A Leap Of Faith

Sometimes courage looks less like climbing mountains and more like opening the front door, stepping out, and trusting life has a new place prepared for you.

I’ve recently been contemplating a move from my little house into something bigger and in a different area. That I am even considering it is amazing since this home has been my sanctuary for almost 20 years. It welcomed me after the harsh realities of Los Angeles and the end of a relationship I thought would last. It comforted me through the passing of both my parents, multiple breast cancer scares, and deep anxiety, and all the while I was getting older in the process. Of course, it has also been the place where I’ve felt encouraged to write a book, create art, teach workshops and start a podcast. But what I’m realizing now, on the cusp of 73,  is that sanctuaries, over time, can also be confining - protecting us from risk, surprise, and growth.

So, maybe it’s about trusting there is more to life ahead. More amazement. More connection. More wisdom.

With that said, meet my newest work, Faith, infused with thoughts about taking the leap and believing the net will appear; and letting this peaceful haven of mine bless someone else.

I hope you’ll continue to keep me company as the journey continues.
