I will never forget my seminar in Portland. I walked into the room and began preparing for the day and a lovely women walked in, unpacked the boxes and started the registrations. Her hair was a beautiful silver and her smile ear to ear. At the lunch break we had a chance to sit and talk. We talked about life, creativity and living your dreams. She shared with me that she had always wanted to be an actress. She always carried this dream her entire life. She said, “back then..you know I am 70 years old…. we had fewer options”…she went on to say how she was married for 25 years, had 5 children but following her divorce, she sold her house, most of her belongings, bought a camper, banked the rest and headed to California. It was there she said he embraced her dream of being an actress – at 70. I asked her how she did. She said she landed a small part in the movie Prince of Tides as the nurse. She had no acting experience but they cast her!
This silver-haired beauty reminded me of the power of a dream and the courage it takes to move toward it. She gave herself the experience she always wanted. She had a rich and full life but when faced with change, she embraced the new and made it her own…her very own dream come true.
Follow your bliss and never have a single thought about it otherwise.
