My sweet and talented cousin read my latest post and felt inspired to write a poem. She presented me with the following incredible gift. I am sharing it with all of you as a reminder to keep dreaming and to encourage you to take the first step down the path to your dream life and career.

It is never too late to begin living your possibilities as your present moment experience. Keep going and journey without judgment. Trust your inner guide and voice for wisdom that directs you every step of the way. Grant space and grace to yourself to discover the markers that give shape to your path. You are not alone. You are closer than you think.

Are you inspired to proceed to your next step?

Great. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Open them and think of your happiest moment.

Now, read my cousin’s lovely poem below.

Faith

She didn’t know where she would end up,
But she was going.
Her heart,
A compass,
Dreams spilled out in all directions,
North, south, east, and west.
Hope, like fairy dust, sprinkled from her fingertips,
They couldn’t take that away from her.
Pain and Loss were mute now, only Hope and Faith able to speak to her,
And now,
She listened.
