Last year I threw my name into the Sydney marathon lottery on a whim, knowing how rare it is to win a lottery slot in a world major.
Then late last fall, as I was running on the treadmill watching Blue Jays World Series baseball, I noticed a credit card charge come through my account- I got in! 😱
Now what?
Not going to lie, this one scared me a bit! I have never been this far from home, and as a single mom, I worried about being that far from my kids.
With my spinal cord injury I also have a very hard time sitting for extended periods and 26 hours of travel seemed incomprehensible.
Then of course there was the cost.
That all said, I am a huge believer in listening to signs from the universe. When things like this happen, I truly believe it’s a sign to take a risk- so I did!!
Then I suddenly got laid off from my job in March and I thought “what am I doing?” 😫
The internal struggle with this was real, but I still hung on to the belief that I got in for a reason and never gave up hope.
Sure enough, I ended up landing my dream full time job this spring, starting TOMORROW, and everything I worried about worked out, right down to the exact day.
I have burned a lot of to***co in prayer over the last year. 🍂 🔥 🙏🏽
I never take anything in my life for granted.
Sydney, you were meant to be, you were magical, and you were beyond my wildest dreams!! 🩵🩵🩵🇦🇺💫
Cape Town next? 😍
