Act

Act--a word comprised of just three letters but it has the strength of ten.  I believe it is a word that sounds powerful and commanding.  It has urgency.

After you've reflected and meditated, waited, prayed, and reaffirmed, act.  Act on your instincts.  Act without delay...Act with your own best interests at heart...Act like the woman you've always wanted to be--and don't act surprised when suddenly your are!

Old Faithful Hiking Boots

So, I have chosen to put myself in motion and act with intention, but I also intend to act with grace.  There are shoes and boots that are labeled as useful for a variety of actives but I have never seen one advertised as the shoe or boot to wear if you want to step all over someone, and that is a good thing.

So, I am taking action to get myself connected in Anchorage.  I am taking classes.  I joined a committee at my church and, soon I will be starting a part-time (almost full-time) job, but along the way I intend  to stop to smell the roses.
