When Your Yellow Brick Road Trips You

     That’s me as Dorothy and my husband Duane as the Tin Man as we’re off to see the wonderful Wizard of Oz. Along with the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion, we’re seeking brains, a heart, courage, and a way home.     
     Which is what we all need along life’s highway, isn’t it? Because every day we run into flying monkeys that vex our minds. Wicked witches that crush our emotions. Dark paths that leave us fearful to take another step. Our Yellow Brick Road trips us up.
    
     But can a Wizard of Oz save us?
    
     No.
    
     The “Wizards” - the shortcuts in life - are as powerless as the man behind the curtain who pushes levers that release worthless smoke.
    
​     So how do we gain the knowledge, compassion, and bravery we need to make it through our days?
    
     The same way the characters in “The Wizard of Oz” did - by facing our adversities, not running from them. Then wisdom, empathy, and grit develop inside us. Then we find our place in this world.
    
     And that’s enough to keep us skippin’ down life’s road.
