I totally love thinking about what life with less fear looks like.  {It's pretty amazing!}  It takes so much courage to be brave!  But then it offers freedom and hope and depth and real relationships.  Courage allows us to take off our masks and be who we are meant to be.  We get to share our unique and beautiful gifts with the world.  We get to give and receive love in abundance.  Who doesn't want that?!

What does your life look like when you dream about acting from love and not fear?  What are the little mini steps you can take today to start moving in that direction?

I think courage is a muscle--the more we use it the stronger it gets!  Good luck with your Less Fear Workout!  Let us know how it's going!

I totally love it when unexpected things or long hoped for things work out in amazing ways!  I've been experiencing this since I was a teenager.  I would run after something, and then voila, in some unexpected way it would be available to me.

This is how I spent two summers in high school in Alaska.  This is how I got my favorite job EVER--Americorps volunteer.  This is how I made off debt that exceeded one year's income in just two years.  And the list could go on and on.  It isn't always easy, but it's always AMAZING.

When things work out in unexpectedly beneficial ways, some people call this serendipity.  This photo is a lovely bit of serendipity.  I went outside the coffee shop and gallery where some of my art was showing, and I wanted to photograph in the window.  It was such a bright sunshiny day that the reflection of the building where my new art studio is located appears at the same time.  I can't even believe I'm saying that my art is in a gallery show and I have studio space in an art center!!!  It's a total dose of serendipity!

Have you been experiencing any serendipity?  or blessing?  or universe conspiring?  I hope so!
