An open doorway

Posted on | April 30, 2010 | 22 Comments

Today, so many things seem possible. Blue skies, melting snow, joy.

At this very moment, I want you to share a dream that you want to see happen. If you could open a door and walk through it into any possibility, what would it be? One specific thing. Go!

    So close you can taste it!!! I’m so excited for you!

    My one thing to open a door and walk through it…a chance to talk to my father again.

    On an open doorway

    Is it serendipity or something else that brings such sweet amazing relief? After you’ve waited long enough, patiently enough; after you’ve listened enough; after you’ve gathered your resources, your energy, your personal army of sponsors– only then does it appear? I wish I knew the magic equation that made that spark fire. Is it spontaneous or precipitated? Maybe it’s as simple as looking for it . . . no how could it be that common. . . but just as you’ve found it, I’ve found it here too.

    a wide open road, with the ocean along side of it, and the freedom to follow it

    wow, you’re pretty much there, congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you.
    For me, it would be for my health to be better, and for our finances to become abundant, so we can stop borrowing money from people and pay them back. With the days growing longer and the sun shining warmer, this feels like it could be right around the corner : )

    Wow, I thought I had my answer and then I read April’s. And I gotta go with the same thing… a chance to talk with Dad again.

    Though if we’re talking about things that might actually be possible, I’d say the door I’d want to walk through would lead to discovering a way to have a 2-parent family now that I’ve done things in reverse order.

    My recent wish, the one I spent so much time on, came true last night. A positive pregnancy test.

    As I tried to answer this question for myself, I realized that all of my dreams at the moment are incredibly earth-bound: I’d love to finish my thesis. I’d love to be done planning this wedding and finally be married. I’d love to be assured of some financial security.

    But if I really try to answer it in the spirit you intended, then I would have to say… I would love to write and publish something that made a difference in someone’s life.

    By the way, not sure if I have commented here before, but I love your blog. Congratulations on getting the funding for your book!

    Just saw the 100%. Congratulations!

    My completely selfish wish would be to walk through that door to an eternal spring where I hold a baby in my arms and have my man at my side. Oh how I long for that. One day…

    I have read your post over and I have thought about it all night. The magic door? I don’t know. I guess it would be financial, because I would LOVE not having to worry about money. I would love to be able to just go shopping without checking the price tags… fantasy, right? Well YOU ASKED! I don’t have any really big dreams right now. I guess this new job is consuming that part of my brain. By the way: CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN on making the funding goal! I knew you would!

    so glad you can now follow this open door! mine…motherhood, whether through eventual conception or adoption, that my family would grow no matter where the womb :)

    You came upon a closed door. When you drew closer to the door, you saw it open ajar. You gathered all of the boldness and courage from within you and carefully nudged open the door, stepping inside the hidden room.

    You’re there, yeaaaay!

    As for the question ….

    I walk thru an open doorway and see– I know what that wish would be, I cannot bear to write it, tho’.

    Again, I’m so happy for you! I knew your project would get funded…but it is amazing & exciting!

    My door? Vibrant health once again and financial stability…dare I say financial more-than-enough-ness. Vibrant overflowing health & vitality and financial abundance. Yes, that’s it.

    Since I have my prince charming, my dear children, & a job I love…. My dream would be finding or building a real life community of women who I love and trust.
