At a glance, there’s nothing particularly special about today. I mean, we’re opening a show at the theater, and tomorrow is my high school best friend’s birthday, though we haven’t spoken in years (I do hope she’s doing well). Still, today feels somewhat fresh—like a new notebook. Maybe that’s because it’s the first day I’ve started writing in this blog, which I’m so happy and excited about. There’s something about putting words on a dedicated page that just inspires me.
In any case, this is one of those rare days when, even in the midst of imperfections, I feel a burst of hope and motivation for whatever lies ahead. Faith, to be more specific—faith in God. I believe He is with me, helping me with whatever I encounter, and with that faith comes courage and a deep sense of pride in my Father God.
Recently, I’ve decided to embrace the opportunities and moments that make me feel afraid or nervous. Some people know that I’ve historically been a squeamish driver. I haven’t driven consistently since before the pandemic, but now I’m getting ready to purchase my first car, and I’m excited about it!
This month and the next are packed with events and speaking engagements, and I’ll be meeting so many new people. Once upon a time, I would have shied away from these experiences, approaching them with timidity. But now, I’m planning for these opportunities, preparing myself, and stepping into them head-on—with faith that my Father is walking with me wherever I go.
There are also major projects in my life and at home that I’ve found intimidating, whether it’s updating my living space or managing finances. I understand that doing nothing and worrying is the most unproductive action I can take. And yes, I believe inaction is a form of action because it creates a force that negatively impacts my future.

I am encouraged instead to grab the horns of the bull called life.
