Leap of faith

Life isn't about holding your experiences back. It's about doing it, just right, and no more. Sadly, many of us hold back too much, and go to the other extreme too much, and end up burned, either way.

The balance is easy to draw. Just when you think it may not work out, think about what you'll lose if don't go ahead. Will you look back in regret? Will you thank your stars?

It's what I've done most of my life. And it's called the leap of faith.

I did it once - with the person I loved. 15 years ago. And because of that one decision, will continue to do it all over again in a hundred aspects of my life. Because that one leap of faith made me believe that going ahead is better than regretting.

And ten years ago, we were both blessed with a little girl, who literally defied the doctors and came into this world. It just cemented my beliefs more.

What's your story, then? Ever taken that leap of faith in people, in work, in doing something mad and nutty? I have, and have ended up being called, "Rach, you're too much." Hence, the name of my blog.

The good or bad part is, as we grow older, I continue to keep that flame alive. This blog is about sharing all that and more with all of you. And having you come forward and tell me what you did that seemed a bit mad, but turned out just right for you.

C'on. Start now.

So many things in our lives are leaps of faith...marriage, kids, jobs, etc. It's amazing the amount of faith you have to have, even if you don't consciously realize it!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog!

It was a connect that made me do it. I think all of us working mothers have one thing in common: we love the thought of being able to have our way in life. We go along and make tiny compromises, that are worth the effort, in order to get the right balance for ourselves, our kids and our lives. You're doing a brilliant job!

Well, There are times when people ask the test of time...and words alone do not mean much, but somewhere they hope their actions speak for them.. all they look for is some faith…, and no amount of logic allows for faith to happen.. so I guess the term a "leap of faith".....

Just woke up after a good 12 hrs of sleep.. and don't know what i meant by that.. do you? ,, k.. back to ZZzzzzz.. Love that Post Rachooo!
