Sometimes a teacher, always a student…
So I was on my way to my first speaking engagement as an author today (thank you, Wayzata Rotary Club!), and I was feeling a little panicked. I had had a very difficult morning at work, and was SUPPOSED to go talk to people about seeing miracles in their own lives. It's an understatement to say I wasn't feeling very miracle minded right then. So I called Dave (my husband). "How am I supposed to talk about miracles when I can't even come up with one of my own today?" I panicked. He said, "Maybe you're on your way to yours right now."
And that was it. As soon as I arrived, I was greeted warmly by people who were so excited to hear about my book; so open to learning how to see and experience miracles in their own lives. As I read them some stories, and told them about what I've learned, I had one of those "Aha!" moments. Here I was, thinking I had come to be the "teacher," when actually, I was the student of my very own book. I paused, and told the audience what I had just realized, and thanked them for being my much-needed miracle today.
I met so many wonderful people, and am so grateful for the opportunity to talk about my book to whomever will listen. I just have to remember to listen to myself. No matter where or what we're coming from, we're always on our way to our next miracle!
