Bold. Going beyond my comfort level... which is for me code for lazy. I don't want comfortable if it means I settle, I don't try. I am not trying to reach some elusive notion of success. I want to do what I want to do because I want to do them. I want to push myself to my highest self.
I want to be in love and stay in love all the time. I want to laugh and drink wine and enjoy good food. I want to support causes that speak to my heart and soul. I want to be surrounded by fresh cut flowers. I am tired of being afraid.
I am chasing a bold life, because I am running out of time and living in fear of anything saps the life out of me.
No one gets to hold me hostage with their mess. I can't carry extra baggage of any kind. Come to me with a willingness to unpack or keep moving on. Come to me willing to travel light or keep on moving. I don't have a map, just God's call on my life and the stars and the moon to guide me.
This boldness is not new. Dormant. Hidden. Tucked away. And throw in some shame for good measure....shame is at the heart of not living a bold life. Who are you to live so boldly? I mean you gotta hang your head and wear sack cloth and never smile or taste the sweetness of joy again. That's the weight of shame. I prefer the boldness of the day. I prefer to laugh out loud and smile and love love love deeply.
Loving deeply is the foundation for a bold life. To touch in love is the real revolution. To go beyond my fears and reach out with open arms and open heart, naked and unashamed is my personal journey.
A bold life I seek. A bold life I shall live. Go bold or go home. And if you go home, you can always try again. Life is all about chances. Today I'm taking a chance on going bold. I'm not talking crazy or throwing caution to the wind. It is for me declaring love every moment. And letting declarations of love find me... wrap around me.
