So true! I've had 4 bouts of depression, but I Jump back in, leaping into the Unknown and I am Grateful. We ALL need to Dive back in and not allow Fear to leave us on the Shore. It does take great courage to be vulnerable; indeed be Strong to be Soft. Agreed, "Risk is not easy, but I think it is much harder in the long run to let loss trap you into living a bland existence, devoid of the joy of triumph, and the glory of love." Here's to taking Risks! I'm living it every day. After selling my home & possessions to create and facilitate a volunteer literacy project on my own. I just returned from 30 days volunteering in Kenya where I collected True Stories from Widowed Women who Refused to Follow Tradition and are Thriving with a Farming Cooperative. And the True stories of Teen artists in Kibera slum sharing their talents. Their stories will eventually become a book in a partnership. a Risk in reaching out, in being Vulnerable. Feeling Blessed. Thank you so much for the encouragement! HUG from my heart to yours.
