So often in life we're given a set of options and told these are our only choices. In our education, in jobs, where we live, even in our relationships, the message is, “This is what's available; check the box for your selection.” So we choose, and then that choice determines the next set of options we have, and so on, and sometimes we end up in a career, or community, or relationship, and wonder how on earth it went this way. One day I refused to check any of the boxes I was offered, and everything changed.

There are moments when life becomes divided into how life was before that moment and how life is after it. When transformation unfolds in an instant, and nothing is ever the same. It happens when a moment of truth overtakes us, if we have the courage to rise to the challenge. They can happen anywhere, anytime—even at a gas station, which is where the trajectory of my life changed forever.
