Hello world, I am having a dreaming/deep thinking/ life thoughts kind of day. The kind of day when I am a DREAMER. The kind of day when anything is possible,and possibilities seem endless. The kind of day when I just want to get out there and do it. The kind of super pumped, super enthusiastic about life and my passion kind of day. A day full of dreaming, goal-setting, business planning, and prioritizing. A Mightly Leaf Earl Grey tea, my favorite throw blanket, warm fire place, and some good ol’ Lady Antebellum background music kind of day. For me, the mad typing, daydreaming, and being at home without a 10 page to do list is my “sweetness of doing nothing”. For those of you who have seen Eat, Pray, Love you know what I mean. ;) Every time I watch that movie I swear my perspective on life changes. Don’t ask me why, because I have NO idea. It is honestly not the kind of movie I would usually choose but there is something about it I just can’t quite figure out. Maybe it is the whole idea of just jumping at opportunities and doing it. Maybe it is not having a plan, or having a set schedule every week. Maybe it is not having that small black organizer with a monthly calendar and daily to-do lists. *cough* Taliah *cough*. It could be the delicious pasta and cooking, ;) but I think it is merely the affirmation to not be afraid. To let go of the fear and take risks not only in my business but in life as well. It is like my focus re-shifts and this no fear, adventurous, risk taker Taliah comes back to visit. 

A few weeks back at REV, it was the kick off of the new year. Everyone was super pumped up, catching up from the break– you know, like going back to school after Christmas holidays. Ok, so I was sitting beside this absolutely wonderful friend of mine talking about New Years resolutions. Now, I have never really been one for New Years resolutions… (or to stick to it for the full year at least) BUTT… What she said really stood out to me: to not live in fear. Her resolution was to not live in fear. It completely caught me off guard as I thought about the true meaning of that and what it would mean to me. Imagine for even the next month on a daily basis not living in fear. To go to work, go to school, hang out with friends, to love, to completely follow God… without fear. To stop looking ahead and completely enjoy every second of my life… Every moment, every coffee date, every girls night, every conversation, every prayer, and every song. To love, be challenged, grow, and give– without fear. To live a life– scratch that… To live EACH DAY without fear knowing that “Our God is Able” of far more than we could ever imagine.  The longest journey starts with a single step. I believe that. So step… without fear.
