Embracing Uncertainty: How Blind Leaps of Faith Can Lead to Living on Your Own Terms

Empowering Woman

I invite you to join me for a few minutes, keep your mind open, question yourself,

remember who you are and dare to dream.

My 54th year is ending soon- a long year of loss, change and letting go. And now,

rebuilding from the ground up-questioning how I want to move forward in the second

half of my life. I have made some decisions for myself.

• I refuse to stay safe.

• I refuse to try to continue to fit into little boxes that societal pressures have

created for me as I move from middle age into my crone years.

• I don’t want to stay small.

• I don’t want to live without deep joy.

• And I will be damned if I try to continue living in this world with fear.

In the last six months I have lost all contact with my grandchildren due to things outside

of my control. I have walked away from an 18 year relationship that kept me “safe”. My

children are grown- and they are living their glorious lives. I have no savings, no

retirement, no family support. And I have to leap.

I cannot confine myself any more for the feeling of safety.

I cannot live a life I don’t want to wake up to for one more second.

I have laughed, cried, screamed, isolated, felt sorry for myself, questioned my life and

its purpose. And I now know I have no choice but to leap- with all the ferocity in my

heart. I cannot wait. It is time.

I am done waiting to see who I can be and ready to step into who I really am. I refuse to waste any more seconds living from fear.

This year I pick myself -my dreams, my goals, my design for life, my terms. This half of

my life is about honoring the woman who is capable, willing, open, strong, confident,

wild and embracing all of life.

I am finding me. I have never felt so supported- because

I support me. I am my only job.

Deciding to recreate myself in this stage in my life is not a choice. I can’t live one more

second without integrity. I have gifts, talents, love and it is time to use them to live a life I

am excited to grind for!

I am leaving all safety. I am redesigning my life to make room

for a future I am proud to call mine. I hope to always inspire my children, my loved

ones, my grandbabies to know they can create their future, their lives, so they can leap

too.

I am breaking ancestral patterns of safety for the women around me. I don’t have

to stay in something because it is easy and convenient. I can break free and be

uncomfortable. I can live in truth. I can take big changes with large faith.

Smudging your space

You see, there is no choice. I am strong, confident, willing, open and can damn well do

anything I set my mind to! I am a force to be reckoned with. And I will jump!!!

That leap of faith, that opening of my heart, trusting the universe, has already come

back to me. The second I committed, no doubts, no fears, opportunities threw

themselves at me.

You see, I could keep safe and live a good and quiet life that I

cannot wait to retire from, or I can run wildly and blindly into bliss and follow my dreams.

I pick me.

So, I ask you:

 What dreams do you have?

 What fears do you let override your dreams?

 Is being safe better than being divine?

 What loss is too much for you? Is fear worth losing yourself to?

 Who do you want to be without confines or fear of what if?

 Will you regret part of your life?

 How can you let yourself be wild?

 Are you ready to be authentically you, in all your glory?

I invite you to join me, and ask, where can you leap?

My name is Hope Davis. I work with women who are looking to improve their lives

through mobility, yoga, nutrition, movement, and empowerment to become who they

were meant to be for the second half of their lives, so nothing holds them back.
