There was a time in my life where the unknown terrified me so much, that once I got my young son off to school, I would crawl back under the covers and hide. It was from this place I understood why women (and men) return to abusive relationships – they know what to expect. There is comfortableness in the familiar, even when the familiar is harmful or holding us back.

Last night I was reading a friend’s book – Sacred Success. She suggests asking yourself  “where you are giving your power away?” As my fingers dance across the keyboard and the words roll out on this screen before me, I ask myself, what is it I am doing that is familiar and because it is familiar it is comfortable? But is it comfortable as in cozy and peaceful, or comfortable as in hiding under the covers?

I can tell you this – every time I post something I have written, it is uncomfortable.  Every time I share my spiritual side of me – it is  uncomfortable. Every time I have a difficult conversation (the kind that takes days to work up the courage for) – it is uncomfortable.

Now I’m crying. I stopped writing and began thinking of what my life would be like, had I not crawled out from underneath those covers.

So I ask you (and me too) where are you hiding under the covers?

Here’s to stepping into the zone of uncomfortableness, this is where living begins!

Wishing you a life full of discovery, growth and a whole bunch of fun!
