Finding a Better Way to ... Just Go For It!

Helloooo blog-o-sphere! I'm back! As I've mentioned previously - and to any and everyone I've come in contact with in the past few weeks - I had to take a hiatus from blogging while I finished up grad school. I'm officially a Master of Public Health! (I'm pretty sure that's the correct title, but don't quote me on that.) Nevertheless, I have learned so much about myself and about life over the past few months, and I just can't wait to share the insights with you all.

But, first, I have an exciting surprise!

A little bit over a year ago, a friend of mine posted this video on my wall. About a year after that we showed this same video at an annual event encouraging young girls at my church. This past semester, I've really delved into these spoken word videos for much needed inspiration. Last month, I got the opportunity to interview the spoken word artist himself! Allow me to introduce to some and present to others, writer, actor, spoken word artist Jon Jorgenson! Jon is pretty awesome, and he shares tons of inspirational content on his blog that can help you find your own inner awesomeness. And, he along with others share really encouraging videos via The Anima Series YouTube channel. In our brief chat, he discusses the notion of taking chances and making moves in your life. Listen to an audio of Fridays with Friends interview below!

So, the long and the short of it is, just go for it! Like when I took the chance as a hopeful fan to email Jon for an interview, for example. Whatever it  happens to be in your life at the moment, try it, act, I dare you to move! Action is how we find out what we're good at and how we nourish our God-given talents and gifts. What inspires you towards action? Please share in the comments - I want to hear your thoughts!

Special thanks to Jon Jorgenson!

Jon blogs about learning from the past, noticing the present, and creating the future. Find more from Jon, including to book him for an event at www.jonjorgensonblog.com. And, ping him on Twitter @jonjorgenson!

Welp, until next time, guys!
