awe
According to Merriam-Webster, AWE is an emotion variously combining dread, veneration, and wonder that is inspired by authority or by the sacred or sublime.
The last 5 weeks of my life have been filled with incredible AWE…
The kind of AWE that made me sob tears of joy upon seeing the space shuttle for the first time, thus fulfilling a childhood dream…the dream of being an astronaut…
The kid of AWE that I felt when my 3 beautiful stepchildren looked me in the eye, held my face in their hands, and told me that I am indeed their mommy…thus fulfilling a childhood dream…the dream of being a mother…
The kind of AWE that happened when I sat in the circle of my badass sisterhood, safely ensconced in their loving arms, vulnerable and raw and finally releasing more than 30 years of grief for my dead father…
The kind of AWE that inspired me to truly step into my true power and finally affirm to myself once and for all that I AM a must know phenomenal woman, a social justice badass, and a fierce speaker who is creating money by building my reputation and people’s awareness of what I have to offer.
Today, I encourage you to look at what strikes the feeling of AWE in your hearts, souls and minds as you move through each precious day.
Today, as I am preparing my speeches for my upcoming emcee gig for My Step, Her Stride in San Francisco on March 16, 2013 I am inspired by a quote by Russell Simmons, “When you give without reservation, you’ll become a magnet that pulls the world toward you.” Lately I have been giving love and trust without reservation and what I have gotten back has been more great and more powerful than my wildest dreams could ever have imagined.
