My husband's job moves us all over the country, so we're always having to ask ourselves "what if we uproot our entire family to somewhere we've never been before?" We follow it up with questions like "what will we get to see that we've never seen before?" and "what will we get to do that we've never done before?" We know other families whose follow up questions are things like "what if we get there and we hate it?" and "what if nobody adjusts?" Obviously our outcomes are very different, but we started out with the same initial question. I think that “what if” is worth asking if you have the right outlook.

What if I become a famous scientist? What if we really truly acted like the energy and resources on this planet are finite? What if we didn't act selfish and lazy ever? What if I was as passionate about teaching my daughter these things as I am in the 'academic world'? What if I discover a sustainable solution to the U.S. energy crisis?

It's even better with an answer and action. I've done some what if's the last few years and it has made all the difference. I said, what if I could be intimate, what if I could be best friends with my hub, what if I started my own business, what if I got off the porch and started living. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Yeah baby! Now I'm asking what if I got my house in order. What if I created some really cool art, what if I could make a difference in someone's life, what if I could grow my business into a franchise? All great questions. I'm working on the answers. What I do know at this point is....this summer I am jumping out of an airplane cause I want to know what it feels like to fly!

What if I pursued photography full-time? What if we started the outdoor ministry we've been talking about? What if we only had the things we absolutely needed, and could pack everything into the trunk of a car and leave? What if we only ate pure, whole foods, that the earth provides for us naturally?
