The Unknown Zone

All of us find ourselves, sooner or later, in a place of transition or crisis which I call the Unknown Zone. Often it shows up as a life transforming experience such as the loss of a loved one, a job or a relationship. Normally we avoid these experiences and feel like they “happen” to us. Sometimes we ask God why and frequently we end up feeling like a victim.

The Unknown Zone is not something that “happens to us”, something “out there”, but it resides within each of us. This is the place where our fears and shadows reside. It is also the place where we discover our magnificence and grace. When a life event comes along, it is how we choose to navigate this Zone which determines whether we get swallowed up in our fear or step into grace.

We all have had many opportunities to navigate the Zone. We all have stories to tell of overcoming our fears and setbacks. Many of us might be in The Zone right now. I would like to share my ongoing journey in The Zone and I would like to hear from others the stories they have to share.
