“Faith, trust, and pixie dust.”

“All you need is a little faith, trust, and pixie dust.” - Peter Pan

Last night at the pays-the-bills-job, I was thinking about Blessing Manifesting and I got lost in my daydream world of plans and ideas, of magic, of being sustained and nourished by what I do, and then it hit me so hard and so quickly.

This is my life.

Honestly, truly, completely, this is my life. This is me. I created this, I did this, I changed the course of my life. I became who I never dared dream I could be. It was a moment of complete disbelief that I am where I am. I am so amazed by everything that I am and everything that I do. I never would have imagined that I could be here, right now.

Five years ago I lived in a pit of despair, lamenting about why the Universe hated me, why I never got what I wanted, why everyone treated my badly, why I was born into this ugly body, why no one ever loved me enough to stick around. That's where I was five years ago, a gnarled, twisted, mass of hurt and bitterness that was slowly transforming into something sinister and hateful. This is where I am now, and I got here on my own. I had wonderful helpers, supporters, and cheerleaders, but I did the work, and now I'm sitting here writing this.

Miracle.

I was listening to my mp3 player and the song "I'll Try" Return to Neverland started playing and I realized that I finally believe. I finally believe that I can do this. I finally believe in myself.

If you've ever looked at yourself and thought that you didn't have "it", that you couldn't do it, whatever "it" means to you, I want you to know that you can.

You can do it.

Five years from now you're going to look back on this moment and know that this was a turning point.

This was when you were brave and crazy. This was when you made miracles and magic.

This was when you took a flying leap off of the cliff and you didn't fall.

You freakin' flew.

This is your moment.

This is your time to shine.

Have faith in yourself, trust in yourself, and the Universe will provide the required amount of pixie dust.

Know without a shadow of doubt that you can do it.
