One step ...

I love to travel and have been blessed to visit many wonderful countries around the world. The joy of exploring new places is magical and I especially love discovering the 'unseen' sights of places, you know - the ones not always recognized as being the popular sight to see.

One thing any journey has in common is that they always begin with a single step. Yes, they have a beginning and usually have a destination. Everything that happens in-between is the adventure itself and whether traveling, staying in one spot, or tracing back to where you've been before, the journey is what we come to value and enjoy.

Life is like that. There is a clear beginning, and known destination, and everything in between is the gift called life. Sometimes we get stuck and feel like we're not going anywhere, yet when we stop and reflect we realize that even if we had to take a few steps backward, we were ultimately still making progress. The challenge is to take those steps!!

So today I DARE you to take a note of the journey you're on and reflect back on the steps you've taken. Where have you traveled so far and where are you hoping to get to? Make a note of these things and then celebrate the progress I know you WILL have made so far. We don't always see it in the moment and so that's why it's important to take some time to reflect and recognize the growth we have made.

Here's to adventures and travels and wherever they may take us!!
