Leap Of Faith.
Jump in. What are you waiting for? What holds you back?
Whatever you are debating if you should or shouldn’t do…. if it isn’t harmful to you or anyone else around you… just do it. BE LIKE NIKE. just do it.

Sometimes you just have to jump in. Leep. Have faith. Throw ALL the caution to the wind.
Whatever you are debating if you should or shouldn’t do…. if it isn’t harmful to you or anyone else around you… just do it. BE LIKE NIKE. just do it.
Take sports for example, you practice so much so that you can be the best on game day. While we are all in progress, and we should continually strive to be better… to always do something that helps you reach your greatest goals or deepest inner desires.
Sometimes you have to take the leap.
I learn the hard way sometimes by taking leaps. And then…. sometimes I get long lasting positive results.
With this, me living outside my box… creating. I am throwing caution to the wind and I am just doing. I am writing. I am writing and podcasting. I am making mala’s. I am doing whatever feels good at the time each day.
Quarentine helps. I am doing what I love during this time. And I had a moment after today’s bike ride with my best friend, Jenn. See… she got me thinking. So this moment… this moment I had a few moments ago is what if I continued to create?
Like my grandmother said. “Sarah you are talented, keep going.” Now.. what if I keep creating, how will I monetize it like my husband wants… and my family needs me to do?
Can I? I am throwing caution to the wind now because I have the time. Will I keep up? Will you keep up with whatever it is you are doing?
Faith without works is like a screen door on a submarine. I said this in an earlier podcast. And for real… we gotta do the work. The doing… the action… is where the magic takes place.
Are we afraid of failing? Are we afraid of getting hurt? Why is fear constantly getting in the way of life. Why do some seem to think I have to be in a box? That we all have to be in a box?
See, the grocery store is a great example of being told what to do and how to do it. I was walking through walmart talking to Jackie on the phone about getting rid of my facial hair ( I know, embarrassing… right?) And… I stoped looking at the signs… I was NOT following any rule…
Then, I kept not paying attention to the directions on the floor. ( I have to say I am pretty by the book.. rules are there for a reason, etc)
Anyway.. I wasn’t on the phone anymore. And I was walking and this guy, facing the other direction, acts me where the couscous in walmart is (of course I knew) and I pointed him in the direction and then I realized I was going the wrong way.. he was coming towards me and so was everyone else surrounding him.
Ah. I was not following the rules society was screaming/ is screaming at me to do.
And then….. I realized. What is happening to our world? Our entire world? We are all following these fules… because of this pandemic… and why?
Don’t get me wrong… this is alot of seriousness to what is going on. I am married to a FF husband and it’s real. It is killing people. And it is SNEAKING as all get out. I don’t want people to die… especially my loved ones.
So I understand, there is some seriousness to following the rules.
Rather, this is symbolic of my life. I have always followed the rules and now… I’m not. I am breaking free. Screw you people that want to put this creative in a box. I don’t belong there. I belong in a job where I can create and in addition spend time with my family, and do everything I love. I had a taste of it…. it just didn’t pay enough. I worked too much for what it paid. Or rather, cared too much. So… I hope one day I can find that again. Does it exist? Or am I purely just meant to keep doing what I am doing. Will my writing begin to support me? I am going to trust… I am taking this leap. And I will not stop. I am going to keep going. I am going to trust in what my gut continues to tell me.
And all the while still being mindful of what is taking place around me, and in my being. My gut says keep going… And I have heard some say to stop… I am going to press on.
What is holding you back? Is there anything? Are you exactly where you want to be in this very moment right now?
If not, what are steps you can take to get there?
Do you envision your future and now? Or are you unhappy with the now?
This is it. I am here. I am mindful. I am awake. Living this life fully awake. This is my leap of faith.
Thank you Jenn. Thank you Jackie. Thank you Rich Mullins.
Sending out so much love and light from me to the world.
