Many years ago I watched an interview of Dr. Wayne Dyer. He shared something he learned from Mother Teresa. She told him to simply find someone who feels they are alone and show them that they’re not. That’s my intention here.
Please listen all the way to the end. Don’t turn it off when you hear the music start playing. Thanks so much. Enjoy!
I share my stories because I believe it’s possible that someone can gain from my experiences, epiphanies, and insights. When I was in church, there was a scripture that was often quoted that says that we overcome by listening to other people’s testimonies. This has been true for me. Right when I’m ready to give up, or when I feel what I’m doing has little to no value, someone comes along and shares how my post helped them, or someone I look up to shares their story of once being where I am, and I gain additional strength to continue my journey.
For me, Tabitha Brown has been the latter. Her stories resonate with me so deeply and on so many different levels. She both encourages me for where I am and to keep believing in where I’m headed.
Yesterday, I came across a video of hers on Facebook (see below) that I honestly had seen before, but it hit different this time. (Honestly, it’s possible with ADHD that it’s the same video that led to my other post thanking Tabitha Brown. 😂) When I watched her video yesterday I got emotional. It was so inspiring to see her past and future meet. That’s the beauty of recording what we do. There’s evidence when we get there that it wasn’t always like this. I got to see that by following guidance (her gut instincts, inner knowing, whatever you want to call it) when it didn’t make sense, she is now living her dreams. I relate so much to not really seeing how one thing will lead to the other, but still doing what I feel “led” to do, because I know the voice of my inner guidance and I just follow it. And I’m going to keep doing it.
One of the things I love so much about Tab is that she is so honest about her spiritual connection and she leans in to that inner guidance, and unapologetic about talking about it. Everyone won’t get it, but for the ones who do, it’s so validating. It’s so inspiring. It’s so encouraging. I feel less alone. Because no one really understands what it is to be doing what other people aren’t doing, and experiencing what few people experience, and to keep showing up authentically when you know some people are wondering why you won’t just do like everybody else.
And I’m so grateful for how she openly shares and talks about what others might be scared to talk about. It encourages me because I’m out here saying things that people don’t say, and vulnerably sharing my journey… simply because it feels right to share it. As I gain these lessons, I immediately share them because I want us all to grow and evolve. I don’t keep it to myself.
That’s the whole point behind Share & Let’s Live! We ALL have gifts, passions, skills, and interests that we can share with others. And as we do so we ALL get to evolve. Whether it’s that you know how to crochet, or that you learned how to ride a bike in your 40’s, simply sharing these experiences can cause someone else to realize it’s not too late for them. We get to inspire each other.
So anyway, didn’t mean to make this so long. On this episode of Share & Let’s Live! I’m thanking Tabitha Brown (again 😂) for being so amazingly, authentically her. Thank you, Tab (if you ever see this). I cannot count how many times the inspired “word” you shared was EXACTLY what I needed in that moment. Thank you for following you inner guidance unashamedly. You truly inspire me and I am so grateful.
Anyway, if you haven’t already, check out today’s podcast, “Maybe It Will Get Better.” (And remember I cuss. 😂) You can find the play button directly under the meme/image above.
Oh, and here’s Tab’s video that had me in here sniffling and deciding to believe again.
Blessings!
