  • The Leap of Faith

    Question: when are you ready? Answer: never, but you can pick your moment.

    Let's talk about the leap of faith! When have you looked at the unknown and run at it full speed? Any regrets? It's been 12 years since I took a major one, and there is a LOT I would do differently... but I never would have learned what I know now if I hadn't taken that leap.
