Somrtimes, to be honest, I may step back in to safety to catch my breath and gather my wits. Then I step. Or jump.

Amazing image!!! In the start of cleaning out of old within this house of ours, I realized how painful it is to get pulled back to the past in many circumstances. I prefer to keep my eyes focused on the Present Now, moving ever forward. Great post! Thank you. Love, Amy

Awesome! I always choose growth. I try to do something that scares me a little each month…though I should probably do that each day. But, those challenges make me feel like I am growing.

Lorna's Voice on March 26, 2015 at 5:30 pm said:

Well, there is always the possibility of staying in place and pondering… ;) I’ve been known to do that, especially when surprised by something that forces me to make a choice. I have this “freeze” response which is quite annoying. You definitely would not want me to be the leader of a group of people in crisis!
