My Daily Musings-May 15th, 2026

Sometimes I think we all live a little like characters in romance novels. We stay inside the safety of what is familiar because it feels comfortable there. We know that opening our hearts, taking risks, or stepping into something unknown could lead to disappointment or heartache. But if we never step outside of what feels safe, how much beauty and growth might we miss along the way?

I’ve realized that some of the greatest growth in life happens when we are willing to trust Heavenly Father more than our fears. What if the very thing we are afraid of is the thing meant to strengthen us, refine us, or bring unexpected joy? What blessings might be waiting on the other side of our comfort zone?

Faith often means moving forward without knowing exactly how everything will turn out. It means trusting that Heavenly Father sees the ending even when we cannot. And maybe that’s where real growth begins—not in staying comfortable, but in learning to trust Him enough to take the next step anyway.

The Question That Changed My Perspective

I was speaking with my therapist today about my recent guest appearance on the Latter-day Lights podcast. I’ll be honest—I was feeling a bit discouraged. I had hoped to see a surge in new followers or subscribers, and when that didn’t happen immediately, I felt like I had missed the mark.

Then, she asked me something profound: “Would it be worth it to share your story if no one else ever listened to it?”

I took a breath, and the answer was a resounding yes.

When I watched the episode back, I felt a clear confirmation from Heavenly Father. He prompted me to do this back in January, and by recording it, I was simply being obedient. Stepping way out of my comfort zone didn’t just share a story; it strengthened my own faith.

As a writer and poet, I hope my words reach those who need them. But I’ve realized that the gift of expression was given to bless my life first. If I am the only one changed by my writing, it is still enough.
