Feeding the Soul (Because It's My Business)

Our journey begins with a gentle exploration of the gifts we each carry within us, often hidden beneath layers of doubt and fear. Imagine a child who dreams vividly, seeing events unfold before they happen—visions that feel both mysterious and overwhelming. Such was the experience of a young girl who, from as early as six or seven, dreamed of being trapped in automatic doors at a grocery store—only to encounter that very event days later. These early glimpses into the unseen world are not mere coincidences but profound gifts that beckon us to trust our inner vision.

For many, embracing such gifts is fraught with anxiety. The fear of being misunderstood, labeled as 'crazy,' or rejected by others can silence even the most powerful callings. But what if these gifts are the very keys to unlocking your purpose? What if the visions, the talents, the passions you harbor are uniquely yours to nurture and share? Recognizing and trusting your gifts is the first step toward living a life of authenticity and fulfillment.

Consider the story of a woman who, despite early fears, chose to embrace her prophetic dreams and visions. She found that these gifts, once accepted, became a source of strength and clarity, guiding her through life's challenges and enabling her to serve others with compassion and insight. This journey from fear to acceptance is a universal one—each of us must decide to own our brilliance or let it remain dormant.

In a world often quick to judge what it does not understand, the courage to be authentic shines like a beacon. When you honor your gifts, you set a foundation of self-trust that empowers every decision and every step forward. Remember, your gifts are your business—nurture them, protect them, and let them illuminate your path.

As we close this first chapter of our journey, hold close the truth that your unique talents are not accidental but divinely ordained. They are the seeds of your destiny, waiting for your care and commitment. With this foundation laid, we move forward to the next insight—understanding that faith alone is not enough; we must also do the work to manifest our dreams.
