Do You Believe In Santa?
If you grew up in a home that celebrated Christmas, then you probably remember how
old you were when you found out the "truth:" There was no Santa. I was 9, and I was devastated. It was like the end of magic.

Perhaps there's a moment in every human life when we stop believing...not just in Santa, but in magic and miracles. We might give lip service to the idea that we're part of something larger, that life is conspiring to support us, that "it's all good," but do we really mean it? That's the real test. Not what you say, but how you live your life. Do you risk danger to satisfy your soul, or do you do what people expect of you? Are you taking steps to put your dreams into action, or do you believe that dreams are for someone else, and that you need to settle?

I know, sometimes it seems dangerous to dream. A recipe for disappointment. How many times have you heard: "That would never work because...." or "That's not how it's done” or "Who the hell do you think you are, anyway?"I heard all of those things, many times. I even found myself beginning to believe them. So what happened?

I'm not sure why I didn't just capitulate to the naysayers and the dream killers.
I Thank God. I thank Grace. I thank the parents who raised me to believe I could do anything. Something in me was stronger than all the reasons I was given to stay small.

Something in me said: I have to believe I can create a life of meaning. I am capable of more. I know I have something bigger to give. I was not willing to live in a world without magic, and I hope you aren't either.

We are here to create magic and miracles, to live abundantly, to share hope and to offer our greatest gifts to the world. Can you believe again?
