Sunday, September 18, 2022

I just saw it today, clear as day.

My vision, my goal, my purpose…

There I was standing on stage in a large arena speaking to thousands, sharing my journey. Explaining how just a few short years ago, I was one of them, sitting up there in section 108, Row S, Seat 14 listening to inspiring speakers and dreaming of the possibilities in life.

I sat there telling myself that this time would be different. I was going to take action and not just forget everything that I learned. Countless times I had listened to speakers or read books and thought, “good for them, but that’s not in the cards for me”.

I saw myself up there confidently speaking on stage... I looked out into the sea of eyes and saw that I was connecting. My message was resonating and moved the audience. My heart swelled at the thought that the words coming out of my mouth might be responsible for helping to change the course of one of their lives.

This is exactly what I’m there to do.

It’s taken me almost 60 years to realize that the thing in life that brings me the most joy is making a difference, and an impact in the lives of others. In my vision, I explain how most of my life I had done that by caring for my loved ones and though fulfilling, I wanted more.

This fantasy appeared in my mind prior to today

But today was different for two reasons.

First, today was the first day that I actually believed that this would happen. Something within is telling me that this is my gift and my purpose. Tears are streaming down my face as I type because I’ve never experienced a feeling or sensation like this before. 

This is my destiny. I know and feel it with every fiber of my being.

Even more electrifying is that today my mind revealed something it never had before.

A vision that is turning my streaming tears into sobs of joy. My boys are both up there on stage with me. They each share their own story of struggle and how they thought I was crazy as I launched into a completely new and foreign experiment at such an advanced age (their perspective on age, not mine. Lol).

We all hear how anything is possible but do we really believe it?

I guess some do and those people are the ones who are actually living their dream. 

I didn’t believe it until today. My boys don’t believe it yet, but they will.

I want to bring them and you along on this journey. 

I will be the embodiment of the phrase “Anything is possible”.

The remainder of my life will be dedicated to this goal.

The first line I typed on the page is today’s date so that someday we can all look back and say:

“She made her dreams a reality and I can too!”

Until next time,
Debbie
