Stepping Out



Today I choose to take the risk of stepping just a little outside my comfort zone.  It is important to stay safe, however, I can sometimes over compensate in protecting myself and others.  I forget that I am no longer living in a neighborhood of danger, as I often was as a child.  Now, I have a choice about who I trust and befriend.  I have also developed useful coping strategies I didn't have when I was younger.  I choose to lower the wall of defense and allow deeper connection with those I have come to trust.  I will crack open the door to new connection, knowing I am capable of setting boundaries and safeguarding myself when required.  

It is time to let go and free myself from self-imposed limits that are no longer necessary.  I can care and be cared for, this is my legacy.
