‘A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.’ Oliver Wendell Holmes This is the road between #Asilah #Morocco and #Tangier along a #coast that has been a #placeofinspiration for many. #tennesseewilliams #beatpoets #beatles #rollingstones #newhorizons #growthmindset #travel

Loved #asilah #morocco where I spent #summersolstice last June. As I watched the tide rise and recede from the rooftop, I fell again into the unforced rhythm of grace. The #coast, the #sea of #northernafrica always moves and steadies me. Story linked on profile.

I hate #lettinggo of summer— the season that gives me time and space to #explore. Returning to #morocco last June was a blessing. Rest, #adventure, preparation for what lies ahead. Photo credit @morocco_bespoke

I knew the #phoenix rises from the ashes. What I didn’t realize until a year ago when I turned a corner on Belmont’s campus to start another new job and saw this statue, was that the bird set its own nest on fire. It chose to be changed. #Change comes whether we like it or not. Life is lighter when we believe God’s promise to make #beautyfromashes. On this day 4 years ago, I woke up for the first time in #Morocco. I had left an #emptynest and followed God to a place I’d never seen because He called me there promising beauty from ashes. Since that move, I’ve lost more than expected but gained more than imagined. Roses in the desert. #Change is hard. Sometimes brutal. Sometimes we step out in #faith, find new beauty, adventure, and relationship, but when the next change/challenge comes, shrink back in fear, grieving the past, wishing for the familiar, too tired to start over. We’ve burned the nest so we can’t go back. But then we remember why we left. It had already changed. It was empty. And we were called to a #newseason. We were called to #riseandfly. #mondaymotivation #singlemom #emptynester #newjob #newlife #internationalteacher #newschoolyear #writer #blogger #christfollower #faith #encouragement #hope #lifeisajourney #transition
