“There is a voice in the Universe urging us to remember your purpose for being on this great Earth. This is the voice of inspiration, which is within each and every one of us.” -Dr. Wayne Dyer

My darlings, who would you be if you could be anything?

I remember the very first time someone asked me that question. It was kindergarten, 1974—well before I had learned the sadness of self-imposed limitations. She asked it once again, and, by the tone in her voice, I surmised this was perhaps the ‘most important question in the world.

“Who would you be if you could be anything?” My goodness, she was so beautiful – statuesque, with skin as fine as a porcelain doll. And always, with such a gleam of hope in her eyes.

“I want to write stories,” I answered sheepishly, though – knowing full well that I hadn’t yet learned my alphabet.

“Well, then—I can’t wait to read them,” she smiled, never once pausing to question how.

We have such a habit of talking ourselves out of our dreams—falling into that trap of, “there’s nothing to be done.”

Or, worse yet, that we are not quite good enough to step into the light of our truest being.

But, could you just imagine if the opposite were true? That no dreams would be left unexplored, nor a single wish unfulfilled.

Every child has dreams, my darlings. Even at the youngest age we are prompted by that first, critical life question, “What do you want to *be* when you grow up?”

I wanted to be a writer so that one day I might help to heal this world. And, oh my goodness – I’m so grateful I had sense enough to believe…

That all things are possible, even when we leave the tenderness of our youth.

With just a quick shift of focus, my loves – and this world, and everything in it, graciously extends itself to us.

Namaste ~ ❤️
