Taking the Plunge

Do you ever find times where you just have to laugh at yourself? I'm finding I need to do this way more often, and not take life so seriously. I feel like it's a healthy mental practice. 

  So here I am talking with my good friend, and world traveler, Paige Baum.  I mentioned I had an opportunity for an upcoming trip to Europe and was telling her I wanted to go, but then started word-vomiting all the reasons why I *shouldn't* go; that 's when she said incredulously but with a chuckle, "JOSIAH, you have a travel blog and you've only traveled within the states". "GIRL you right", I said with a laugh.

  Here I am encouraging people to reject fear, step out in faith, and experience freedom there I was afraid to do that very thing; that's when I knew I needed to go. 

I texted my family member and told him I was in.
