Wide Awake Dreaming

I'm back at the kitchen table at 2 AM remembering the months of blogging at this hour during the most difficult months of my healing journey. Tonight I'm not frustrated. I'm full of adrenaline. I'm dreaming of things I want to do with my life. Dreaming of the environment I want to create for my kids. Dreaming of ways to spring forward into new places opening to me.

I can't sleep because in four hours, I'll be heading to Fresno for four days for Craniosacral Therapy training. This is a door I barely had to touch and it flung open for me. I've been intrigued by and interested in Craniosacral Therapy since I was gifted a session a few years ago. After my car accident, I had several sessions with a wonderful Craniosacral Therapist in town. After seeing her, I knew I wanted to pursue it someday.

"Someday" came sooner than I anticipated. I'm excited and nervous. I'm wondering how it will all play out. I almost passed up the opportunity simply because I can't see how my dreams will meld together and how this journey will unfold. As I considered the advice I would give a friend in my shoes, I knew I needed to take the leap of faith and go for it without having a solid plan or vision of what this will look like. I will entrust myself to the beauty of the unknowns in this journey.

I'm standing on the threshold of a doorway to new territory. It looks beautiful from here. Wish me well and a wide awake, healthy brain as I work to absorb all the new information over the next four days.

Signing off for some real, deep sleep dreaming . . . I hope!
