Having the courage to choose differently
Here’s what I know—
Courage is a cliff without guardrails: scary without trust, and impossible to traverse without releasing control and surrendering.
One of my greatest life lessons is learning to trust myself, my instincts, & my body’s knowing.
There is a deeper thread coming up in my life around surrender & trust. And lately, I’m learning that there is a vital ingredient to trust: presence.
Presence and true connection, to myself & to others.
My journey with a dumbphone, my decision to volunteer at the local animal shelter, my shift away from social media — it’s all the same thread of presence & connection.
Of having the courage to get to know the world right in front of me.
