Dandelion puffs

From Hannah :

Wishes are magic makers, dream builders.

When you pick a dandelion puff and blow it, those little seeds are planting magic in the world around you.

Puff.
Blow.
Faith.
Magic.

Do me a favor though, and don’t keep your wishes to yourself ok? There is a whole Universe out there that wants to join in making your desires come true...

I love reading what Hannah has to write.  She inspires me like few others have and she has struggled through what she feels she is now called to teach.  I’m drawn to write today about the meeting I had with an old friend of mine. 
It was the Tuesday after I had left the bar disappointed with the friend I just recently released.  We were getting our kids together for the first time.  I was incredibly excited because her boy and my boy were so much alike.  They ended up playing together for 2 hours and we didn’t realize how much time had passed until she looked at her watch.  I had always thought of this woman as Churchy McChurchenson.  I don’t say this to be mean, I just didn’t expect her to have the same beliefs I do.  Something deep inside of me told me to reach out to her and express how I’d been receiving messages from the Universe about the steps I should now be taking.  I explained how back around my birthday it was all about taking care of my heart…speaking from my heart…loving with all my heart.  Then it changed to Love your body…take the time to learn from your body…listen to your body.  I ended up throwing my back out during this time and really had to slow down and think about what I was doing.  Soon after that the messages were constantly about peace.  Finding it, living with it, giving it, receiving it.  It was such a prevalent word in my life around the New Year that I made it the word of 2013.  Then it became Surrender…Let Go… Melt…Let it happen.  Soon after the messages reminded me again that I think too much.  I really need to get out of my head.  I needed to trust myself more and go with the flow.  (I am still working on this one HA!) Now the message has flipped to follow your dreams.  Live the life you dream of.  There is this gnawing in my gut and a voice in the back of my mind telling me that I need to tell her what I see for my future.  So I start telling her my dream….
I tell her that I can see myself teaching to love themselves through yoga & mindfulness.  I envision a retreat eventually where we can do yoga, move slowly, do some art, do more yoga, and wrap the night up with wine and storytelling around the table.  I want to have a garden, some chickens, and some honeybees.  I want to grow my own food and maybe sell a little on the side to make extra money.  I see myself learning Reiki, maybe massage….I’m not sure. But I definitely see myself holding retreats where women can come together.  This friend whips out her phone and shows me a photo of a place that she hasn’t thought about in years, a place that she almost bought once before.  She had a board of directors and was ready to pull the trigger but then felt that she wasn’t ready so she backed out.  We both are still reeling from having our dreams realized right in front of us.  I have brought so many amazing people into my life lately.  I know they would support me.  I know this could happen.  I know yoga instructors, massage therapists, reflexologists, organic caterers, farmers, nurses, all kinds of people who make it their goal to heal. We are both overwhelmed that this might happen….but I love this feeling.  I love this not knowing.  This kind of dream fills me up.
