The Big Dream Calls

It’s finally happened, you’ve got the scent, a glimpse of one of those big dreams; one at the top of your bucket list. The one that you were going to do “someone day” is screaming to be done “today.”

Next come the posts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter you pick the social media. “Be Fearless – Chase Your Dream,” “If You Can Believe It You Can Achieve It,” a stream of quotes from The Law of Attraction.

You turn on your tv to see the tears of someone who made “it” against all odds and you burst into tears with them. The television is filled with reality shows where the every day person WINS. You start to imagine what it would feel like when you get to live the dream. A wave of warm fuzzy blankets you…It’s all inspiring, motivating and mostly enviable. I want that to be me!

Now you can’t stop thinking about it, the big dream. The more you think about it, the more you want it, the more you want it, the more it seems doable, and crazy and then doable again.

You begin to believe your life can be lived the way you want it to be, and you can actually do it. You begin to strategize, comtemplate the “how” of it. Then, as if by divine guidance, signs start showing up everywhere nudging you to “move forward.” You start watching Shark Tank, and further consider the journey ahead, the bumps don’t look insurmountable, bumps are to be expected. So you decide to head out on the yellow brick road; you take out the loan, you sign the lease, you stick your neck out. This is gonna be good!

Six months later nothing has really happended. A lot is going out the door, with less coming in, you’re in the middle of the desert of your dream. Where there was once an open road now lies nothing but dry and barren unending miles ahead. Every way you look nothing but sand and cactus. How did I get into this desert?

The Who, What, When, Where, How and Why come flooding in. Now being fearless seems foolish, chasing your dreams feels like chasing your tail. Who am I to think I should get to live my dream? The desert is relentlessly asking you to reject its mirages and forge ahead but you’re tired and weak.

This my friends is where the dreamer either makes or breaks the big dream. What does it take to make it? Possessing the ability to stay focused (tenacity), remembering why you embarked on this journey (the carrot) and holding that vision steadfastly (plain old stubborness) is how the big dream becomes your reality. On this leg of the journey the scenery is monotonous. Chances are those who loves you will, in their own loving way, caution you about the dangers of the desert, dehydration, the blistering hot days and freezing cold nights.

This is also the leg of the journey that is the most empowering and exciting. When  you have the patience to let the Universe start to move things around to ease your path. When you make a regular practice of thanking the Universe, in advance, for your answered prayer. When you celebrate that answer so much you feel it in your bones. Then you go into action by demonstrating your willingness to move into the unknown faithfully. This is where the magic happens and your alignment with your dream takes place.

There is a deep inner knowing when you’ve reached this alignment. This knowing is the oasis. You are stronger for believing you deserve, you are empowered by your struggle and ultimate surrender and vulnerability. Your dream manifests as if by magic and then….

You begin your next journey into the desert of your next big dream.

Feel the love my fellow travelers.

In light,

Happy Sunday Everyone,

It’s Week #86 of 103 – STRESS

Thank you for joining me and welcome back to my blog. The official site of Word Vibration of the Week (WVOW). My intention for this blog is to create a community where we can share our thoughts and ideas about how words resonant with our energy. I look forward to your comments and our discussions. For those of you familiar with these posts, please feel free to jump to the next paragraph. For those of you new to my posts here is a brief description of Word Vibration of the Week.

I have always been fascinated with the idea that words carry a certain vibration, an energy of their own. My fascination is fueled by the idea that two words having similar meanings can feel vastly different
energetically. I wanted to know how particular words landed on other people. Do they feel a word’s individual character like I do? Do other people notice how the words we use, in large part, create the experience we are having? I decided to write random words, 103 to be exact, on pieces of paper. I folded them into little squares and tossed them into a bowl. Each week I will draw a new word and post how this word feels to me, energetically. These words are the basis for my interactive post(s), “Word Vibration of the Week.” I invite you to join me each week and share how each WVOW lands on you.

Week #86 – STRESS

Yeah!!!!! So excited (#not) to see this word push its way out of the bowl.
STRESS is the challenging frequency we operate on in our response to outside stimuli whether it be work, family, money, love or time.  Ok…. here I go agaaaaain…

Ponder this:

What if STRESS is actually the frequency that is asking you if you are living/loving your authentic self?

What if STRESS is nudging you to assess your priorities and make sure your own happiness is at the top of the list?

What if STRESS shows up most when faith in yourself seems to be nowhere in site?

What if STRESS is trying to save your life?

In light and with love,

Week #85 – SERVICE

Traditionally this word’s vibration speaks of SERVICE to others.  And I want to honor that yet I have a different take on it and ask you all to ponder this idea???

What if you stood is SERVICE to yourself? What if that SERVICE took the shape of self-acceptance, self-respect, self-confidence, and self-reliance? And what if those characteristics manifested in the outside world and took the shape of acceptance of, respect for, confidence in, and reliance on others?  Wouldn’t that be just an awesome act of SERVICE?

Week #84 – STABILITY

STABILITY vibrates as a delicate balance between what is and what is not.

I know that sounds odd, yet as I reflect on STABILITY, it feels fluid. It depends on where I am standing and how I am viewing the situation that is an indicator as to whether I feel STABILITY or not.

Over this past week I have witnessed myself vacillate in this word’s vibration. One moment I feel my hands firmly on the wheel of my life and the next I feel the talons of fear creep in and spark doubt. Which, in turn, makes me want to look outside myself to find STABILITY.

My truth says I am the only ingredient needed to create STABILITY.  Yes it is nice to have money in the bank, a roof over my head, family and friends that love me.  Yet, at the end of the day, my STABILITY is an inside job (as is everything) and my willingness to trust that I am being enough and doing enough to create that STABILITY lets me sleep at night.

How does energy of STABILITY show up for you?

In light and with love,

Week #83 – SELFLESS

I love this word and, if I’m being honest, it’s not an easy vibration for me to demonstrate.

SELFLESS is to act without expectation. Many times I think I am not attaching anything to a gift, a kind word or deed yet I know that somewhere deep inside I want acknowledgment.  As I write this I can picture myself letting a car into my lane in traffic and how annoyed I get when the person doesn’t give me a wave or a nod.

I don’t know many people who are truly SELFLESS. Maybe Mother Teresa, Ghandi or Nelson Mandela have mastered this extremely high vibrational energy.  I, on the other hand, am a work in progress.  And progress is good!

How does vibration of SELFLESS show up for you?

Week #82 – HURDLES

On the heels of last week’s “challenge” we have HURDLES. When I thought about what I would write I felt my groin pull, not physically but mentally. All I could picture were guys like the ones below and the crazy way their bodies have to move to get over HURDLES.

The vibration of HURDLES exhausts me. I just want to scream “Calgon take me away.”  {Okay, I aged myself with that one.} Throughout the week I annoyed myself trying to come up with some sugaring spin on it. Each time I got nothing. The energy of this word not only tires me, it makes me feel like I’m going to be sore once it’s over.

For me, this week’s word falls into the category of “This too shall pass.”

Week #81 – CHALLENGE

My first reaction to this week’s word, CHALLENGE, was to take a nap.  Just looking at the word pooped me out. At the same time I know I have heard a call; one I can’t ignore…

As I’m pulling up my big girl pants I can feel my inner child kicking up her heels, “Enough already. Can’t I just coast for a while?” The immediate answer is no!  CHALLENGE is good; an empowerment exercise grandly designed to shake things up.

The in-your-face vibration of CHALLENGE reveals the truth of what I really think and feel about myself. It affords me an opportunity to see what I’m made of. Will I give up or push through? CHALLENGE propels my growth.

Regardless of the effort, I know I must choose to rise to the CHALLENGE, to fearlessly test the limits, to show up – no matter what!!!!!!

How will you CHALLENGE yourself this week?

In light and with love,

Week #80 – TIME

This week’s word vibration made me feel like a ping pong ball.  I couldn’t decide if I have enough TIME or I need more TIME.

I thought about all the times I stared at a clock that never seemed to tick “Dear God, please make TIME go fast, I can’t wait.”

I remembered days I was having so much fun time there wasn’t enough TIME. “Dear God, Please don’t let this end.”

I cringed at those unpleasant moments I thought, “Dear God, when will this be over?”

The more I thought about TIME the more it ran a common theme for me.  It’s all about perspective and, many times, expectation.

As TIME has gone by, and my life’s journey is wayyyyyy shorter than it used to be, I am proud to sing (ala Mick Jagger and be glad you can’t hear me), “Time is on my side. Yes it is!  Time is on my side. Yes it is!”

How will you use your TIME this week?

In light and with love,

Week #79 – UNDERSTANDING

My first thought when I pulled this word was “I get to see another point of view.” That is how to fully embrace the vibration offered by UNDERSTANDING.

I could feel its energy working as I watched myself so invested in being understood, that I missed UNDERSTANDING.

I am forever grateful for the vibrations these words reflect. Each week, in some strange coincidental way, the word is completely relevant to what is going on with me. Each week I get to take a pause, give myself a moment to look deeper. In doing so, I am gaining a broader perspective and with God’s grace more UNDERSTANDING.

Week #78 – CREATIVITY

Yeah!!!! CREATIVITY!!!!!

This word is at the top of my list for great word vibrations. It infuses a joyful energy into everything in its path.

CREATIVITY stretches me, beckons me to think outside the rules, boundaries and limitations I have grown used to. CREATIVITY says “Hey, no judgement, this is just me expressing myself.”

Ok, I’m going there…  CREATIVITY has a dance vibe. Like it’s asking me to… shake your booty…. shake your booty… shake shake shake…. shake shake shake… shake your booty. (Did I put a disco song in your head? lol)

I love being creative in all sorts of ways, even when I’m cleaning out the closet.

This week how will you express the fun and vibrance of CREATIVITY?

Have a safe Labor Day.

In light and with love,
