Where Do We Go Next?

The truth is, nobody really knows what happens next. 

At the stroke of midnight,  people will celebrate the close of a year that has felt absolutely interminable. We all hope things get better, we talk about how we are hopeful - but what are we going to DO to make it better?

I'm a storyteller. In the words that I write, in the food I prepare, in singing, in decorating my home, in my garden. Until now, much of my storytelling has been reflective, introspective. In this new year, I want to tell stories that bring us together. I'm stepping out of my own head, and writing words that tell the story of courageously walking towards that big fat question mark. 

What happens next? Don't know, and it doesn't matter. I'm stepping out to meet it no matter what it is. I'm not hiding behind pretty words for another day of my life. 

What would my life be like if I finished my certificate and got a job at a school? I don't know, but I'm doing it anyway.

What would it feel like to take time to read the books I've wanted to read? No idea. Let's do that too.

How would things change for me if I stopped talking about dropping my extra weight and DID it instead? Let's find out. 

What would it look like to share more stories that make a difference? Heck, I'll do that too.

Let's do ALL OF THE THINGS. Or at the very least, have a crack at them, laughing along the way. 

Happy New Year to all my family and friends. It's a great time to DO life.

XO, Sarah
