The Internet is an amazing place and I continue to find beautiful blogs that inspire me. Today, I found My Best Friend Jules via Pinterest.  My Best Friend Jules is the creative work of Mervi Laakso.  She put together this lovely story that spoke to me this morning. Thanks, Mervi! 

Earlier this year, I passed on my acceptance to graduate school to pursue writing instead.  I started this blog as an exercise in doing what I love and continue to write, learn and put myself out there. Moving in a direction that is not defined by semesters or annual reports or commutes to work can feel a bit like being on a tightrope without a safety net. 

But where would the adventure be if I always played it safe? Where would I be if I were unwilling to be uncomfortable? 

 We all deserve to live the life we imagine for ourselves. The trick is to start believing it to be true and then to take action. 
This blog is part of my action and opportunities are unfolding along this new path.  I like it here,  can't imagine being anywhere else. That, in itself, is new territory for me. 


What does your best life look like? What's holding you back? 

Happy Monday!
