Who is this woman swimming at 53??

For a couple of decades, learning how to swim has been on my vision board, bucket list and in resolutions. Well, guess what Reader? At the beautiful age of 53, I've been slowly but surely teaching myself how to actually swim!

I've been in oceans all over the world and I've pool-noodled my way across some of the loveliest pools you'd ever see. I even had the audacity to get in a raft with 3 of my closest/craziest friends and let a speed boat pull us into the open sea! I'm still laughing and smh at that one.

I love water, I do. But this deep fear that I've never been able to explain has always shown up to paralyze me.

No more. I've broken through an invisible barrier and it feels glorious.

One of the reasons I'm so passionate about creating space (internally & externally) in your life is because it allows you to excavate, challenge, explore and even transmute.

What was hindering me in the past (and maybe you too):

  • I didn't have space. Trying something new, outpacing your fear, being vulnerable (especially at this big age)... that all takes up space. I made my life too full to include this deep desire.
  • I didn't create the time to learn. We think we don't have time but the truth is WE DON'T MAKE TIME. I made time for other things/people though.
  • I never PUT MYSELF FIRST long enough to learn. My husband swims like a fish and I made sure that both of my kids can as well. But me?
  • Swimming takes a whole lot of courage and trust. I told myself that growing my business took up everything I had. That wasn't true but it was the excuse I used.
  • My ego was too embarrassed. Too embarrassed to take a class, to admit it, and to flail and perhaps fail.
  • I have a lot of hair y'all Lol. I did want to get this hair wet and have to dry it everyday. Such an overused and bad excuse, I know!

The moral of this ongoing story, is this: I've never felt as FREE & AUDACIOUS as I do now.

Seeeeee, I'm doing it! Lol I have a long way to go but wouldn't you love to see aspects of yourself that you've never seen before at 53?? Leave me a comment here!
