“Is this seat taken?” Lacing up your running shoes for the first time in years. Putting in your two week’s notice. “I’m pregnant.” Walking into your first AA meeting. Buying the one-way ticket. An urgent voicemail from your doctor’s office- “Please call us back immediately.” Journeying with plant medicine. Pressing “Publish.” A 3:45 am phone call. Smiling at a stranger from across the room. Turning in your final thesis. Signing the divorce papers. Signing up for singing lessons. Receiving the keys to your first house. Adopting a puppy. Making your first sale in your business. “I think we should talk.” Deciding to leave. Deciding to stay. Deciding to wear your bike helmet even though you’re riding just a few blocks away. Meeting your best friend at 53. Finally getting that mole checked out. Choosing to change cities. Choosing to change jobs. Choosing yourself. Opening up that email. Opening up to a friend for the first time. Opening up to life.
