Do not go where the path may lead;
go instead where there is no path,
and leave a trail.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson, submitted by Sharri D, Eugene OR

I haven\'t a clue
as to how my story will end.
But that\'s all right.
When you set out on a journey
and night covers the road,
that\'s when you discover the stars.
– Nancy Willard, submitted by Katie P., Minneapolis MN

I\'ve travelled a few (snowy) miles up the road from Madison to spend some time in La Crosse, Wisconsin with a credit union that is about to embark on a new journey and I think we could all adopt their adventurous spirit and declare a new direction for ourselves this week.

If you are facing some tiny or gigantic change at work or at school or in life in general, maybe this is a perfect time to remind yourself that while change can be challenging at times, it can also be a magnificent journey! Or maybe you\'re feeling a little \"blah\" without enough change. Whatever the case, blaze a new trail and leave a path!

Peace,
Paul
