The Thang

As celebration to a local pax and remembrance to another, the post was themed ‘Baby Steps.’ The PAX start small and build up to something difficult, all the while taking ‘Baby Steps’ to build mental strength to burst through the next hurdle.

Moleskin

Tackling ambiguous and seemingly grande situations can be extremely daunting and terrifying. The unknown is a scary place but it becomes less scary when we take baby steps. Whether that unknown is the birth of a new born child, the path ahead after losing one, or even starting something new, we benefit from taking one step forward at a time. Taking baby steps will make goals more realistic, help us get through a tough time, help us break down big barriers and in the end, get lead us on to the journey we are meant to be on. We can tackle anything….but taking baby steps makes it a lot more manageable.
