Over the past almost four years, I have turned my thoughts inward in the hopes of learning more about who I am, what I want out of life and hopefully becoming a better person. It has been a time of discovery. Learning new things about myself. Not always a pleasant experience as I found out. Coming to terms with decisions I made, some good, some bad (on reflection), but MY decisions. I have learned to let go of many things.
It is time to focus on the here and now, but also to set some new goals for my future. I could see my future so clearly, which was kind of scarey in itself. I still WANT that future. I want to trade Coastal Girl for Farm Girl. Like most things in life though, there are many obstacles and whilst this is what I yearn for, it may never happen. There are still issues from my past to deal with, but they too will have to be put on hold as I deal with my health concerns first. The universe sure has a way of making us stop and think sometimes.
So today I reaffirm my positivity in life and set forth after my dreams.

An Essential Pathway 
If the future you see scares you, walk toward it.
Fear is just the primal brain’s way of keeping us from following our heart, feeling and higher self- a valid response in the Stone Age perhaps but sadly parts of our poor old brain have never evolved and keep doing the same tired old thing, even though the whole Universe has changed.
Whoever coined the phrase “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” knew this. I know this. In your heart and soul you know it too..
