"The line etched into a headstone between the dates of birth and death represent each step we take on earth and every single breath. To many, it is just a hyphen, marking time between the years, but in that little dash is a lifetime of laughter, love, and tears...Time steals our days and hours before we recognize the theft, and we live each day not knowing how much of our dash is left".

I'm Standing on the Edge...

A famous writer once declared... "Be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act." (Dr. Seuss) I guess it's safe to say that he knew a thing or two about life.

Life is uncertain sometimes. I have learned this in great detail the last few weeks. Fear has a funny way of creeping in during moments that leave  us standing on the edge of  several very difficult paths. Equally scary, and equally difficult. Finding the balance between using your head, and following your heart is probably the hardest balancing act we do in this life. A quote I have learned to live by says...

"When you come to the end of all the light you know,
and it's time to step out into the darkness of the unknown,
FAITH
 is knowing one of two things will happen:
Either you will be given something solid to stand on,
Or
You will be taught to fly"
 
I believe very much that faith allows us to act despite of doubt and fear. I'm grateful for the faith I have, It is going to be my constant guide through the challenges that lie just ahead.

If your on the edge, trust your heart. It may not lead you exactly where you thought, but it will take you where you need to be. And someday, someday it will all make sense.
 
 Keep the faith :)
