The meantime.

...the waiting, the transition, the in-between.

One day, you figure out where you want to go, and then you start going there. You take one step at a time, one day at a time, watching the days become weeks and months. You can see the destination, waiting for your arrival, but you're stuck in the getting-there. Let's talk about that.

This year, I started climbing mountains; physically and metaphorically. In both, I have found the same to be true - the growth happens on the adventure, in the transition between point a and point b. It's in the getting-there that we learn and become what empowers us to summit life's peaks.

In this space between where you find yourself today, and where you want to be someday, there is endless peace to be found within yourself. Recognize that you are on your way. Trust that you have been called to discover yourself in the journey between here and there. Embrace the waiting, find calm in the pause, and choose to be in every moment along the way - even the tough ones. It's the in-between moments that carry us through life.

Beginning in September, I plan to write something here every Friday. I would love to share my story, my reflections, give opportunity for connection, etc. I hope that this message has found you well.

In the meantime, I invite you to practice gratitude. Stop here, appreciate your life for a moment, and smile.
