In life, we can suddenly be faced with a physical, emotional crisis. Yet, in reality, nothing happens suddenly. It’s much like tying to buy insurance after the fender bender. Or more dramatically, wishing there was a safety net to catch us when we are falling. If the net or the insurance is not in place in advance, we must move forward without protection.

As many of us do, I often wrestle with what is a practical life choice and what is the impractical thing that my heart is asking me to be or do next.
