One year ago today, I walked out of my office for the last time. I closed the door on the cold comfort of a steady paycheck at the hands of days, weeks, and years stuck in an unhappy situation. Outside that door? A world of possibilities. The great unknown.
Sometimes it’s terrifying to be free. And I’m still figuring out the path ahead and how to keep moving forward without exactly knowing the destination. But this journey is vast, abundant, and worth every stumble. Plus, I’m traveling with the very best of companions.
If I start to panic, I try to remember to take a deep breath, relax, and go boldly because, well, WHY NOT? Mary Oliver’s lines are one of my favorite reminders:
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
(from “The Summer Day”)
Congratulations on your anniversary and your celebration of it!
Stunning photography!
Thank you!!
I should have highlighted the one on the right – my husband gets his first photo credit for that one 🙂
looks like your at the edge of a swamp
There is a kind of a swamp near the family cabin that my kids love to visit. Full of tadpoles and dragonflies. The one we’re splashing in, though, is a bona fide lake!
I love swamps they are one of the most peaceful places to be in the world
