sometimes you just have to take that big gigantic leap…
do you ever feel like you are constantly having to ‘begin again’? from moving all your worldly belongings in the back of your rickety clunker (and crossing your fingers the whole time that you actually arrive at some ‘destination’ in one piece!) , to the pomp and circumstance of graduations, to first children (and first smiles and endless sleepless nights), and even to terrible horrible awful painful break-ups, it seems like life is always getting to decide what grand adventure is right around the corner.
Or at least that has how it has felt for me for the past year or two…
but sometimes dont you just want to yell, “wait! stop the bus! i liked my adventures last month! i’m just not ready to begin YET AGAIN!”
if so, just know, you are NOT alone:)
so today begins day 1 of the new life mantra – I LOVE TO BEGIN AGAIN…(i’m hoping if i repeat that chant over and over again, one day i really will start believing it!)… one whole year of exciting new adventures that i choose (take THAT, life!)…365 days of saying WAHOO to the surprises and HOORAY to the new beginnings…
so the goal is to come up with a list of 365 adventures – they can be amazingly big, or itty-bitty-ily small, but put together they will hopefully shape a year of pheomenal new beginnings.
so do you have ideas? think i should go skydiving (please please please say no!) or perhaps learn how to irish step dance? some great author i should try to tackle? train to do an ironman (please lets be reasonable!)…so send me any ideas you have – we have plenty of time!!
questions? thoughts? words of wisdom? feel free to leave a comment or email me at lovetobeginagain@gmail.com
What an absolutely fantastic idea!! I can’t wait to follow this daily to learn of all of your adventures, both grand and small!! This is very inspiring!!!!
This is exactly where I am at this point in my life. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. They are uplifting and inspiring. A
Great fun and always a new adventure everyday. I love it when folks shake up the routine and get out side of their circle of comfort. Good nudge for my own life.
P.S. Great web site design too!
Go to Mexico and explore the wonders of our southern neighbor. And the food – yum! Try the Yucatan for starters, and discover the X files – so many Mayan words begin with x.
