⏰ A Little Unexpected Time Travel
Last weekend, I noticed something funny in our hotel room.
The clock was completely wrong. Not just the time, but the date too.
It was displaying July 17, 2017, at 7:32 PM.
Of course, I had to take a photo.
Seeing that date got me thinking about how much can change in nine years.
Back then, I had recently returned from my first mission trip to Haiti. That experience completely shifted my perspective and helped me see just how much abundance and opportunity already existed in my own life.
I was in a job that wasn't the right fit, although I didn't know that less than a year later, I'd have the opportunity to leave with a severance package, take almost a year off, and ultimately find a career path that suited me much better and eventually led to be starting my own consulting business: MMG Impact.
I was six years into my relationship with my husband and four years into our marriage. At the time, it was the longest relationship I'd ever been in. Today, we've been together for 15 years.
I was also just beginning a health journey, experimenting with healthier food choices and becoming more active. I was one year smoke-free after quitting ci******es, and I'm proud to say I still haven't had one since.
Looking back, I couldn't have predicted where life would take me. Today, I'm healthier than I was through much of my 30s, embracing my uniqueness more fully, living more authentically, and sharing that passion with others through my own business.
This experience reminded me that we're always exactly where we need to be. Every challenge, opportunity, and unexpected turn helps us learn, grow, and become who we're meant to be, even when we can't see it at the time.
🤔 So now I'm curious...
What were you doing on July 17, 2017? And what has changed the most in your life since then?
