November 18--Yes, You Can!

If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.  --John Irving

    I don't tend to think of myself as brave, but others tell me that I am. I can't blog under the header of "The Brave Broad" and be a complete wuss. Then I started to consider the many times when I have had the courage to pursue: 
  • Grad degree at University of Minnesota
  • Moving to Wichita to be closer to my future husband
  • Getting married and having two children (NOT a fairy tale in real life)
  • Leaving a steady job for the flexible schedule of self-employment
  • Admitting defeat to addiction and embracing the 12-Step program
  • Yoga and MELT teaching training and twelve great years of teaching
  • Completing my all-30 Major League Baseball stadiums quest, including two baseball tours I did solo and hundreds of miles of driving to stadiums in huge cities
  • Traveling the U.S. and the world, a huge blessing in my life, with more adventures to come!
    Oh, yes, I've just driven 1000 miles to hang with my niece in Ohio. That was courageous, I guess, but I'm so used to it just being what I have to do to enjoy Ohio-family time. 
    I am lucky and I know it!
