I have seen this quote popping up all over social media over the past week.  And I have to tell you that I keep reading it over and over.  I love it.  I love everything that this quote represents for so many of us...I am especially talking to myself here.   What happens if all those self doubts and insecurities and "what if's" get pushed aside and you jump?   What happens if you fly?

I love blogging, I don't know if you know this yet or have figured it out, but I do, I love it so much more than I ever thought that I would.  I love sharing recipes with you, I love talking to you about what's in my head and heart, I love hearing from you when you made something for the first time, or that maybe what I wrote touched your heart.  That makes it worth it. 

I will tell you that there are times though, when blogging sometimes feels like I am running up an endless set of stairs and can't quite get to where I am headed. 

It would be so easy for me to give up and say maybe I shouldn't do this anymore, because maybe it's only my close friends and family that are reading and maybe they don't really care what it is I have to say...

What if I fall? 

But man, what if I can fly...

Honestly that little bit of hope keeps me going and beyond that, I can't give it up, because the fact is, that even if my mom and my best friends were the only ones reading what I have to say, I would still do it, because I love it.  So I'm going to keep on climbing those stairs and I'm going to feel the burn while I do it, but it won't stop me.

So to all of you out there who maybe feel like not taking that risk, not following your dreams, not loving hard enough for fear of getting hurt, not going after your heart's desire for fear of falling right on your face.  I dare you...I dare me...I dare US to try...

Oh my darlings, what if we fly?
