Starting something new is not always easy. Easy is thinking about it, talking about it, praying about it. Doing it, is something else. I think it has to do with how most of us are taught to live in fear. It is easier to do nothing than to risk trying and failing. I am technically challenged and don't know much about blogging or podcasts. But I am determined to not live in fear and start.
I have a quite boring, yet exciting life. In one universe, I am am wife and the mother of the two most incredible kids ever born. I make sure the lunch money gets to school, food is in the refrigerator, and everthing is taken care of. My other universe is working from different places each week. I am a paid "road warrior". I get to see a different place in the world most every week. That typically generates one of two responses from people I meet. The first is something like, "wow, you are so lucky. I want your job." Those words make me feel special, yet mysterious as I don't crush the dream by giving away the secrets about the downside of being on the go. The other polarized response is emitted with a controlled, horrified tone, "How could you leave your kids every week. I could never do that." Those words speak a truth that rings in my ears and the guilt flows. I try and live somewhere in the middle.
My job, my life, is a mixed bag. Some is great and some needs starting. A real work in progress. And so begins a journey of writing about experiencing, keeping, and starting.
