The Beckoning Path

The Beckoning Path

Last week I was invited by the lovely Erica Diamond to write a guest post for her blog Women on the Fence

She and I have recently connected on Twitter, and I have to say I love the name and concept of her site.  Women on the Fence, boy, I am one and I know many!  The tagline for her site is “For Women on the Fence in Life, in Love, at Work – It’s time to GET OFF THE FENCE and start living!”  I couldn’t have said it better myself, and am so pleased to contribute.

Here is the post I wrote, called “The Beckoning Path“.  Have a read, and I’d love to you to add your comments to those at the bottom.  So encouraging for us all to share our stories!

The Beckoning Path

Some people choose their path early in life and place one unfaltering foot in front of the other along it.  Happy with what they have, their lives move along without any major upsets; they are content.

I am not one of those people.  Twelve moves in fifteen years is all the proof I need offer.  And no, we’re not on the lam, I checked.

I am happy with the life I lead.  It is full of inspiration, blessings and comforts.  To want more is to seem ungrateful of the abundance already surrounding me.

But I would argue that there is a place for wanting more, for loving the path you are on yet seeing another nearby that looks more appealing.  What’s the catch?  It is easy to want more, but taking the plunge can be frightening.

    So Inspiring! I think as women it takes a while for us to consciously decide to take a hold of our life! You put into words what many women, including myself, feel when we are met with challenges in our life and have the guts to look back and learn both from our mistakes and our accomplishments. Writing gives us that freedom……..Kudos to you in making such a courageous choice that we can all sit back and enjoy. Thank you!

    I said it before and I will repeat:
    Thank you Jen for your insightful and inspirational post! I know there are many women who doubt themselves, and their dreams. But sometimes you gotta get up, stand up, face the music, and GO FOR IT! I did 8 months ago and it’s been the ride of my life! You’re welcome to come back anytime!
