(this was a transferred post from Open Diary, my first online journaling home. They used to do a "topic of the week" and that is my response to that weeks post.)
What was the last scary decision that you made?!
Wow. That’s putting things out there. There are a lot of scary decisions to be made, always. There are those that say that the definition of courage is being terrified of something…..and doing it anyway =) That’s kind of my philosophy, if you will.
In June of this year, I had an opportunity. I prior scary decision had paid off in spades. After Burning Man in 2016, I made a commitment with some friends that we were GOING to go to New Zealand….to attend a regional burn, Kiwi Burn. As time passed, all the people who had also agreed to go, dropped by the wayside, but dammit, I had decided I was going to go and was determined. I went by myself. I spent three weeks there and had an amazing time and made what have turned into friendships I still cherish and cultivate, hoping they will be lifelong.
Two of those friendships were with an awesome couple named Cody and Ally. She was from Scotland, he from Canada and they’d met globetrotting in Australia and I encountered them in New Zealand at Kiwi Burn. We’d remained in touch, mostly through Facebook. I knew they were getting married in 2018, but hadn’t really thought much about it . I got a message one day asking me about an RSVP, the wedding was to be held in Nova Scotia. Hmmm…never been there, might be fun. Talk to the happy couple and they offer me space in the lodge where the wedding is, so it will really only be plane fare and a few days of lodging, and I can see a cool place.
Aaaaaannnnd, GO!
Did it! Always glad, had an amazing time, would definitely go back, and I am again amazed at how, when you direct your energy in specific places, it’s so awesome to see how the universe works, with your energy, for things to find a way =)
