I’m in Philadelphia this week, with my daughter. She’ll finish graduate school this summer and is thinking of moving here. So we’re checking it out.
My room in our Airbnb apartment has this cheap sticker thing stuck on the wall. It says Every great journey begins with one single yet brave little step. It’s a platitude, of course. And probably something stolen off of Instagram. Or maybe Pinterest.

But I’ve woken up and stared at it for the last three mornings and it’s getting to me.
It’s the words ‘brave little step’ that are resonating with me.
It’s January 3, 2020 as I write this, the third day of a new year — and a new decade. It feels like the start of something new. Something fresh. Anyone could do anything, if they really wanted to.
That’s the truth. There are a hundred different journeys you could embark on right now. Me, too.
