Jump!

I often start conversations inquiring about the person with whom I am speaking; so as of late, I have begun offering more insight into who I am...an attempt to be more fair I presume!

My favorite part to offer up is the fact that I am married to a US Army veteran who I am proud of for both his service to a country I love and his dedication to the family WE created.  He has proven to be an amazing battle buddy and has provided much support throughout the years.

I am a business woman, wife, mom, daughter and sister to people who love me and support each cause I undertake.  That support has given me the courage I have needed to "jump" in each phase of my life.  I had to "jump" after undergrad and accept a job 700 miles from home.  I had to "jump" two years later as my family relocated via military assignment another 900 miles, then back 1200 miles to the side of the country where we started.  In 2012, our family had to "jump" when my husband was discharged from the military and my childcare business was forced to close.  My most recent "jump"... leaving my full time salaried job to pursue the career I wanted in real estate.  Each jump has reinforced in me to not allow fear to dictate the next phase because although there is a chance something could go wrong, there is just the same chance that it can go right beyond what you have ever dreamed.

My challenge to you is simple.  "Jump!"  The next phase for you can be greater than what you dreamed but you will need to gather the courage to create an updraft on which you can soar...how do you do that? Jump.
