Potential

Potential.

Its something i have been thinking a lot about lately.  All i could do, all i could become.

So many roads to choose.  So many places to reach outside out my comfort zone.

It's big.  It's really big to take that leap and show who you are.  To take that step into the unknown, and express your true being.

I have always been one to enjoy my alone time.  When i was young, i would decide to spend days at home with my parents and brothers over those at friends houses.  I was in my comfort zone and safe.  I chose to home-shcool along side my brothers for a few years, when the pressure and intensity of middle school was too much. 

I have always found my own way, my own path.  I went through a few years where i was uneasy.  Where i was not my true self.  A few years when i was trying to fit in to whatever college told me to be.

Since being with my husband, i have begun to break off my shell, piece by piece.  Exploring into the world of homemaking and comfort.  Finding happiness in writing in photography.

This blog, this space, was the beginning for me.  The beginning of my journey as a wife, a woman and a place for my creative energy to flow freely.

My next step?  It terrifies me.  To push my comfort zone even further.

But i know the next step will be just the beginning, so i have to take the leap.

I want to write all of the time.  I love to write and document our life.

I want my photos and words to reach out beyond this.  I need to introduce my blog to the world beyond my immediate family.

This is sure to be an opening door for me.  If i don't try, I'll never know. 

The most beautiful things happen when you push your boundaries,

when you step out of your comfort zone....

and show the world all of who you truly are.

So this week, i will send in my writing and photographs.  I will put on the postage with strong, confident hands, and a positive heart. 

Yes, this is just he beginning, for that i am certain.
