I am a dreamer, my imagination is endless. And, if you give me a little room, I will recreate the space around me, in perpetuity. Change fuels dreams.
For over half my life, every day I made it to the next day, I was defying the odds. Thank goodness, there was always a little glimmer inside my heart. And, I searched and lived for those days I’d find me at the intersection of people, who may have had nothing else in common except me and a passion, a little glimmer inside them looking for something more. I would bring them together over an epic meal, a cookie, a good cup of coffee, a bike ride, a story, or something…something important, relevant. Whatever it was, I was meant for this.
Today, I’m standing at the intersection – a crossroad of my own making. Everything I’d been searching for is right here. The longer I look around from this vantage point, there’s rewards in the form of clarity, and movement and balance, figuratively and literally, I never knew was possible to find, all inside of me. And, I’ve found I get to share it; I was meant for this. After all the school and all the hours making sure all the school became my dream, I’m here. And, I suddenly have headspace – time in a day, every day, when I’m not moving. I just get to take it all in. At the same time, I’m working to turn the here into more, and putting my plans for my dream, into action.
It’s still a little unnerving -so strange and new. I won’t lie. I’m scared. I don’t know what I’m doing. But I also do because it’s my dream. There’s nothing wrong with pursuing it.
Soon, there will be “the more”, I speak of. Oftentimes, when I say something out loud, it means it’s a promise…mostly to myself. But now it’s out there. As I build me out this community of people with me in common, feel free to tag along. Stop and look around. Be curious. Learn something new about moving your body, with less effort. Imagine it, feel it; we can do it together. It can heal you, Movement. Movement is medicine. My journey is proof of this. We can do this. Let’s do this.
