Doubt and the tenderness of vulnerability have plagued me for weeks while working hard for a goal I’ve dreamed of for decades. I rationalized for years why I couldn’t do this. And once I started the process, I’ve thought about throwing in the towel multiple times. I just didn’t realize until this week the real reason I wanted to quit was to avoid my feelings. Avoidance is sneaky. It would be so easy, and I can find plenty of justifiable excuses. In fact, not many would question my decision to give up.
But I’ve discovered I’m willing to fight through these feelings because I have my own voice now. I want to feed my soul and be who I am called to be.

It’s been a roller coaster ride the last 6 months during my blogging sabbatical. Continued growth, awareness, & forgiveness; betrayal; and a surprise!
My decision to back away from blogging and other optional activities was born of necessity. Some important relationships were requiring intensive attention, and I needed to focus on figuring out what my role was in each relationship. It’s never pretty looking in the mirror, but always worth it in the end.
It’s easy to think relationships are strong when times are good.
But when things go awry, you find out what the relationship is really made of.

It’s easy to do nothing but complain about our circumstances.
Sometimes it feels good to vent, but it’s rarely productive.
My guest today, Brad Volz, shares why it’s more effective to implement choice with action to change circumstances.
Brad Volz
Choice has been on my mind recently.
I’ve struggled with decision for years. Too often under pressure, I opt for doing nothing. More
