There’s something poetic about life’s full-circle moments. As a child, whenever someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer would change—a lawyer, a detective, maybe even a teacher. But one thing never changed: my backup plan was always writing. It was the one dream that never faded, even when I wasn’t actively pursuing it.
I remember filling notebooks with stories, losing myself in imaginary worlds, and feeling the thrill of creating something from nothing. But as I grew older, life took me down different roads. I became a mother. I navigated challenges I never expected. I convinced myself that writing was something I could always return to "one day." The years passed, and the dream sat in the back of my mind, waiting. Now, at 40, I find myself returning to it—not just as a hobby, but as a way to help others. My words, my experiences, my journey… they all have meaning. And maybe, just maybe, my story can help someone else find their way.
The Power of Dreams: A Guiding Light "Dreams are the touchstones of our characters." – Henry David Thoreau
When I first read this quote, I felt it in my soul. Writing has always been one of my deepest dreams, not just for the sake of putting words on paper, but because I knew my words could have meaning. Even as a child, I had a strong sense of the world, an understanding that seemed beyond my years. I always wanted to help people, to offer guidance in some way, even if I didn’t know exactly how. Looking back, I realize that writing—my oldest dream—has always been my way of fulfilling that purpose.
Dreams aren’t random. They are whispers from our higher selves, reminding us of who we are meant to be. They may evolve and take different shapes, but they never truly leave us. Instead, they wait for us to be ready to embrace them fully.
Embracing My Worth: The Affirmation That Changed Everything For years, I questioned whether it was too late for me. Could I really step into this dream now? Would anyone care about what I had to say? But then, a simple truth changed everything: my dreams wouldn’t have stayed with me all these years if they weren’t meant for me.
So now, I embrace this dream fully. I no longer question whether I’m "good enough" or whether the timing is right. I trust that the dreams that stay with us, the ones that never truly fade, are the ones we are meant to pursue.
✨ I am capable of every dream and worthy of every desire. ✨
And so are you.
Here are a few ways to start reconnecting with the dreams that call to you:
Journaling Prompt: Take a moment to write down the dreams you’ve had since childhood. What small step can you take today to honor one of them?
Daily Affirmation Practice: Repeat this affirmation every morning: ✨ “I am capable of every dream and worthy of every desire.” ✨ Write it down, say it in the mirror, or set it as your phone wallpaper.
Spiritual Tie-In: Use moonstone or clear quartz to amplify your intentions. Meditate with them while visualizing yourself stepping into your dream.
I personally use journaling as a way to stay connected to my writing dreams. Whenever doubt creeps in, I remind myself that my experiences, my voice, and my perspective matter. And yours do too.
Closing Thoughts: It’s Never Too LateIf there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that our dreams never leave us. They may change shape, they may take time, but they are always there—waiting for us to step into them. If writing could find its way back to me after all these years, then maybe your dream is waiting for you, too.
