I am more certain then ever that I am on the right track.... that every sign is pointing in the direction of what I am destined to do.... I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am heading in the direction of fulfilling the purpose of my work.....
Every single one of us has a dream... however.... something happens between the dream and the fulfilment of it..... sometimes we get distracted with other dreams, goals and what we are supposed to do or what we created that grew and needed caring and nurturing...... we saw something shiny over in a corner that caught our eye and drew us in..... willingly at first and then got trapped in its web...... we may have had health issues that brought us to a screeching halt and demanded attention right then and there...... we may have family commitments... caring for a loved one that required much of our time........ we may have been victim to trauma or sudden changes that was beyond our control...... maybe we just didn't have enough information yet.....or we may have allowed fear, trepidation, the old voice in our head stop us from living that great big juicy dream we so long for.......
Whatever stopped us or prolonged the dream from happening did not change the fact that we dreamed it, we want it and can still have it..... does it matter how old we are??? Does it matter that I am now 20 years older... well ya if I wanted to be a ballerina... but ummm nope that's not it.... so nowhere is it written that I can't fulfil what my heart desires... and so I believe it's time and I shall...
I really believe that I have been given another chance..... a chance to show my maker that these great big dreams that I have and all the power he gave me to get whatever I desire is coming together right now to help me fulfil the passion that found me.... I want to help others..... ya ya.. everyone says that.... and I hear ya... I hear it all the time... "I just want to help others... that is my passion" but...... it's the how we each do it.... each one of us is here to create, build and serve our fellow human beings with a gift... a unique gift individual as we are... the betterment of our sisters and brothers.... that is our duty.... somehow.....
I know beyond a doubt that mine is in my face now... through fundraising for breast cancer awareness, prevention, preservation and after care..... for one...... and secondly to assist our aging population enjoy full, fun and healthy lives through providing programs, a place where care and fun meet..... and thirdly I believe with all my heart that caring for the caregivers is essential to the health of the patient.... the family caregiver and the professional caregiver alike.... require special attention..... alleviating burnout will prevent elder abuse....
Opening my centre is my vehicle to fulfilling my passion and my purpose here... of helping people.... the Stilettos for the Cure is fulfilling the new passion and purpose that found me..... of helping people... of bringing our community together for a reason.. I may have been on a detour, I may have been distracted by the shiny object in the corner but now I realize..... when something is meant to be, you will always find your way back....
Oh wait it's like that old saying... I remember as a teenager having a Tshirt that said... When you love something.... set it free... if it comes back... it's yours... if it doesn't... it never was......
Wow, who knew that some 34 years later I would actually understand what that meant.. beyond the boyfriend..................
