This weekend's adventure is definitely pushing my comfort zone and challenging me.....I am confident it is going to be great and a memory for the books.......but going it alone is challenging the space in me where fear whispers in my ear........and as that fear whispers I press on.......so much of the last nearly two years I have had to do stuff afraid......no time to entertain fear and a need to persist......or face my fears right in the eye.....staring them down and removing their power and hold over me.......I mean losing my marriage and my family might have been one of my number one fears in this life, and then it happened, and in the living, the surviving, the thriving beyond that moment.......I learned that the fear and limits we place on ourselves, are just that......truth is we don't know what will happen in our day to day, whether we anticipate it or not......so we may as well embrace the day......not placing conjecture,or the false narrative that is found when fear shows up to whisper its nonsense:) I am choosing to push past it all and achieve my dreams......this weekend is a bucket list......no question........I was hopeful we would have traveling companions for this trip but it didn't work out that way.....and I could have cancelled and said never mind.....abandoning my dream for fear.....OR I could have said let's do THIS...and I chose the latter in the name of living outside of my comfort zone, a place where I have learned that treasures are found.....and in the name of showing my kids that our family of three doesn't limit the opportunities available to us.......the sky is the limit.......the truth is it could be the three of us for a long time......a notion that is fine with me......and we have a life to live......no time to wait for somebody to come rescue us......or take us places we are afraid to visit alone......no time for such things.......face the dragon, get the gold, right;-) so I am nearly all packed.....have our bedding.....wood for the fire......kindling........plenty of fun snacks and smores.....some sparking champagne to celebrate our adventure later.....and a willingness to adventure beyond my comfort zone.......allow us to have new experiences and travel beyond our limits......in the last two years......I feel I have done much more LIVING than I had done in a long time......and during much of my old life.........and I don't plan on stopping doing that any time soon......life is meant to LIVE, and I am seizing the magic and the opportunities as they come! Let the ADVENTURE commence!!!:)
