Whether they be dreams or experiences, do you have a specific way things need to look in order for them to "count?" Notice for a moment how much you'll miss when you do that. I was thinking of the top 3 things I wanted to do before the year was out (it is October after all):
1. Learn how to hula hoop
2. Belly dance again
3. Travel
It wasn't until this moment that I realized I've done all three; they didn't appear the way I had imagined but none the less they happened!
1. Hula hooping---I watched someone do it and the next day I did it! I got tired which is why I stopped. I have to admit I haven't been able to repeat this feat. Maybe I need to go onto YouTube and watch a video first!
2. Belly Dancing---this past weekend I attended the Autumn Goddess Festival in Chester Springs, PA and dressed in my belly dancing outfit for my fun and pleasure. It so happened the Tapestry Tribal Belly Dancing troupe from Delaware were performing there. One of the dancers was my belly dancing teacher 10 years ago and we met up at the entrance to the Festival! How perfect was that? Part of their performance was being able to dance with them. Can I share with you what fun it was! Looking back I realized it was the first time I ever belly danced in public. Here is a short video of the troupe dancing.
3. Travel---In August I was in MA for the National Guild of Hypnotist's convention; September I was Charlotte, NC for business, in October I'll be in Chicago for another hypnosis convention, and I'm planning to be in Phoenix for business in December! Whew.
I had focused on getting a passport and then traveling but I didn't need one for any of these trips!
Here's what I suggest---have your intentions but give yourself the gift of having your sights more broadly defined so you don't miss anything that comes through your door!
