October 25, 2012


It's a bit of a rule-breaker day. This is not technically "my photo"...I saw this on Facebook today and it rocked my world a bit. I was so struck by it that I saved this picture and immediately knew it needed to be my photo of the day for the simple reason that when I look back at my blog and reflect on this year  of my life, I know that this quote is like my "thesis statement." (I couldn't think of a better word.) I want to be able to look back, smile to myself and think, "Wow, that was true. I DID make those kind of decisions, and this is how it turned out..."  Especially in these past few months, the choices and decisions I have made have been TERRIFYING and life-changing but have also been choices that I now and will continue to understand more completely. After some self-reflection (I seem to do a lot of that...lots of time on my hands), I am only beginning to comprehend that that these decisions I have made are so right for me, even if I didn't think it initially. From totally uprooting my content life in Vancouver and moving home to a life of the unknown in Regina, to making the decision to travel across a continent alone, my heart and soul has been challenged in the most incredible ways -- challenged to make the scary choices that will be the most worthwhile.
