The Joy of a Dream Deferred


In just 48 hours a dream was about to come to fruition.  However, the Universe has reminded me that we are not in control and I must not try to rush things that need more time.  So, I am postponing my Love In: a weekend workshop on loving ourselves.

It was all arranged.  I had musicians and a dj, a world love ambassador, participants, but there were some big holes that needed to be filled before it could be the amazing event I envisioned.  So, I had to pull the plug for the time being.  There are some things that need to be reworked.

Although I'm disappointed, I actually feel better.  Each step had been a struggle.  Each piece of the puzzle took a long time to find.  I have been under an enormous amount of increasing pressure and instead of looking forward to the weekend, I just couldn't wait for it to be over.  This was clearly not working.  So, when the big glaring sign showed up, I was able to take the exit ramp off of this path.  As I told my people today, I don't want to be the first lemming off of the cliff.



Now, how can this disappointment be joyful you ask?  Here's the thing ~  I'm sure I could have pulled some majick out of my handbag.  However, when you have to work and scramble to make something happen.  That's when you know, you would be better off taking a second or even third look at things.  When you do this, you give yourself the opportunity to create something truly amazing.

I know that although I am slightly embarrassed and definitely disappointed I am making the decision that's right for me, my company, my dream and the lives that will be touched by this event.  I have seen a vision of this event.  The faces are a glow with love and light.  People are inspired and moved.  I just got the date wrong.

I figure that guy that keeps predicting the end of the world can still get people to listen to him.  I'm predicting the beginning of the love ~ I think people will listen and then they'll feel it.

My calling is for joy.  I'm in for the long haul.
