Today's theme is What If. . . Wednesday. What if. . .? What if you stepped out of your comfort zone to try something new? What if you decided to strike up a conversation with that really cool mom at the park? What if you applied for the fabulous sounding job of a lifetime even though your current job is okay?
So many of us stick to our everyday routines, go with the flow, or hold onto habits. Since leaving my job as a counselor at the local community college, I've discovered I'm much happier the times I've taken a risk or tried something new. Take this blog, for instance. I'd say putting my life, struggles, and insecurities out there for public view is stepping out of my comfort zone just a bit. But, in doing so, I've developed a renewed sense of purpose, found the motivation I needed to start writing, and met a lot of interesting people along the way. The rewards were worth the risk.
As I work toward my goals, I will continue to take risks, and I'll share those endeavors with you each Wednesday. Maybe following my leaps will inspire you to take some baby steps of your own. And please feel free to make a comment and share your experience; what if. . . we motivate each other?
Great post all around, my risk was committing to going back to school
and doing the job I've been wanting to for years and years 
You have a very pleasant
way of writing, as soon as I figure out how to make a blogroll I'm going to add yours!
"Talk to the cool mom at the park" - that cracks me up. You're right about stepping out of our comfort zones. I think it's so hard for stay at home moms to find friends - especially if you're not into the effort that it takes to go out and FIND friends! I'm happy to find your blog, Mary
Thanks for stopping by mine!
