What are you saying yes to in your life? What have you said yes to that changed your life? How has yes been a part of your year so far? Do you practice yes or no? Maybe there is something you need to not say yes to. What writing comes to you from yes?

This year, I am saying yes to life. I am saying yes to the things that make me uncomfortable and frightened but that I know will help me to grow into the person I need to be.

Less than a week ago, I said yes to spending a week four hours away from home, away from husband, with no internet connection whatsoever and dodgy at best mobile phone reception. This will be the first time I have been completely alone for that amount of time and not at home. And with nothing to do but write.

I’m am saying yes to saying no. I am not letting what I think I should be doing overwhelm what I need to be doing (and not doing).

I am saying yes to moving on to the next stage of my life.
