As we approach Fall, my favorite time of the year, I start to feel all warm and fuzzy about pumpkin cookies and corn stalks tied together on the front porch. I have a sudden urge to begin my annual viewing of 'Hocus Pocus' with Bette Midler a million times between now and Halloween. I love cooler nights and the smell of leaves when they crunch. My kids are back in school and Autumn is as much a renewal to me as Spring. I often feel like making huge decisions about my future in the Fall. I plan, I make goals, I read new books, I thirst for more knowledge and new experiences. Can you relate to any of this? The 'Hocus Pocus' part especially, right? I know! That movie never gets old to me. LOVE it.
I wonder if maybe you think about going back to college, or taking a trip to somewhere you've always wanted to see. Or learn to speak Italian, or take a cooking class. Do you realize those desires and thoughts you have are a signal? A finger pointing to your path. The things you desire in your life are God-given, and are clues to things you were meant to accomplish or experience.
Only you can influence the world, or your corner of it, the way you can. You are not just one in a million, you are the only. Who else could do such a great job of being you? You have a unique ability to do things and/or influence an outcome differently than anyone else can. Isn't that exciting?! There are people you can help that no one else can reach. There are things that are meant to be done that no one else can do in exactly the same way you can. There are events that are meant to occur that only you can make happen. You are the star, my friend!
Get excited with me! Sign up for the class...book the trip....check out the college course online, or better yet, make an appointment and go in and talk to Admissions about the possibility of attending. Read the book about the subject that you want to be an expert in. Get your passport. Whatever it is that is calling to you....ANSWER! Be brave and do what you love, what nudges you forward.
And for the love of Halloween, watch 'Hocus Pocus' with me. I'll get the popcorn.
Love, Michelle
