Bloom!

Risk.

I remember reading this quote a few decades ago and thinking, I’m not even sure what that means.

That was because I was not tuned in to “me”. I was focused on everything on the outside.

When I started to investigate how I was feeling and why I was doing what I was doing, I realized that I was afraid to blossom. I was too focused on other’s expectations.

I was afraid of who I would become.

I knew who I was.

I followed all the rules, I tried not to rock the boat, I apologized a lot.

Then I started making decisions that were not popular with my family. Such as traveling on my own or not going to events that I no longer enjoyed.

I also decided to remove people from my life that did not add any significance or joy.

It was scary.

It was a risk.

It was heart opening.

I decided to BLOOM!

Blooming is not just one and done. It takes time. It takes stages.

That is the same for us.

Our growth takes time.

Go ahead, take a risk and see what blossoms.

Always on your side,
