Stop Waiting for Someday – Your Dreams Are Calling Now
There's a day that doesn't exist on any calendar, yet we all know it intimately. It's called "someday." You know the one—when the kids are older, when work settles down, when I lose twenty pounds, when I have more money, when the timing is perfect.
Someday I'll travel.
Someday I'll start that business.
Someday I'll pursue my passion.
But here's the truth I learned the hard way: someday never comes.
I spent years waiting for my perfect moment. I had dreams tucked away like old photographs in dusty albums, telling myself I'd revisit them when everything was just right—when the stars aligned, my bank account fuller, my confidence higher. I was good at creating all these reasons why "now" wasn't the right time.
Then life gave me a wake-up call I couldn't ignore—a severe brain injury that changed everything! Suddenly, all those perfect conditions felt meaningless. Each sunrise became precious, each sunset a gentle reminder that time moves forward with or without me participating.
The realization whispered loudly: if not now, when?
That's when I stopped negotiating with someday and started saying yes to today!
I began my journey as a Joy Facilitator and Life Celebrant not because everything was perfect, but because my heart was ready. I discovered that the "perfect moment" really means stepping into our courage.
Now I have the privilege of guiding other women back to their own inner knowing, helping them dust off dreams that have been patiently waiting. I've learned that we all carry this incredible spark within us, but somewhere along the way—between caring for everyone else and putting ourselves last—we forget how to let it shine.
You give so generously to others. You nurture, support, and celebrate everyone around you. But when was the last time you gave that same tender attention to your own dreams? When did you last ask yourself what would bring you joy—not someday, but today?
Your dreams aren't asking for the perfect time or place. They're simply asking for a beginning. A single step. A whispered "yes" to the part of you that's been waiting so patiently.
The calendar will never show someday, but it shows today. Your spark is already within you, ready to guide whatever path calls to your heart.
The only question is: are you ready to answer?
Are you ready to reconnect with your true self, rediscover your purpose, and take the “tired” out of retired?
Your dreams deserve action… What are you waiting for?
Your time is now!
