Here I sit, half scared out of my mind and half so excited I can't sleep. I won't get into all the specifics on this first post, but the tall and the short of it comes down to one little question: Do we dare?
Do we have what it takes to go somewhere different, start something new, strike out on a crazy adventure that makes our breath catch, our hands tremble, and our knees knock together?
Do we have the cojones to re-establish ourselves in a foreign land? Okay, maybe not a foreign land... maybe it's just Wisconsin... but it might as well be the freaking moon!
Do we dare forge a totally different future for ourselves at 38 and 35 years old? Right when our contemporaries are putting braces on their kids, upgrading to the car with all the options, digging that in-ground pool they've been dreaming about, padding their retirement accounts, raking in the big bonuses, striving for that senior position at work... do we dare throw caution to the wind and start completely over?
