Are you a risk-taker?

Hmmm. My surface-brain says emphatically "NO," that I have faced too many challenges, and strifes, and unpleasantnesses to afford the luxury of taking risk. My True Self sees it otherwise. I am here, now, a very different Being than I was even 20 years ago. I have risked loving and being rejected. I have risked parenting alone, and faced many court battles. I walked away from the expected, and faced ridicule. I embraced my rebel spirit and found peace. I looked deep into the eyes of "inadequacy" and am finding perfection. At 50, I started and completed a Master's while raising 2 teens and working full time in an increasingly hostile environment.  I tell other women they are beautiful, and risk being their friend and sister, even when they respond with suspiscion or fear. I joined Zaadz. I blog  frequently, exposing my innermost thoughts and beliefs to "complete strangers" (no, you're not really, UR family of the heart). I continue to find the courage to stand with my principles and to offer truth and love, despite opposition at times. I risk falling back into a state of numbed/numbing mediocrity every time I listen to the old tapes that whisper "Who do you think you are. . . . . . .they don't want to hear your . . . .blah. . . blah. . . . ." so on a much truer level, I am very much a risk taker. The one thing I most treasure that I no longer consider risky? I love, and hug and Be.
