On The Other Side Of The Scary....

Hi!



These pictures... well, these pictures represent the scariest things that chasing my writing dream have required of me, thus far.


These pictures... these pictures represent things that I would have never imagined myself doing 10 years ago.


These pictures represent the portals that transport us to the other side of the scary.


There is no around, over, or under, only through.


Hard work helps create opportunity, opportunity, on its own, is pretty to look at, but, without action, remains a 'what if.'

"What ifs" are hard to live with, much harder than failure ever could be.


Dreams come in all shapes and sizes, depths and heights, in every shade of every possible colour. Achieving them will always require some level of courage, some willingness to step outside our norm, some degree discomfort.

But, it's always worth it.


On the other side of the scary...


On the other side of the scary, new paths begin to show themselves. Paths you never knew could exist. They can lead to places you didn't even know you wanted to go.


The paths never seem to run in a straight line, nor are they without hills, twists, turns, potholes, and sheets of black ice.


There are going to be obstacles and detours, that's a given. Do you let them stop you, is the question.

Do yourself a favour, don't let them.


No matter the dream, whether it's earning that certificate or degree, being your own boss, running a race, entering a competition, creating art, whatever it looks like for you, leave yourself open to the fact that dreams can take on different textures, different shapes, and still remain yours. Allow them to evolve and mature as you do.



On that note, I need to go and finish walking through another scary. That first picture... well that first picture represents my next scary. I'll let you know what it looks like on the other side when I get there...

Until next time...


May you find the courage to embrace your freedom, creating the life of your dreams.
May you compose a life you can't help but dance to, so bright, so full, it bursts at the seams.

May you colour outside the lines until your masterpiece reveals what its meant to be.
May you use every shade, every hue, leaving nothing in the box, unleash the inevitable beauty.

May you walk through the scary, for on the other side awaits a world without limits.
May you embrace the detours, they are important, guiding notes within your opus.
