It's been a little while...[WALK IN YOUR FEAR WITH GRACE]♥

It’s been a little while since I have posted on my website. Life becomes busy, and sometimes we don’t complete our original intentions.

Something had to give in my life and posting on my blog was one of them. For the people that know me well, they know I am in my Marriage and Family Therapy/Counseling degree. I am also a certified life coach. I am also of a lover of nature, hiking, working in my yard (always beautifying), the ocean, quiet time, journal writing, organizing, shining light on people’s day, being creative any way I can, and the most recent endeavor in the past year and a half, the painted rock movement.

I recently transitioned from Winnemucca, Nevada to Reno, Nevada. The main reason for doing this was my schooling. I am at the point in my degree that I had to consider what was best for my future. So here I am in Reno, NV (When I was a little girl, I lived in Reno) learning the city again, and LOVING it! I am also getting ready to head back into school, buckle down, and get REAL SERIOUS (I took the summer quarter off to move and get adjusted).

So this quote resonates with me as I am sure it resonates with many of you.

“Fear is the brain’s way of saying that there is something important for you to overcome.” ~Rachel Huber

I think we all have fear from time to time. It doesn’t matter who you are, what you do, what struggles you face (we all have them), the fact of the matter is, we all deal with fear. Maybe it’s something small, like fear of heights (THIS IS SO ME). Maybe it’s something a little larger like a huge life transition such as divorce (Geez, I’ve been there too). The point to all this is that regardless of your fear being small or maybe a little larger, it is your fear, and it is important to you.

I am organized, structured, and get a lot accomplished, but I have fear too. I do believe this quote has something to it. What is the fear is telling us? What is going to happen as you face a concern that is with you today? I have many experiences with fear. I don’t think I would be human if I didn’t. But what I can say is that with any doubt I’ve had, I have walked with it as gracefully as I could have at the time (sometimes better than others). In the end, I believe the importance of overcoming it, walking with it, accepting it, and treasuring the results accounts for growth. Walk in your fear with grace. ~ Sarah
