Life’s journeys can be accompanied by unexpected turns. Of course setting out to find your voice will be no different, in this way, from any other trip that we choose to embark upon. There are usually turns that we do not see up ahead, sudden stops (due to unexpected objects blocking our paths), and sometimes we may be forced to re-route to the destination. Our GPS could lose signal, which is very frustrating and can be scary . The same should be anticipated for the journey to our true voice. There is no way to predict various occurrences, just like in life all that can be done is preparation and anticipation that we will make it to our desired place.

We also need a back-up plan as we expect these unexpected turns that our journey can take. Because this journey to our voice is metaphorical, we may be tempted to overlook these snares and undermine their effect on our psyche. However, the things that could happen on this journey could deter us from finishing out the process that we started. Preparation for the unknown, and a plan is the key to our success…
