Comfort Zone

I love personal growth and development. I’m someone who will jump head first into learning something new whenever I can. I am a life long learner, and I love feeling the stretch that comes when you step out of the comfort zone. During this 31 day immersion program, I’m stepping out of my comfort zone, every day This group has reminded me that life is not going to be perfect…. ever! It means letting myself just type on this blog everyday for 31 days. Because this dream needs to grow. Maybe it will grow into the book I have said I was going to write for nearly20 years. Or maybe it will take on a direction that just makes my heart smile.

Today was one of those days. At work today, we were planning to have an event to “Kick Out Child Abuse.” Many non-profits are cancelling or rescheduling events. But, April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and I felt that even though the event was not what we originally planned, it was still an excellent time to virtually bring awareness to our program. So, instead of second guessing, I recorded and uploaded a YouTube Video (My first EVER) - AND - the event was held over zoom and Facebook Live! It was so much fun!!! I honestly can’t stop smiling. The energy the families brought to the event while they virtually kicked over 5000 kicks brought so much awareness for our program.

I’m not sure where this dream is going, but I do know… I will be stepping out of my comfort zone, documenting and learning from it the next 24 days! (And beyond)
