Taking chances

I began questioning myself the other day and asked myself a serious question - do you take chances?
The answer was a definite 'NO'! I have felt unable to take chances because my world has had to evolve around our daughter, and rightly so. She has special needs that have to be met, so chances were something I could not contemplate. I don't judge myself for it, it just is.

Now though, I am beginning to see my life as opening up, just a little, a fraction as my daughter is now sixteen and a little more independent I wonder if it's time to take a chance on life and hope that the Universe doesn't kick me in the head for it!
Our lives lately have been one giant roller-coaster of shit! Excuse my language, but there is no other way of writing just how intensely worrying my life has been these last five weeks.
Yet, during those weeks, I noticed a lot of synchronicity happening. People would get in touch via Linkedin or FB giving me answers to questions I had been pondering. I'd meet new people who could possibly help my work, things would happen in such a way that everything turned out okay despite my worrying so long as I trusted and listened to my gut.

My writing has had to take a bit of a back burner due to high levels of stress, though a couple of articles for TNB got written and of course my blog, but mainly it was short stories for competitions, networking and meeting - spreading the word of, ME!
I have now taken a step to see what comes of a possible writing move forward. Will these people help my career or strike me down? Will I find new friendship/help and support? I send it out into the Universe and listen with an open heart and hopeful ears.
