“We are most vulnerable during moments of transition. Yet change presents an opportunity to reflect on and release our past. Each time we open a new chapter, sadness will find us, wearing different faces, delivered in different forms. Being present with it and creating space for it allows for its eventual release. Change is hardest to embrace when the loss of our past is palpable, and the payoffs are not yet in sight.

I call it courageous living. Others call it a leap of faith...

Courageous, creative living is the ability to act, leap, or keep moving forward, even when confidence is nowhere to be found.”

“When we let ourselves write--write freely without fear--we invite the unconscious forward, moving beyond our "scripts" into our truth. Writing is the key. Simply thinking through our issues is too vague, too noncommittal. Like the ocean, one thought gets washed away with another: a wave comes in, only to be washed over by another wave. Connections between how we're currently living and what we really want can be fleeting, easily lost if not captured. Writing commits our thoughts and feelings to paper so that we can be in relationship with them and with ourselves--artifacts of our interior available for reflection, and refinement.”
