My upcoming residency in France, healing and rebuilding trust in myself

Dreaming of doing something is one thing, taking the steps to do it is entirely different. Since paying my residency cost and securing my flight, I’ve been swirling with excitement and nerves. My tenacity shows in that I’ve gotten support for this opportunity, fundraising thousands of dollars in two years towards this once-in-a-lifetime trip. Still, I feel underprepared and don’t know what this experience will bring me. The things that are good and transformative for you come with nerves. I know that. So, I embrace not knowing. I make room for uncertainty and fear. I welcome the nervousness with my arms and heart wide open.
