?Embrace the unknown?

As I stood on the pier of the dock outside the Presidio Yacht Club last week staring out at the Golden Gate Bridge memories and thoughts flitted across my mind. It was over 4 years ago that I was here, in San Francisco in this exact spot feeling excited, nervous, curious, expectant...about to head off into the unknown on a voyage of self discovery, camaraderie, perseverance and trust...
About to embrace the unknown in the most extreme way possible - a 9 month oceanic odyssey across the Pacific Ocean from THIS EXACT SPOT all the way across the world’s largest expanse of blue to Australia.
It’s still inconceivable to think we did this!!
As I stood on the pier I thought of my team and the feeling and sense of adventure and trepidation we shared. Of that leap of faith we all made. Of the insights that came from that leap, the experiences we went through, the lessons we learnt and of the incredible life changes that have come since.
I’m not exactly sure what I felt standing on the pier again, to be honest, but as the wind rushed past my ears and the clouds floated across the bridge...
there was a sense of deep gratitude. ?
Gratitude for where I am in my life right now. Gratitude for the opportunity that had come my way. Gratitude for the confidence that allowed me to seize that opportunity. Gratitude to my amazing team that shared that extraordinary journey, gratitude for the ability to continue sharing that journey with the world with Losing Sight of Shore on Netflix & gratitude for this moment to reflect.
Thank you everyone that supported us and made the push off from that pier possible. ????
Yes the unknown is scary - yes there will be moments when you don’t know whether you can do it or if it will really happen -
but take that leap...embrace the unknown...you never know what magic can come from it!
As we begin a new week...be brave, be courageous, embrace the unknown and be grateful!!
