Wow! I'm so excited! I am actually going to see Dr. Wayne Dyer in Calgary tomorrow! Might not seem like much, but for me another little dream gets checked off my list. I’ve followed Dr. Dyers work for 7 years, and always wanted to see him, but I almost didn’t get there! And it was all because I didn’t believe I would. But, something changed, and sure enough, thanks to all the cards falling exactly into place, I am going after all!
At first I figured I just probably wasn’t going to be able to go. I had heard about the event, but I guess just assumed it would be sold out by that time. So I didn't even try... WHY the heck not? Why wouldn't I have at least checked if there were tickets? Here I had basically assumed I wasn't going to get to go without even considering it. Why wouldn’t I believe that I would get to do something that I’ve always wanted to do? Why is that I would automatically assume it wouldn't happen for me? It was as if an old feeling that “I don’t get to do what I want” was sitting in my head, or maybe it’s that “MOM” thing where we put what we want last over the family, whatever it was, I didn’t believe that something I wanted could actually happen.
Then...I came across a flyer at a trade show this weekend for this exact event and, even as I looked at it, I thought... “In no way do I have the time, there is no way could I get tickets, there can’t be any seats available and I probably shouldn’t spend the money”. Sure enough, as I read on...right there it said...”Tickets still available...from $59.00”. Ha-ha, WOW, it was like something was saying...“Excuse me, but I couldn’t help but overhear”. OK, so now I’m paying attention... maybe I should at least go as far as to look into it.
So I did at least, at this point, start to look into it. I looked and sure enough there were seats available, but when I looked at the seats available, and told myself...”Well, they aren’t that great of seats...” I know... Trying to still squirm out of it! And the next day, although I was still on the fence, I started poking around the internet and sure enough, I ran across a site that gave me the promotional code to get an additional 10% off.
Ok, so far...the signs are all pretty clear are they not? There are seats; I have all the means and an extra 10% off. Isn’t that enough to tell me, “Just go already”! But still...I waited another day yet.
So I logged on one more time today to look for seats and sure enough, by some miracle, there was a set of 2 AMAZING seats centre stage, 5th row that weren’t there yesterday... definitely WEIRD! (But they were more than the $59). At this point I should’ve known I was meant to go, but I still figured I’d see if I could do better. Yup! I still wasn’t convinced I was supposed to go. REALLY?! I picked up the phone and I phoned Ticketmaster, just wondering if there was something better? Something better than 5th row center with a discount to listen to someone I have followed for 7 years that rarely comes to Calgary? What the heck was holding me back...every sign so far is pointing to JUST GO ALREADY! And sure enough, the Ticketmaster agent told me, he couldn’t even do any better than that set of seats for that price, and the closest he could get me was the upper balcony at the same price. So you’d think I’d be convinced by now right...still not quite yet...
Then I proceeded to tell myself..."well, I probably can’t get a babysitter". So I sent a text message to our sitter, who we haven’t seeing in months, as we have been so busy, knowing full well she is usually busy with school, work and extracurricular activities, usually one of which I was sure fell on a Tuesday and I wondered if I would even get a text back in time before those tickets were gone, sure enough... she text me back almost instantly, and was available!
OK. So now I have absolutely no reason that I wouldn’t go right? WRONG...One last thing...better check with the husband...He’ll most defiantly say no right? WRONG! He was all for it and told me I should defiantly GO!
Um, so I guess as hard as I tried to sabotage doing something I know I wanted to do, to find some reason I couldn’t go, I was undoubtedly told this was going to happen! If ever there was divine intervention pushing you to do something...this was it.
It just goes to show how many little things all have to fall into place for a busy mom to take time to do something for herself and I hope that if you ever find yourself dragging your feet to do something you know you want, need or would love to do you take a moment to just say YES to giving back to yourself, to go for those little dreams, and realize that you have something in your corner, encouraging you to do it. If it’s in your greater good to do it, I know you will get a little glimpse of some divine intervention helping you to do those little somethings for yourself, checking off your little dreams. It's just your job to accept it.
So today I accepted the signs to go for it, and tomorrow, despite my little efforts to sabotage my way out of going and doing something that I love, I’m going to see Dr. Wayne Dyer Live in Calgary and live out one little dream of mine.
