Life is strange sometimes but I love every minute of it. Usually anyway. For the most part I enjoy diving into every crook and cranny and sinking my teeth up to my gums. But then again, there are moments when there are more questions than a pre-schooler could ever ask stumbling out of every corner of my mind.
I suppose some of it is normal as I venture out in what is often unfamiliar territory in my quest to establish myself in business doing what I love. I have to keep reminding myself that I’m on the right track when the voices of fear and responsibility jump in and tell me I should be bringing home the bacon. So far the slices have been paper thin.
But my patience and my faith in the process, gets renewed whenever I experience an evening like last night at my journaling workshop. I couldn’t think of a better, more worthwhile, more rewarding thing to do then to spend it in the presence of a group of women stepping forward on their own path. To be as fortunate as to bear witness to their journey is an honour that quickly eradicates any of those nagging doubts and fears.
After evenings like that, the urge to walk into one of the many places with billboards saying: “Now Hiring Benefit Packages Included” fade into the background. The next morning I find the courage to stick my nose into my book again to finish my course or to move forward with the next step on my “to do” list in order to get to where I want to be.
Yes, life is indeed strange sometimes but I wouldn’t want it any other way even if at my age I still have days where I find myself scratching my head trying to figure out if I’m on the right track. Should I veer to the left or to the right when I come to that bend in the road in front of me?
