I am really excited this morning.......I didn't sleep well last night due to that excitement, possibility swirling......and I just feel so blessed.....blessed for every minute of this journey....every single intuitive nudge that has led me closer to my goals and dreams, and yesterday I got thrown a divine bone.....no question......And I almost missed it, and it came back around to ensure that I didn't. I had seen a post about a book that was being compiled to highlight stories of transformation, hope, and resilience on the other side of big life adversity, and it mentioned being able to have a chapter in the book and tell your story. And it spoke to me as a bridge to my book, and as a possibility for so much more. So I got on this woman's calendar to book a meeting to discuss further. Her name is Michelle Jewsbury, and she is a public speaker, writer, advocate, and coach, and somebody who has turned her story of domestic violence into changing lives. She has a non profit and works on changing lives. So I was unable to make the first appointment I made, something came up with the kids. Then when I went back in to reschedule the link expired.....so I thought, not my door....and I laid it down....Then on Monday I went back into my email and there was another email from her to reschedule, and it spoke so deeply to me, an immediate YES finding me in the center of my soul, and I made an appointment to speak to her yesterday......and we did. And everything about it is in line with being the vehicle toward my dreams and my retreat center.....the possibilities held in next year and the details of it are just amazing to me, and so humbling.....tears found me more than once on our phone call.....tears of deep gratitude......gratitude at being in this position, in this space and in this time......and I will be writing a chapter in their book.....and it will be published next fall!!!....AND I will be given several platforms to speak and share my story, and work on grabbing my public speaking goal too, and network with so many people that can help me further my mission, in addition to being a part of the community of other authors featured in the book.....having some monthly meetings starting in February to begin to meet one another....... I also get to promote myself at the end of my chapter and express MY call to action.....which I hope is my book, and my site, and continuing to grow my business and my retreat space.....she will also be helping us get ourselves out there to speak. And she quickly plugged me into a speaking slot this Tuesday at a virtual summit! I cannot begin to express how much this feels like this is for me....at this time, and is exactly what I needed.......a break in a big way to move my dreams forward in all the ways I want to. The proceeds of the book will be split among us, and more than that. at least for me, it is a way to reach more and more women out there to work with and coach.....coaching being such a portable business and done by phone or zoom from anywhere.....I feel very deeply in my heart and soul that I made a decision yesterday that will change my life, and the entire landscape of next year, and I cannot wait for what is next, and to see where I am headed! Pinch me, really:) SO grateful and SO deeply humbled to be given the opportunity and platform to alchemize all of my pain into purpose.....and live a life that is fueled by the passion in my belly......just wildly so! YIPPEEE!
