Feeling Scared

The experiences that scare you are the ones you grow most from. I want to be clear since I have three boys. I don't mean jump off some crazy cliff or rock climb some crazy mountain.

I am a very impulsive person. I tend to act before I think which does not always. work in my favor. In March I had a what. am I doing with. my. life moment. My multi million dollar (in my mind) grip spray that I was sure i was going to land me on the Today show was now dead in the water. or at least drowning. So the light went off in my head and I decided I needed to get certified as a yoga teacher. I had already committed to work the weekend my studio was beginning their training. I impulsively texted Jonah Kest and asked if he offered teacher training. He immediately texted back and said yes September in Costa Rica for 18 days and bring your spray. it is amazing the connections we make that become important parts of our story. Without a second thought I decided I am jumping in!

The summer flew by as I was doing yoga, cooking for my boys, studying to be a travel advisor, cooking my boys and again cooking for my boys (my guilty pleasure). It wasn't until the Sunday before I left that I thought "am I crazy?! Costa Rica for 18 days?!"The panic set in and I took a xanax. Scared was an understatement. I was traveling to another country, without knowing a soul, to training I knew little about, The feeling was similar to the anticipation of going to college or having my first child. Fear of the unknown.

And here is where the beauty is. I got to the retreat and was surrounded by 35 people of the same mindset. The most eye opening and inspiring moment was connecting with these people of all ages from all over the world.who were in the same uncomfortable spot. We are all so different yet all the same trying to weave the narrative of our life no matter what chapter we were in.
