Beginnings

be·gin·ning

[bih-gin-ing]
–noun
1. an act or circumstance of entering upon an action or state: the beginning of hostilities.
2. the point of time or space at which anything begins: the beginning of the Christian era; the beginning of the route.
3. the first part: the beginning of the book; the beginning of the month.

So here we are: on a fresh page, at a new intersection, at the beginning of...something.
Of what exactly I hestitate to say for I have learned that nothing is really what you might expect.  Also, I am practicing the concept of trying to remain as open as possible to the process itself, rather than clinging to an idea of what something could or should be.  (thank you Deepak).

My hope, however, is that this becomes a place that feuls me, and ideally others as well, as we travel along all the various intersections of our journeys. Beginnings are always challenging to some degree.  We are after all, creatures of habit, preferring the familiar and practiced, sometimes even if causes pain, discomfort or boredom.  So this post is dedicated to all of those who are stepping off of familiar paths and daring to follow their inner compass.
