I’ve learned some things along the way…such as; you don’t always get what you want because sometimes you end up getting something better. Maybe that something better is something you never even thought possible! Don’t you love the Universe’s way of surprising us?

For instance, several years ago I thought I wanted to own a vacation resort business in Canada. Forget about the fact that I didn’t research the topic of owning a business in Canada, a foreign country for me! I just did what I am usually famous for, I jumped right in and figured out along the way that maybe I shouldn’t own a business in Canada. Ah…hindsight is indeed 20/20. Okay, so some day I will write a book about the entire Canadian resort adventure but for now suffice it to say, it was an adventure and a pricey learning experience.

God had a bigger and better plan for me, something I hadn’t even thought of for myself. I was very clearly called upon to travel back to the USA and to pursue my career as a writer, speaker and coach. I met my wonderful love, John and he alone was worth the fiasco in Canada…I had to go through “that” to get to John. And along the way I learned to trust Spirit more, to pay closer attention to my intuition and to act upon those little stirrings and internal messages I receive daily. For instance, in order to achieve the Canadian resort purchase, I had to shuck, jive and shuffle lots….maybe that should have been my first clue that it wasn’t meant to be. My intuition tried to warn me several times to bail on the entire adventure but I thought I knew better, ugh!

Along the way, I became a wiser person. Along the way, I met some really cool and interesting Canadians. Along the way, the Universe showed me compassion and love. Along the way, I lost some friends but gained some life long spiritual connections. Along the way, the truth was revealed about me and the good news is I don’t have to have a million dollars to be happy!

They say that the journey is in fact the most important aspect in the pursuit of our life goals and I must say…I agree because along the way is where you really define what is important and what is just “stuff.” The destination is a fantastic place to be but don’t forget to become more…along the way
