Move beyond your comfort zone

By Cassandra Tyndall

Regardless of what you’ve got your sights on achieving this year, it takes bravery, courage and the willingness to see things differently to make the choice to change. Being amped up with an inflated sense of enthusiasm allows us to dream up the impossible and make it possible.

Despite the best of intentions, it can be easy to lose sight of what actually takes to go from point A to point B. There will be effort, toil, conflict within yourself (or even with others) and the required compromises to move beyond a comfort zone.

This week, a sudden plot twist, a fork in the road or a surprising turn of events may steer you off course, or prompt the need to make a quick choice. Under this week’s volatile skies, eruptions or explosions are bound to take place. If you’re stuck in a comfort zone, you may make a sudden realization that it isn’t all that comfortable after all.

It’s also possible that in order to achieve your dreams for the future, you may have to give up more than you originally anticipated. Bear in mind, if you’re not willing to sacrifice for what you want, what you want will be the sacrifice.

I always ski on June 1st. Some years, the lifts are running, and I’m surrounded by a thousand of my closest friends and fellow ski bums, the line wrapping around the base lodge. Some of us are there for the bragging rights, others for the free t-shirt, and some time at the Umbrella Bar. There’s…

Drawing on inspiration

I know it was second grade because I remember the classroom. And I know what teacher was involved because I never forgot her or the moment I’m about to highlight. The year was 1974. I don’t have many memories from that stage of my life, but the following was poignant enough to have possibly set…

Celestial creature: Indigo bunting

June 4, 2025
There is nothing like the royal blue of an indigo bunting. In the Northeast, they arrive fashionably late to the spring fling, behind the vanguard of migrating warblers and other songbirds. On my morning walk in my frequent birding spot – my “patch,” as birders call it –I heard the sharp double-noted tune: “Look! Look!…
