Come to the edge.
We might fall.
Come to the edge.
It's too high!
Come to the edge!
And they came
And he pushed
And they flew.
- By Christopher Logue

I’m sure we’ve all had times in our lives when we feel a change is coming.

When instinctively we know it’s time to veer left, onto a road we may not be as familiar with and can’t know what lays ahead.

But then, we can never know what lays ahead anyway. We may think we’re in a ‘safe place’ in life, but the truth is, there’s risk baked into everything!

Sometimes we’re ready to take the leap into the unknown, looking forward to a change of scenery or new adventure. Maybe more often than not, we hold onto the current/familiar for a little longer.

I most definitely knew it was time for me to take the leap of faith and set up my own clinic, in my bush paradise in Dereel.

I also had all the reasons why not to repeating on loop. I will miss my colleagues, truth, it was a financial risk, yes, maybe no one would travel to Dereel and locals wouldn’t be interested, possible...

Ultimately though, it’s so important to acknowledge our instincts and trust its guidance. Accepting the risk with an open heart to the whole range of possibilities in every movement of life.

This is not always easy! In the end I was pushed through circumstance.

After the initial shock I immediately felt grateful.

I was free to explore, exactly where and how my instincts had been directing me to be.

Now I come to celebrate my 6 months solo 🥳 and am happy to say I’m free and flying.

I love being surrounded by my animals and the natural bush, the short commute of about 50 paces is super convenient and it turns out there are many local folk or others happy to travel here 😇

I don’t know how I’ll respond next time I feel those instinctual stirrings on a bigger issue, but in the meantime I’ll be listening and practicing on the smaller ones 🤓

A very special thanks to my beautiful family, friends and patients for supporting me on this journey 🥰😍
