test drive...

I am really not sure what to even write, other than things in Switzerland are going as they should.

I have spent the last week or so reflecting on who I am, from where I have come and where I am headed.

I arrived to Denmark a broken person, running from myself. Last August I started on an amazing growth journey that has taken about eight months to complete. I liken my being in Switzerland as putting my rediscovered self, my wholeness and health on a

…“test drive”: to take what I have learned about myself,

my fears, where they come from, my joy, my passion, what stirs the little one inside and how to keep her from getting behind the wheel (after all, the driving age is 18 for a reason!) and put it to work. See how far I have come and to become an even more beautiful person—one, in addition to all things beautiful and positive, who focuses upon and trusts the process itself.

I owe it to myself first and the ones I love.

As I said to someone who is close to me back home--when I told him the news about my new job and leaving Denmark for Switzerland-- sometimes you have to leave in order to come back.

question— to where is your drive leading?

I'm so proud of you. I think it takes a lot to do what you've done in such a short time.

I feel like lately I have NO idea where my drive is taking me, I used to be able to 'see' months and years in advance and lately I feel like I'm not even sure where the next day will be taking me, at first I was paniced but slowly and carefully I've adjusted to seeing where the wind takes me and trusting it will drop me somewhere softly
