Find your garden!

Let me tell you a story about a guy who found his garden.

I think he has demonstrated tremendous courage. He had a long-standing but unhealthy marriage, with a wife who had been his best friend for over a decade. He was firmly established with friends and family in Maine, all the while knowing his spirit was sort of dying there. He hated the cold, he hated the energy of the city he lived in, he was truly sick and tired of his work and his life.

He tolerated this (suffered?) for a long time. And then he left.

He left the marriage. He left the work. He left the friends and family. He left the city, and the climate.

He had the courage to replant himself in a garden which is actually right for him. He thrives in the sun and the feel of Florida. He explores new and fresh aspects of what he can do for people professionally. And best of all, he plays music every day. He has new, freer friends. While everything isn’t perfect, he is finally in the right place and he feels it.

Now that’s courage.

What plunge are you longing to take? What garden do you long to grow in?
