Brave Choices

Glennon Doyle, if you don't already know her, is an author who cohosts the podcast, We Can Do Hard Things with her sister, Amanda, and wife, former US professional soccer player Abby Wambach. 

I've followed Glennon for nearly a decade, reading her books that tell her story of triumph and unraveling, coining the phrase "brutiful" about this experience of life that is both beautiful and brutal at once. She is a beacon of light for so many, and I'm grateful for her courage to let us in so that none of us feel alone in this journey. 

This week, I've had to do a really hard thing, and I'm allowing for the space to grieve a shift in business I was hoping to avoid. But life brings us opportunities to learn, and I am learning a lot and grateful for the patience and understanding of the people affected by choices I had to make and the knowing that all will be well in the end, goals will still be achieved.

Sometimes the right thing to do is also the hardest thing to do. If you are faced with a situation that isn't quite working the way you'd envisioned, I invite you to get curious. What are ways you could look at it differently? Ask for support and clarity? Get clear on the bottom line and ultimate desired outcome? And from that place, hopefully, you'll have the courage and clarity to take the next right step. 

Because we can do hard things. And we can be brave, every day. 

With love,
Renee
