Message from Walt Disney
WELCOME TO THIS MAGIC MONDAY MOMENT
Kicking off your week with some thoughts around a favorite Disney quote (because in my world - Disney is life!).
original message date: 08/17/26
Happy Monday!
This week – I am dropping my oldest off at college. This is a first for all of us. And it’s a lot.
It feels most appropriate to share a quote from one of our favorite humans, Walt Disney:
Whether it’s starting college, embarking on a new career, entering a new relationship, or completely pivoting your life’s direction – it always begins with an idea, a thought, a dream.
It’s important to acknowledge this – because those dreams deserve light. They deserve attention. They deserve celebration.
Because when there are bumps in the path toward bringing those dreams to fruition…and there will be…
…it's easy to mistake the bump for a sign that the dream was wrong. That maybe college isn't for them or that this new job was a mistake. Or maybe the dream itself was too much, too soon.
But bumps aren't a verdict on the dream. They are usually just your sneaky brain offering you protective thoughts with good intentions. But what if the bumps are actually proof you're on the exact path you are supposed to be on?
We are watching our daughter do this right now – as she packs up a life into a few (or several!) boxes and embarks on something she can't fully picture yet. She’s excited, but she’s also nervous. And she's going anyway. It’s doesn’t mean there is an absence of fear. That's what dreams actually look like in motion!
Wherever you are in your own version of this - I'm not going to tell you it'll be easy. I'm going to tell you the bumps are part of it, not proof against it.
And – keep me in your thoughts this week. This mama’s heart will be going through it! 😘
Think of one dream you've put aside because the path toward it got bumpy. Ask yourself - is that dream actually dead, or did you just stop when it got hard?
Wishing you a wonderful week. You've got this!
