How You go From Dreams to Reality 🤷‍♀️

Today, I'm writing to you as I process the events of the day before I do my Duolingo and pass out. 🤪 Two big things happened, which could have been surprising, but looking back, I realize this was coming all along. I’ve been working on this for years. It's fascinating (and scary) how our thoughts and actions can evolve into reality, and I want to remind you how powerful you are.

Two key events unfolded, and they all started with intentions I set in motion some time ago. One was that conversation last week with the after-school director when I returned to pick up my son's lunchbox that I INSISTED on doing that day and not waiting. And the other was the email I sent to the women's development group when I was asked if I gave talks but had yet to.

I now realize these small steps were the beginning of something big. Honestly, I knew the moment I was doing them that they would lead to something bigger. And that's why I was so compelled to take action. It's intuition. It's willingness. It's desire. Drive. Hunger. Want. Need.

Back to today - so this morning, I met with the after-school director for what turned out to be a two-hour discussion, and you are now looking at the newest enrichment teacher. After I told him the other day about TWT, wouldn't it be cool to incorporate this taking action-building confidence coaching at school? (we're literally standing in the parking lot holding my son's forgotten lunch box as it starts raining, and I'm telling him all about my vision). He loved the idea. Beginning in October, I will coach 3rd to 5th graders on self-awareness, stress management, embracing challenges, goal setting, and celebrating achievements. And I'm not surprised because I knew it was the right thing, I knew it was time, I was ready, and here was the open door for me to walk through, and I'm like, OK. THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.

So I get back to the house and the phone rings. I don't know the number, so I almost don't answer, but I'm one of those curious types who doesn't want to miss anything, so I pick it up. It's the director of the women's development group I connected with last week. A friend who works with her recommended I speak at their company to 100 women. She saw my content and wondered if I gave talks. Which has been on my dream list FOREVER. I even took a course on giving talks. I talk all the time about this stuff to anyone who will listen. I am ready for this. So I pitched myself, and now she's processing my proposal, and a contract is coming for me to talk in November. I hang up, and I'm like, OK. THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. 

But now, it hits me. 😳 I’m not freaking out because it’s supposed to happen. It’s a real-life testament that incredible things CAN transpire when you put yourself out there and share your vision. Today has been a day that I can't overlook. I must share this message: ALL OF THOSE INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES ARE TRUE!

It's not about having every certification or qualification or feeling ready. It's about taking action and believing in yourself. It's about knowing that you are more than capable. You are good enough. And you are ready. The universe responds when you step out of your comfort zone (there it is again!) and embrace opportunities.

And since we like things in threes, I'll host the first TWT event on Thursday, another vision I’m bringing to life. And while I'm still determining the details of my future, I'm ready to ask and make them a reality.

Girlfriend, YOU control your future because YOU’RE in charge of it. You're the one making the decisions. YOU choose if you go for it or not.

Remember, if you need something to believe in, believe in yourself. The path to getting what you want starts with taking the first step. So get up and go for it.

Love you. Gotta go. Bye. ✌🏻
