It is time for me to stop saying “no.” It is time for me to stop running. It is time for me to stop hiding. It is time for me to stop focusing on B but not A. It is time for me to turn to others. It is time for me to open up. It is time for me to embrace. It is time to be willing. It is time for me step beyond my doubt, my worries, my uncertainties, my sense of unworthyness… and go forth and be. It is time for me to stop making excuses of why I can’t and start making paths to how I can. It is time to start learning what it means to do that which I have known I was suppose to be doing since at least the spring of 2002. I embrace part B, but I do not feel I have even started to understand yet alone embrace part A, and the time of hesitation is over, If I am to be true to myself, m call, and the Eternal One who creates and calls me then I must move forward and embrace the support and strength of my mentors, listen to their wisdom, seek dialogue with them, and step into the unknown.
Peace be with you
