Leap of Faith

The Fool confidently leaping into the unknown.

Considering changing your life? Afraid to take that first step? I have sure been there!

Taking the first step toward freedom was exhilarating when I accepted this challenge in my thirties. It required a leap of faith when I had no clear path before me—live without a net! This period was filled with a mix of fear and excitement, and I was never certain whether I would land safely or fall flat on my face (which happened several times!). The journey certainly wasn’t linear. Somehow, I managed to land on my feet, though covered in scrapes and bruises! Gradually, I began to find my footing, and through it all, I experienced the magic of synchronicity. My fears were balanced with feelings of awe and gratitude, my mettle was tested, and many of my choices were questionable. Yet, I still felt somehow protected by the universe.

Throughout this process, I shed layers of my old self and the grief I carried through physical work and play while learning a new way of being, where I discovered my strengths. But old fears and guilt didn't vanish, and I crawled back home out of fear and obligation. Every door that opened for me was ill-fitting, and I knew that I needed to go back and face my future, or I wouldn't grow as a person. So I returned to welcoming arms and made a new life for myself.

This path isn’t for everyone, but it is sometimes necessary for those dissatisfied with the status quo—those with a calling, leaders, artists, dreamers, or those whose time has just come to bet on themselves.

If this sounds like you, but you aren't sure where to start, I would love to do a reading for you!
