Today this blog is two years old.

While much of what I wrote in 2008 now embarrasses me (even though I know this is true for every blogger), I still like my first-ever post a lot.

As metaphors go, this describes action in the face of risk quite nicely (if I do say so myself). And I’m proud of that person-I-was two years ago for beginning. It’s been a swell ride so far.

If you’re feeling that urge to break through and start something too – just begin. Chances are, it’s time.

The first small, green shoots of the flower bulbs I planted last fall are beginning to break through the soil. “No! Stop! Wait!” I want to tell them, “It’s too soon! There might be another frost!”

But they know what they are doing. They know it’s time.

Inspired by their confident intuition, I too begin.
