Life is only but a journey and nothing else unless we are willing to participate in it.  I am at a pivotal time in my life that the Universe is asking more of me.  The choices are not always easy to make because of the sacrifices we must be willing to endure or weigh.  In the past year, this has been a theme in my life with great intensity.  It has not been an easy road, but I know it is all worth it.  There are always risks involved.  I have always trusted and the Universe has always provided.  Sometimes we just need to rest and assess where we are at in our journey.  We sometimes run low on gas and need to make a stop and refill.  When we are ready to continue again in our road trip, we zoom ahead with greater speed and effort than before.  The desire must be greater than the sacrifice if we want to continue on course.  Keeping up with our intentions allows are dreams and visions for ourselves even more possible.
