The Vision That Waits

A love letter to the woman whose soul has been whispering the same dream for decades

This morning, as I sit with my hands wrapped around a warm cup of tea, listening to the symphony of birds greeting the dawn, I am thinking of you. I am thinking of the woman who, at twelve years old, wrote down her deepest vision on a scrap of paper and tucked it away, as if her tender heart already knew it was too precious, too vast, too sacred for the world to see.

I am thinking of the woman who has spent decades comparing herself to others, measuring her worth against external metrics, wondering if she missed her chance, if it's too late, if the calling that once felt so clear was just the naive fantasy of a girl who didn't understand how hard life would become.

But what if—what if—that twelve-year-old girl knew something you've forgotten?

This was me....

The Archaeology of Dreams

There is a moment in every woman's life when she becomes an archaeologist of her own soul. Usually, it comes in the tender, turbulent season of transformation, what we politely call midlife, but what I prefer to think of as the Great Remembering.

You dig through layers of who you thought you had to be, sifting through decades of shoulds and supposed-tos, until you find it: that original vision, that first knowing, that whisper from your soul that has been calling your name in a thousand different ways.

The vision doesn't change, beloved. We do.

We learn to question it, to minimize it, to tell ourselves it was too big, too impossible, too much. We learn to settle for smaller dreams, safer choices, lives that fit neatly into other people's expectations.

But the vision waits. Patient as stone, persistent as water, faithful as the dawn.

The Pathways Home

You have taken so many paths trying to get back to yourself. Some were long and winding, filled with detours that seemed like mistakes but were actually preparation. Others were short and straight, deceptively simple until you realized you'd bypassed something essential. Some were rocky and treacherous, requiring you to climb over boulders of pain and through valleys of despair.

Every path has been necessary. Every path has been leading you home.

The woman who compared herself to others was learning about her own unique medicine. The woman who feared missing out was discovering what truly mattered. The woman who tried so hard to make it all work was developing the strength and wisdom she would need for what comes next.

This is not about regret, sweet soul. This is about recognition. This is about understanding that your seeming delays were actually divine timing, that your apparent detours were actually preparation, that your so-called failures were actually initiation.

The Sacred Disruption

When the waves of change come, and oh, how they come in this season of life, they don't arrive to destroy you. They come to liberate you from everything that was never truly yours.

The disruption you've been experiencing, the way life has been shifting beneath your feet, the feeling of being shaken to your very core, this is not a breakdown. This is a breakthrough.

Your body is changing, releasing not just the capacity to create new life, but the old patterns of giving your creative energy away to everyone but yourself. Your spirit is shedding skins that no longer fit, making space for the woman you've always been beneath the roles you've played.

The paralysis you've felt, emotionally, spiritually, energetically, mentally, is the sacred pause that comes before transformation. Like a snake before shedding its skin, or a butterfly dissolving in the chrysalis, there is always a moment of complete stillness before the miracle.

You are not falling apart. You are falling into place.

The Choice Point

In this liminal space, this place between who you were and who you're becoming, you face the most important choice of your life: Will you let the stories of "too late" and "what could have been" calcify into bitterness? Or will you choose to see this moment as the ultimate fresh start?

I see you standing at this crossroads, blank canvas before you, finally free from the need to prove yourself to anyone. Finally ready to create from authentic desire rather than external expectation. Finally mature enough to handle the fullness of your own power.

The vision that called to you as a child it wasn't naive. It was prophetic. Your twelve-year-old self knew something that took decades for your adult mind to understand: You came here for something specific. Something only you can create.

The Great Return

What amazes me most about the soul's calling is how consistent it remains. Underneath all the layers of conditioning, beyond all the detours and delays, the essential vision remains unchanged. It may have deepened, become more nuanced, more integrated with your lived experience, but the core remains.

The excitement you felt then? You feel it now. The knowing you had then? It hasn't left. It has been waiting, patient as eternity, for you to be ready to receive it fully.

This is your time, beloved. Not because you've finally earned it, but because you've finally remembered that it was always yours.

The Canvas of Becoming

You speak of wiping the slate clean, and I want you to understand the profound courage this requires. To voluntarily release everything that no longer serves your highest good, the relationships, the patterns, the versions of yourself that felt safe but small, this is the work of a spiritual warrior.

You have been composting your old life to create rich soil for new growth. You have been burning away everything that was not essential to make space for what is truly yours.

Now you stand before your blank canvas with hands that know how to create, a heart that knows what it loves, and a spirit that finally trusts its own guidance. The vision is no longer haunting you; it is calling you forward.

Course Correction

Here is what I want you to know with every fiber of your being: It is never too late to course correct. Never too late to honor the whisper that has been calling your name since childhood. Never too late to choose the life that makes your heart sing over the life that makes sense to everyone else.

The woman you are now, seasoned by experience, wise from her wanderings, strong from her struggles, is exactly who was needed to birth this vision into reality. Your twelve-year-old self dreamed it, but she needed you to become who you are now to make it real.

This is not about reclaiming lost time. This is about claiming the time that is yours.

The Whisper Becomes a Roar

As you set your sails toward the magical and mysterious corners of your imagination, remember this: the vision that has been whispering to you for decades is ready to become a roar. The dream that seemed too big is finally meeting the woman big enough to hold it.

You are not behind schedule. You are right on time.

You are not starting over. You are beginning again, with all the wisdom and strength you've gathered along the way.

You are not too old to dream. You are finally old enough to make your dreams real.

An Invitation to Rise

Tonight, I invite you to do something sacred: Find that vision again. Whether it's written on a piece of paper or carved into your heart, whether it's exactly as you remembered or transformed by time, find it.

Hold it gently. Thank it for waiting. And then, with all the courage your journey has given you, with all the wisdom your struggles have taught you, with all the love your heart has learned to hold, choose it.

Choose to rise to the calling of your soul's divine whisper.

The blank canvas is waiting. The vision is ready. And you, beautiful, brave, becoming woman—you are exactly who this dream has been waiting for.

What vision has been calling your name since childhood? What dream has been patiently waiting for you to be ready? I would love to witness your courage as you choose to rise to your soul's calling.

With profound reverence for your divine timing,
Your companion in the great remembering

P.S. Remember, sweet soul: The fact that the vision has never left you is proof that it belongs to you. Trust the whisper. Trust the timing. Trust yourself.
