Life is about movement, moving forward, regardless if we want to or not.  It’s about growing as a person, and yes, stepping out of the proverbial box.

For someone who is a tiny bit afraid of heights, I never thought I’d be taking aerial yoga classes at the Detroit Flyhouse.  I didn’t think I’d be trying to flip myself upside down while I have my foot locked into fabric.  And I certainly never envisioned myself flying in mermaid pose on a trapeze.

This step of leaving my comfort zone has been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had.  A month ago I didn’t even know something like this existed.

Clearly, I need to open my eyes to opportunities that  are less mainstream.  I’ve never felt particularly trendy or with the “popular” crowd.  I’ve tried, but it never felt right.  The more I embrace marching to my own tune, the more like me I feel.

For someone who is slightly antisocial I never thought I’d attend a blogger meet up.  I didn’t think I’d have so much to laugh and talk about.  And I certainly didn’t know that after meeting these 6 awesome ladies, I’d have wonderful new friends.

2010 is the start of exploring things I would never think of, going places I didn’t know existed and putting myself out there.  I suppose that is what living is.  Not only learning each day but taking chances and risks.

If you take a good look at your life, is that what you are doing?  And if not, what’s stopping you?
