You have no idea how thrilled I am to have you become part of my community here at AU. I love having you here!

You’re absolutely right - the gap between our own reality and our own version of amazing is much, much smaller than we think. Why? B/C it all boils down to our own perceptions of what constitutes reality. My take? It’s what you make of it that determines the end results.

Thanks for the compliment on me taking the step out of the safety net. When we do that, it becomes an adventure in itself and in the process, we learn much from the experience.

Once again, it’s an honor to have your presence here. I’ve admired and watched you for a very long time. I certainly look forward to the day our paths cross. It’s bound to happen - the laws of attraction dictate that it’s inevitable - only a matter of time.

How exciting to meet you, especially since you’re also a apeaker/trainer! It takes tremendous amount of courage to walk through the sea of fear and get to the other side. There is such power in doing that because whether or not the outcome was successful, we both know from experience how it can empower us in ways we never foresaw.

Thanks so much for leaving a heartfelt comment and for letting me know your husband is a student pilot! He has a lot of paths in front of him if should choose to take them. Did you catch the news from last week that Matt Herrman, from Iowa became the 2nd deaf pilot in the world to earn an instrument rating? I wrote about it in my weekly gratitude post (End of the Week Gratitude Theme #12). I think you’ll find some other items of interest in there including the now-famous Steake and Shake incident with my blogger buddy Karen Putz. I think you’ll be shocked, perhaps angered at what happened to her.

The blogging world is surrounding Karen with incredible light and love.

One last thing. I, too, ask God for divine guidance and he always answers in some way, form or shape. It’s a continual learning thing for me in terms of knowing how to “hear” his responses. Knowing what to look for or how to interpret my intuition. It’s an ongoing process.

Anyway, thanks so much for stopping by! I’m thrilled to hear from you - obviously I’m glad you found me. Be sure to keep in touch with me and let me know from time to time how you’re doing with your training business. I see your training website isn’t up yet but I’ll look forward to seeing it once you have it up and running!

Another exciting reason I’m glad of the stumble is my husband is also currently a student pilot and Deaf. He’ll be glad I found your blog too.

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for stumbling this article - I really appreciate it. Seems that a lot of people were touched by this experience so I’m glad I shared it with everyone. I’ve decided to add this to the list of “Most Inspiring Posts” based on the responses.
