A little insecure. A little worried. A little vulnerable to the elements.  The good news is, those scary vulnerable unavoidable feelings don’t have to be all encompassing and can be made less powerful through direct recognition and balance.  The future is still in progress, so I can and should be doing what I can to make it better and more approachable and more enjoyable and more comfortable and more sustainable but I also should not be wasting my one beautiful and temporary life freaking out about everything that could go wrong.  Read Julie's Medium Blog .
