Everyday Courage

Good Morning.

For a while now I've being humming, "put one foot in front of the other."

It sorta became the theme song for this blog, at least for the beginning of it. I saw many courageous people, mostly woman, taking steps forward. Taking chances. Moving outside their comfort zone. Taking one step at a time.

But really, just taking that first step.

This video is not the scene I remember from my childhood but a spirited updated version.

Enjoy.

Enjoy you. Enjoy others. Enjoy your weekend. Smile and be courageous in your truth.

In Love and Footsteps,

Yasmeen

Thanx: To all the kind souls out there who continue to put forth love, caring, compassion and guidance. The world needs you. Appreciates you.

Song: Good Morning Starshine from Hair

Vibe: Mellow but a little anxious and sleepy. Sleepy week.

Special: I believe that at the heart of our nature lies good, lies feel good. Step towards your truth. Step towards your light.

Musing: Okay...diggin' today's tag cloud. We'll keep ya.

I might be shy. You might be shy. Or, we may not be. But, sometimes shy or bashful or quiet or introverted or awkward or unsure or confused or overwhelmed or a whole host of other labels can put us in a space of reservation.

A sort of holding space until we are ready to advance.

Sometimes it's a stuck place or an immobilized space or a weird space or a yucky space that we don't want to be in but we won't leave. We know it. It knows us. Keeps us safe and known but maybe just maybe wanting to step out, maybe just maybe wanting to try something new, maybe just maybe thinking, dreaming or fantasizing about other possibilities.

Sometimes, we are afraid to take steps forward. Sometimes, we are afraid to let go of the past reasons why taking steps forward may not work for us. Sometimes, we are not ready. The possibility of forward movement is simply, well just too much to process.

So we stay where we are, thinking, dreaming and fantasizing.

But sometimes we are not aware that by stepping out, we are essentially opening the door, clearing a path, for others. Maybe. Sometimes it's opening the door for us. Laying the path for us to go forward. Sometimes, it's freeing. And just like in the song I'm listening to it helps us to "stand a little taller"

In Love and Stepping,

Yasmeen

Music: Stronger by Kelly Clarkson

Vibe: Low energy energized. Strong and confident.

Special: I spoke up yesterday. Shared my truth. That was cool.

Thanx: To AM for providing the forum to share.

Musings: I used the word "sometimes," a lot. And "maybe." Hmm...

More Musings: I don't fully get this tag cloud up there but we'll see. Studio of our mind? Art of the soul? I wonder where it gets its ideas.
