Day 27:

Twenty seven days in, almost the month of February...nice. Honestly I am shocked I have stuck with it. My M.O. has been that of a bad competitive runner: start with all you've got, and burn out by mile two. Maybe I am learning pace as I go...

Or maybe I am still trying to figure out how to hold myself accountable for me. It's a specific kind of accountable; the one that can change your life. I'm getting there, and no one can get me there but me. I checked; Jet Blue doesn't fly you to your ideal life.Otherwise I would have booked the ticket.

YESTERDAY'S RISK: Saying No.

Highly recommend it. It's nice to know that your life and your wants are worth saying yes to. It amazes me how many times I let myself down by not putting any value on what I wanted. I think we all do.

TODAY'S RISK: Silence.

I have been putting this off for about three years. I usually have some type of noise in my house: television, music....computer. Every time I feel far away from everything I love, I tell myself I sit in silence for an hour and figure things out. I have yet to do it. But I am imposing some quiet time, no distractions, even though I crave them. As one of wisest people I know said: "Silence surrounds creativity." Thank you Pam Scott. You are right.
