-Michael Jordan

These are honest reflections on my past, my present, & my journey to living life on purpose & with purpose. I am a work in progress.
Fear was limiting me. I was unable to explore the edges of my passion. But, after years of resistance & buckets of tears I am giving myself permission to fail.
Failure is not the end. It is the beginning of awareness & a life where fear is not allowed & every moment is an opportunity.
I believe I am headed in the right direction. My life has been opened to beautiful surprises, unthinkable possibilities, & a lightness of being. My present is expanding.
It is through the kindness of family, friends, & strangers [my inspirations unaware] that I am able to be honest with myself, let go of perfect, & find my voice. ...all the way to the edge!
