The First Step

It is so fun to be excited in a childlike way.  I feel like that this morning.  It is packing day!  In a few days, we are headed off to Europe on a grand adventure.  What makes this trip so thrilling to me is that my two 15 year old granddaughters are coming with us!  I can’t even believe that this trip of a lifetime is almost here!  This is a dream I’ve had for a long time, to travel with these girls, and after lots of planning and saving and all the things, the trip that was an idea in my head is finally here.

I’ve also had a dream to bring women together to learn, laugh and share.  I imagine this incrdible group of women, a collective of wisdom and support.  This is so exciting to me because this dream is also happening.  It is coming together in a way that is nothing short of magic.  (Yes, I still have room to join, see my website)

All of this has got me thinking about what it takes to bring dreams forward.  I think the first step is just that… one first step forward.  I was so nervous about starting this my Community for Women group, but a friend challenged me to write the email invitation and push send.  To quit thinking about it, stop worrying about it, make the decision and just go. One small step forward and from there, it came together in ways I couldn’t even imagine.  I feel the same thrill about this as I do about my granddaughter's trip and it makes me feel alive.  I feel challenged in a good way and it seems I’ve opened the door to exciting things.  

Do you have something that you are spinning about, but haven’t yet found the way forward?  Take the smallest step you can think of, then one more.  See what happens.  Maybe there is some magic waiting for you as well.

First steps, think about it.

Sending you lots of love… and magic.
