I had received a message from a woman who had tickets and wanted to know if I was up to going because she couldn't find anyone to go with her. My first thought was to reply saying, "Thanks for thinking of me but I can't." I even started typing that reply then something said to stop. The internal dialog began, "Why can't you go? You have kids and a husband and a job. You can't pick up and go. You could, you just have reason why you don't. Do you want to go? Yes. Yes, you want to go so why don't you?" I went.
I was not a huge Oprah fan by any means but let me tell you something, I am now. What I learned in one weekend is what I have been searching for for years. The big question was, "What is your calling?" Women were speaking on how they knew their calling early. I was beside myself. I didn't have a calling. So I thought...The shower is where most of my ideas come from. It turns out that's also where I found my calling. Thoughts were dripping into me until finally I had that AHA moment of clarity and with every ember of my being I was engaged and excited. I could hardly dry off because I was so excited.
My calling is now clear. I am called to empower women through real estate. How will I do that? This blog is the first step! Tell your friends. This is going to be big. Huge.
Now think about you. What have YOU been called to do?
