Ready to grow - Week Nineteen

"I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that is how you grow" ~ Marissa Mayer

Week Nineteen (October 30 - November 5)

As a planner, dreamer, and future examiner, I peer at the calendar brimming with intentions, each promoting transformation while mindful of times fleeting grace. Setting forth in exploration with so much bravado until the day arrives and it is time to leap and I fumble with my courage.

Manifesting bravery comes in fits and starts as I accept the challenges which frighten me. Leaps that suggest a brilliant plan are often betrayed by the arrival of fear exposing my vulnerability and pushing me to edges I had not anticipated. Encouraging this quest for new is vital to the growth I seek even as I stave off uncertainty on my voyage.

It is within my ability to try new things where I create a rhythm in learning, discovering the growth necessary as I explore the world. This tug on my fears becomes gentler over time, knowing that I can breathe through the difficulty and will find myself joyful on the other side allows me to continue penning dates in the calendar, often of my own suggestions when I know it is time to rise again.

Difficulty forces transformation, obstacles may arrive without our choosing, but in the quieter times leaning into the  discomfort inspires new beginnings. Providing gratitude in the new while discovering ourselves along the way reminds me to shake things up and step out again.

From the list...

Week Nineteen - Health

• The biggest transformation in my health was quitting smoking, I never anticipated the abundance of wellness I had sacrificed with that one controlling habit. Once I mastered that, I knew anything was possible as my body healed swiftly from the residual effects smoking had caused.
