3 Things I never thought I would do…

Published May 23rd, 2009

Do you sometimes look around and realize that big changes are happening, and for better or for worse, you have done or are doing things that are WAY out of your comfort zone? I mean you may feel scared, excited, angry, or even thrilled about doing something completely different and unexpected, but sometimes until you look back, you don’t see the effects that change has had on your life.

Sometimes the big changes involve your finances, relationships, your own personal development, or some combination thereof. The common element is that some part of you is different afterwards.

It has been my personal experience, often in hindsight, that even though a change may have been traumatizing at the time, I have come out stronger, more compassionate, and better for it.

Here are my 3 things I never thought I would do…

1. Ride a roller coaster

I mean a big one–I got over my fear by riding The Hulk at Universal Studios in Orlando! Staring perceived near-death in the face at breakneck speeds has really opened up a lot of doors for me, and made me less afraid of dealing with other challenges in my life.

2. Sell my house, quit my job, and move to a different city…all in about 3 weeks

This one is currently in progress, YIKES! More on this in the near future

3. Let myself get close to another dog

After I tragically lost my first love, Jasper, so suddenly one cold January night, I didn’t think I would ever let myself get so attached again. Sometimes we don’t get to pick who we love, love finds us. I now have Naula and Moab, and have learned that I have enough love in my heart for all of them.
