Why I Started When a Gypsy Whispers

Here I was sitting with a gnawing feeling that would just not go away. I kept feeling like I had yet to reach my purpose, and I was struggling with finding a way to make it happen. It just seemed that life kept getting in the way.

First off, getting to know me is to know that I have always been that adventurous girl...the one who can and has dived headfirst into new adventures. Whether it literally meant diving into the frozen waters of Lake Michigan for charity, or jumping out of a plane with a parachute, jetpacking over water with absolutely no balance (LOL), rolling down a hill in a hamster ball, sliding the sky slide of the tallest skyscraper in the West, ziplining over canyons or a Sturgis motorcycle rally or upside down over 9 waterfalls in Hawaii; hand gliding, parasailing, and swimming with the sharks, so why was I so tremendously scared to take this step?

I was finally after MANY... MANY years of taking care of others in a financial position to consider myself and my OWN dreams for once. If I sold NOTHING at all, I could still walk away knowing I did it. I could say that I dared to climb the World’s scariest steps (in my mind) and reached my goal. BUT, knowing I might fail always ebbed at the back of my mind. Additionally, leaving a very stable job to create one’s Dream Career is a whole other level of terror.

SO, WHAT DID I DO? I took the leap after I reached out to a friend who is both a family member and a life coach. Something I thought I would never do... but “destiny” was calling.

I had to try. After all, I had family and friends alike rooting for me. My brother, Mike, sealed it for me when he said, “I see where your heart is running with it, man, don’t stop, you’re inspirational and I appreciate you and your risk-taking adventures.”
