Lions and Tigers and Bears ............ Oh My!

Apologies to L Frank Baum and Judy Garland for stealing their line there....

But, it really has felt like that lately ....... my last blog was titled 'Follow the Yellow Brick Road' as it was a bit of a ramble - but I am definitely following some enchanted Path ..........

Now, what happens when you let go of fear, self-doubt and insecurity - well, something magical happens the authentic you takes a step forward and starts leading you gently by the hand to all things wonderful ....

 I've spent years doubting myself, worrying that I will fail and being too scared to speak up for what I feel is right for me........ and that's stopped .......... now, I do still have fears and doubts and worries - I am, after all only human, but I've stopped listening to that fear and started listening to the voice that says

GO FOR IT!

The worse possible outcome never happens - if I say no at work I'm not going to get the sack - and if I do - well then that wasn't the job for me..... if I eat that cake and my trousers get a bit snug - well, that's just too bad 'cos I like cake ........ and what is even more overwhelming for this bird is that ..............

People still like me ........... not one person has told me to 'go forth and multiply' and no one has told me to visit a taxidermist! In fact, I would say that's the most liberating thing of all - I've stopped worrying what people think of me .......... yes, I still value my friends and loved ones opinions - but I've stopped giving my power away ........ if I want to do something then I go and do it - the only person that I will defer to is my hubby ......... but don't tell him I said that!!!

I am in a good place (despite some pretty horrid things in the last week or so) ...... I'm feeling good about me and my Path, and its all because I stopped trying to halt the flow and well, just let it happen! ....

As someone once said .........



love Raven x x x
