What Would I Do If I Were Not Afraid?

This is my first blog ever. I am celebrating my birthday with the gift of courage. It may seem like a simple thing.... to write a blog, but keep in mind that there was no such thing as smartphones until my kids were teenagers. I had a car with an 8 track tape player and I can remember as a teen, looking under the seats in my 1967 VW Bug for quarters - when a dollar-in-change would buy enough gas to get me just about anywhere I wanted to go. So, while I am able to figure out a lot of things - technology tasks like this don't come naturally. 

This photo is at my desk in my office. The window looks out on a wall of green and there is a fence keeping my chihuahuas (Magic and Trix) in the yard and acting as a catwalk for little critters, like squirrels, crows, and other various visitors. So this seems like as good of a place to start as any. This window makes me happy, it provides fresh air, amusing viewing of playful creatures. This window represents more than an artfully placed hole in the wall. Just a few months ago, this window did not exist. 

This window represents a new beginning. It is here because my garage is now a fabulous office. The home of Magic Door Counseling Center. This was a Covid-19 project and a launching pad for a dream I have been chasing for years. I have been researching, working, organizing, saving, and launching rockets of desire since I went to college. The dream was to have a private practice where I get to do the work I love, provide virtual/telehealth services, and incorporate traveling all over the world into my career. 

The law of attraction works for me every time. ❤️ I had a clear vision of my dream of one day making this actually happen, I could imagine every aspect, I could feel the happiness and satisfaction even though I didn't know when or how it would all manifest physically. My dreams and desires were right there - waiting for all the cooperative components to fall into place. Then my CPR card expired and I was put on administrative leave for a few days while I waited for my class to renew it. I was not thrilled about it but used that time to meet with my accountant. That was the missing piece. It was clear that I am successful enough and have abundance enough to make this work now! Right now. 

On Friday, I gave notice to my employer that I am resigning from my job. What an interesting whirlwind of feelings! I have been with my employer since 2016 and I love the company, my co-workers, my patients, and the work (Hospice). It feels like jumping out of a perfectly good airplane (I know, I have had that experience!). That takes me back to my theme for today... courage. I took that leap of faith and I feel fantastic!

One of the most powerful questions I have ever asked myself is what I would do if I wasn't afraid? One of the most powerful lessons I have learned is that in this inclusion-based universe of ours you call to yourself the things that you think about - and, most importantly the things that you feel about. This life is truly spectacular! Happy Birthday to me! I am full of joy. I am so grateful to my wife and family for their support and for believing in me.
