again. I think I should know better, but clearly I do not. It’s that all or nothing stuff I know so wellWithout the running, everything else goes to hell in a hand basket. My self-care routine drys up.  I work too much; eat too much. I cling to comfort. I turn inward. I get small.  I close up. My confidence dims, and my magic.

It’s time for another adventure.  It’s time to take on a big, hairy, audacious goal. Something grand, and beautiful, and worthy of enormous effort. I can feel the call.

How about you?

      I so loved that video too. Made me get up off my butt and venture out. Do some things that normally make me nervous. Like night kayaking. I keep hearing the theme song from Jaws playing in the background.
