Good morning my fellow walking warriors!

Another week as arrived

So here is another confession of a walkaholic

This morning after a long night of hurting and no sleep

Got up and just thought about that word fear

How sometimes it can run my life

Sometimes it can be what I run off of

How it can play such a big role in life

But I just know I am responsible for this thought about fear

And the role it plays in MY life

Yes it is a part of life but not if I don’t want it to be

I know I can still survive even if I feel fear

I thought I’m not going to let fear get the best of me

So I just put my walking shoes on and I got Stella up

We just went outside, smiled, and said a prayer

Then we just started walking

I had no idea how far I could make it this morning

But I just accepted the distance I could make it

The hope of making it helped

With each step it was another step of hope

Take that extra step of hope

And then another

And another

I walked with my girl till I had to stop for a minute

Took a deep breath, smiled, and said out loud

You got this , take it , do it , go for it

I did it

I took that extra step

It’s only

“One Step Away“
