Facing fear

Well, we did it. We made the decision and we're moving. It's funny because the idea of moving has never been an issue for me, or my husband. In fact, we lived in 4 homes and 2 countries in the first seven years of our marriage. 11 years and 2 kids later we are still in that 4th house and I think it's going to take a giant crow bar to get us out!

It's funny how settled we can get and how our comfort zones can trap us. We've wanted to move across state for years but have never been able to see how we could do it. Even now it's easy to throw up roadblocks and give all the reasons not to go. In fact, when the family sat down to discuss this what we discovered was all the reasons not to go boil down to one thing - fear. When I realized that fear was the roadblock I knew we had to go because I refuse to live my life from a place of fear. If fear is the only thing stopping me then it's time to look fear in the face and laugh.





As soon as I faced the fear and took some action it's funny how fast the fear disappeared. All it took was a few moments of courage and a little action and now we all see it as a great adventure.
