“I only ended up there because of you.”
That’s what my friend said after attending a reunion at the school that changed her life.
She told me how powerful it was to be back—seeing the students, reconnecting with her teachers, and feeling the love of that community. She was glowing.
I had no idea what she meant.
I didn’t even remember she’d gone to that school, let alone that I had anything to do with it.
And I was like, “What are you talking about?”
According to her (and we’re gonna trust her on this one cause my memory is crap and it does sound like something I would do):
About 15 years ago, I had just found this energy healer. Their work had really helped me, and I had this strong, unshakable intuition that my friend needed to go see them too. But I knew if I just told her to go, she might brush it off or think it wasn’t worth spending the money.
So instead, I called her up and said, “Can I borrow $100?”
When she said of course, I admitted the lie.
“Actually, I don’t need it. I need you to spend it on this healer for a session, because I think they can help you.”
And she did it. She went.
She had a powerful experience, then asked the healer where they trained, and that’s how she found the school.
Since then, she’s built a whole practice and business using those tools. She met a community she loves. And she’s been walking a path that’s deeply aligned with who she is. She was so grateful, and it blew my mind.
Because I never thought it would go that far.
I just wanted her to get some support in that moment. But it ended up shifting the whole trajectory of her life.
And it reminded me:
We really don’t know the impact we’re having.
We don’t know what moment is going to stick.
We don’t know what small act is going to unlock something massive.
Especially now, when things feel heavy or pointless or like nothing we do makes a dent, I just want to say:
Keep going.
Keep showing up in the weird, intuitive, imperfect, brilliant ways that only you can.
Because even if you don’t see the results right away, your contribution matters.
And chances are, it’s already doing way more than you realize.
Trust that the universe has a bigger plan than the one you can see (because even if it doesn’t, your life will be better for it).
And keep moving.
