Risk (And See What's Possible)

Risk pausing. Risk giving up your to-do list, your resentments, your shoulda, woulda, couldas. Risk turning down the volume of your thoughts and doing your best to be here now.

Risk acknowledging there are things you cannot control. Risk holding close that part of you that needs to be in control and seeing that part of you with kindness and understanding, because it’s a big world out there.

So good! I always feel like I’ve one the lottery when I listen to your wisdom🙏

It’s very hard for me to take risks for fear of failure. I hate to be put in new situations. Thank you for encouraging me to take risks knowing I will be okay.

Thank you 🙏

This was so timely. My husband who I have been care to has entered rehab. I am alone and can barely breathe. He is recuperating from big cancer operation it is not going well and I am so tired I feel like giving up. But your Risk message seemed to be talking to me. I have been taking so many risks not knowing what will happen I will listen again and your new way of presentation is so much better to follow. Thank you for not saying inhale/exhale my concentration was much better.

Made me think. Made me feel. I'm grateful !!!

Beautiful and so relevant to me
