So I was just catching up on Jen’s blog, follow my bliss. And, it is absolutely thrilling to see how her site has just caught like wildfire over the past week! She began writing about her “journey to quit her desk job” 10 months ago, and Friday was her last day there. And, one day last week, her blog was featured on the WordPress homepage. One entry alone had 50+ comments! WOAH! (Ya know, you hang out on a boat in the middle of the ocean for ONE week and you miss everything!)
It’s a great confirmation that she is making the right decision, and at exactly the right time too. As my friend Phil Wells says, “You can wait and wait for the right time to pull the trigger, but no time is ever perfect. Leap.” Well, I think Jen saw the edge for a while and peaked over it. And then, her gut told her when it was the right time to leap, so she did. She didn’t have a plan in order, she just knew it was time. Her site is really taking off right as she is taking that leap. (Because she is taking it!) Talk about synchronicity.
I really admire her gutsiness to be so emotionally open and vulnerable in her blog. This is something I have trouble doing right here. What if people think what I say is cheesy? What if people think I’m this or that or blah or blee or blah or bloo! Jen is an inspiration and encouragement for me—to have BUCKETS of courage in sharing herself with the world through her writing. And seeing over 100 comments on her page from the past week alone, written by people who are encouraged by her story and everything she shares is so thrilling. What a wonderful seal on the deal.
Here’s a poem blessing for JEN.
JEN JEN
soar sister soar

jog sister jog
enjoy the morning runs
and the afternoon walks
take naps with the cats
savasana!
