Will you jump off a cliff with me?

If you set the intention to heal does it work? If you decide that this upcoming year is going to be your year, will it truly be? If you know you are in a place in life that is not working, not serving you, not building you up to be the happiest you can be, can you actually manifest or plan or hype yourself up enough to finally say enough is enough and reset your course. To one of healing and adventure and mindset shifts? 

I can firmly and honestly tell you that I don’t know. I have seen all the reels about people changing their lives, taking life into their own hands, manifesting their dreams to come true, etc etc etc. Haven't you? I feel like once you see one reel  they all start coming. Like the algorithm knows that you are sitting in a life that you don’t recognize for yourself and you want to change and don’t know how. 

I have read all the one sentence quotes; inspiring people, or telling people what to do. Like one sentence has the ability to dig deep enough into my soul to also battle all the experiences and hardships I have lived along the way. And while I scoff at them, there are times where I read them and feel the need to shift my soul. And so maybe I shouldn’t be scoffing. Maybe I should be opening myself up and listening. 

Maybe I just haven't been in the right mindset to accept that I can change my path. Maybe if I leave the judgment and my worries about what others think and the sorrow of the life that is my current and the pain of what I have been through behind; maybe I can lean into intentionally deciding I want to heal and I want to create a life I love. I think I would like to try. I think here and now, I have decided that 2025 is going to be my year. I am declaring here where I am taking a chance with starting a blog, that I am going to not only lean in, I am going to jump off the damn cliff - in. 

So here it begins. I am sitting in bed, 10am on a Saturday with my pups sleeping around me. I have 2 weeks from today before I get in the car and start my adventure. I am writing my first blog entry for a blog I still need to create. I am setting myself up to really not just dream my dreams for 2025, but live them. What is one year; right? To take chances and say yes. To want to dream big and see if you can put fear to the side. What is one year in the scheme of things? If nothing else, it could be a grand story. One in which I am determined to tell and share. 

December of 2024 with just shy of 4 weeks left in a year that has taken so much from me and really pushed me too close to breaking, I am deciding enough is enough. Truth be told; I am terrified. I am not the woman that takes chances. I have never been that woman. I am scared. 2025 is the year to be scared and do it anyway. 

So I begin by telling you that I am afraid to write and yet it is what my heart has always yearned to do. So before 2025 even comes, I am jumping off the damn cliff. 

Will you jump off the cliff with me? Into the waters unknown below? What is only one year?
