A Grand Adventure

Sometimes the hardest thing in life is to take the first step. This post in someways is that first step. For some time I have been dreaming and wondering and contemplating what to do with my life. How can I bring meaning to not only myself and my family, but to those around me? What career path should I follow? My life's journey has taught me so much, how do I share that with others? Is it even worth sharing? How do I stop sabotaging myself? The life I
pictured for myself even a few years ago is not the life I see before me.
I have a feeling I'm not the only one who has been in this state of uncertainty. We all make fun of the "mid-life crisis," yet here I find myself closer to 40 than I care to admit and at loss of which direction the next step should be in. There are poems and songs aplenty that show this is a common part of life. So what do we (I) do about?
Here's what I have figured out so far:
Hold on tight to the positive people in your life
Spend time in silence
Listen for the still, small voice inside you
Learn from others who have gone before you
Try something new
Be part of a community
Cry when you need to
Trust yourself
My hope with this site is to cultivate a community of like minded people who desire to learn from each other. By doing so, we will hopefully find answers to our questions and bring wholeness to the way we live and love to those around us. I do not know where I will end up on this grand adventure, but I do know that I am not alone and somewhere along the way I will find what I'm searching for. Maybe we all will.
With Love,
Kendra
