Learning to Fly

Butterflies sound so much prettier than how a nervous stomach feels.

It’s RISE week and after that I fly to Phoenix for a Writer’s Retreat with Martha Beck. YIKES!

It’s usually after the sun goes down, that I start to question myself “Am I ready? Can I do this?” The questions can quickly turn to doubts and that’s when the party REALLY gets started.

But experience has taught me that after dark fatigue often masquerades as doubt. So I say to the questioner and the doubter “I’ll talk to you in the morning.” Because nine times out of ten when the light of day arrives, they're nowhere in sight.

So my BraveHeart sisters bask in the light. Learn, stretch, grow, and accept the butterflies as a sign of the metamorphosis that is occurring as we leave our safe cocoons and learn to fly.
