I feel like I’m living on the edge right now. So much change. So much uncertainty as my husband and I pursue the path of our dream.
For a girl who likes her feet firmly planted on the ground it feels pretty disorienting to live this close to the edge. It rather reminds me of our 2010 adventure on the Hakone Ropeway in Japan where in order to enjoy spectacular views of Mount Fuji I had to override my fear of heights and enclosed spaces. It didn’t help that at the time I was, unbeknownst to me, heading down the path of debilitating adrenal fatigue. It made my anxiety over the experience all the more acute.
Still, with the help of my supportive husband and our two dear travel companions, as well as Rescue Remedy and the beautiful music of Jacob Moon, I made it work.
It was worth it to get to see Mount Fuji, however shrouded, above the clouds.
The path to our dreams takes us to the edge of our comfort zones constantly. It can be scary to dip our toe in the waters of the unknown, and this is why so few people ever achieve their heart’s desire.
Surrounding ourselves with supportive people and holding dear a few creature comforts can help us negotiate those tough moments experienced on the edge.
Our dreams need to know they’re worth the risk.
Be well and thanks for visiting …
Dorothy
