Living the Dream
Living the Dream
What if you could walk through life knowing that your greatest dreams are coming true? Because they are.
“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.” ~ Paulo Coelho
My birthday is always a powerful time for me ~ something about entering this world on 12/12 has always felt especially magical.
As my birthday approached this year, I decided to book a session with Andrew, an intuitive reader I’ve worked with several times over the last decade. These readings always feel like messages from my soul to me, bathing me in a sea of love and appreciation for who I truly am.
Although I was initially skeptical, so many things Andrew has shared over the years have been incredibly spot on. No matter how outlandish or how much I’d forgotten all about his predictions, I’ve found myself time and time again dumbstruck as events he predicted unfolded in ways that can only be attributed to a great deal of magic and synchronicity.
And… there have been just as many times that he has painted scenes of my future with extraordinary detail that never came to pass.
When I reached out to see if he had any availability the following week, Andrew answered with “How about the 12th day of the 12th month? That feels auspicious, doesn’t it?” With a wink and a smile, I replied, “Indeed it does!”
Out of all the readings I’ve received, this one felt especially glorious ~ essentially recounting how all my greatest hopes and dreams are about to come to pass in 2024.
With the elegant flair of his British accent, he described quite emphatically and specifically all the ways in which this coming year will be a time of great harvest for me as I experience heights of joy, flow and abundance in my work and my relationships.
He acknowledged the many initiations I’ve moved through in my personal transformation journey and how deeply I’ve embodied what I set out to find within myself. And then he declared, “This is the dawn of a new era for you personally. And it begins January 1, 2024.”
Something in what he shared {and how he shared it} felt deeply resonant. I’ve known for some time now that I am completing an epic, nine-year quest of profound exploration and integration. And I’m already experiencing so many pieces falling effortlessly into place and so many aligned opportunities streaming into my life.
But, can I really believe it?
As I moved through the remainder of my birthday, being celebrated by my friends and loved ones, I felt a push-me-pull-you energy running in the background as my system tried to integrate the potency of the reading.
I would remind myself of all the uncanny experiences I’ve had in connection with Andrew’s readings {enough to fill several chapters in a book}. And then my mind would counter with, “Yeah, but remember those times when you got your hopes up only to be deeply disappointed?”
By the time I arrived home that evening, I felt twisted up in knots and grabbed my journal ~ my go-to tool for getting to the root of what is wanting to be seen.
After writing out all that I was feeling, I finally landed on a question that led to the gold I was seeking.
Why is a part of me so strongly wanting this to be true?
That part instantly responded: Because, if I knew that I would be experiencing all of this in the coming months, I would walk through the world differently. I would approach each day with more confidence, joy, curiosity and play. I wouldn’t waste my energy in fear, doubt or questioning. I would just show up fully, knowing I couldn’t fail, knowing that all I’ve envisioned and desired for my life and my life’s work is happening.
And then a wave of energy moved through me as a question surfaced from a deep place of knowing within me…
What if I simply choose to walk through the world like that ~ in confidence, joy, curiosity and play, knowing that all I’ve envisioned and desired for my life and my life’s work is happening… right now, in every moment? Because it absolutely, positively, is.
In that moment, all the mental angst evaporated as I felt this fundamental truth radiating from every cell in my body ~ the truth that I had been questing to find and embody within myself over the past nine years, and the truth that is at the core of my work in the world.
I am free to choose the stories that are powerfully shaping my experience.
While the names, places and dates may be different, the essence of the reading is 100% true. While there may be challenges to move through, the essence of my dreams and desires are absolutely unfolding in my reality.
Because that’s just the way this works.
The Dawning of a New Era
This is indeed the dawning of a new era ~ for you personally and for the entire human collective.
“Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
What would it look like if we all chose to walk through the world with the knowing that our dreams are absolutely coming true?
What if we chose to drop the armor of doubt, worry and self-protection, and simply trust in the perfection and the inevitable unfoldment of our unique journey here?
Can you feel the power in that?
What is the core essence of your dreams and desires for your life?
What if you are having these dreams and desires precisely because that core essence is what you are here to experience?
How would you approach each day knowing that the universe is always conspiring in your favor? What different choices would you make?
After all, what could you possibly lose by choosing to live the life you have dreamed for yourself?
On this potent day of the Winter Solstice {here in the northern hemisphere}, I am wishing for you a time of peaceful reflection and appreciation for all that you’ve been navigating this year ~ integrating the gold in these experiences as the light returns and you step into the next phase of your incredible journey, more deeply and authentically you.
Thank you for all you’re bringing to this new era!
