Bomb In a Birdcage

It's the ride we take

the many winged escape

it's the bough we break

to blow away

The saying you see above is so true.

I've always been a wild and free spirited girl.

A big believer in following my heart.

Sometimes I come off as naïve and stupid,

or I look like the bad guy for finally standing up for myself and going after what I want. 

What the naysayers usually find out is...my heart always leads me to where I need to be.

(With the help of intuition) It's always right.

I am going to take an enormous leap of faith in a few months.

The road hasn't been and will not be easy.

There are judgments, there are doubters, there is fear.

There is gossip, there are questions, there is nervousness.

But yet through all the storms, I have confidence I am on the right path.

It's having faith.

You simply just know.

Taking chances is so important.

If you never do, you might never know how good something could have been.

After my trip to Paris, I learned such a hard lesson.

"What ifs" made me skip out on a moment that would have been wonderful.

For most of my life I've been told what to do.

What I can do. What I can't or shouldn't do.

I am a bomb in a birdcage and when I am set free, I am going to soar.

I'm going to be me.

I'll follow my heart and be where I need to be.

I'll love who I want to love.

We only have one life and I want to live each day like it were my last.

It's time to prepare to fly away.

Your intuition beckons you to take flight, and it also assures you that the leap of faith on which you embark will lead to your destiny. The Emerald Isle awaits...when you and your suitcase filled with love arrive the Isle will be richer by one fine gem. Good luck and God's speed! take care...dan
