Dreams can Come True

I am a woman, who in mid-life has awakened to the possibilities that exist in the world.  I work at a small, state funded university in a rural state.  I love my work, but it pays my bills, not my dreams. 

My life plan was altered early on by the death of my mother,  my grandmother, and my first husband.  The youth of my life was spent caring for them.  I lost all my dreams...but new ones were being reborn in me.  I just didn't know if I'd ever have the time or the resources to implement any of them. 

I went to college, got my degree and ended up like so many with student loan debt.  1/3rd of my income goes to pay my student loans, I do not live a big lifestyle, I do not own a home, or a new car, I do have wonderful animal rescue companions, that is my life. Work, Yoga, Love, Animals and living slow and small.  

I have decided to ask for help.  To surrender to the universe and ask for the dreams  I am working to build. 

I was raised by an alcoholic/ I.V drug addicted mother.  I took care of her my whole life, and those who struggle with addiction in West Virginia and else where know this struggle.  I have 12 years of continuous recovery, how I got here is by the grace of my Higher Power, people who love me in spite of me, and YOGA!! Yes, YOGA!!  It is yoga that gave me the peace of mind to work and dedicate my life and goals to body movement to remove trauma and deep rooted addiction.  I am asking for the GoFundMe to help me to get to a YOGA training that is directed at those who are in recovery and those who are working and fighting their demons in recovery.  

I want to add the Desire Mapping Licensure to also work with those who have the light souls but are misfits in a given world.  I want to add both to reach out and give back to those who have shown up for me and those I can show up for.

I teach yoga, it is my dream and my life, as I am a non-traditional yoga teacher, I am curvy, fluffy, zaftig, fat...but I am fit and I love yoga!!!  I want everyone who believes they don't fit in yoga or life to meet with me, share with me their darkest moments, so that together we can begin to rebuild their lightest desires and dreams.

I am working on being a healer, a lover of life and sharing my experiences and losses in my life to rebuild and rebirth my own dream and those of others. A healing coach of dark dreams and light desires.

I am asking for 3000.00 which is half of the amount I need, I am going to raise the other half with workshops, yoga sessions/weekends, and probably some other creative juju I can come up with, maybe a bake sale.  I am not asking just to ask my plan is to make half, but with a deadline, I cannot make the full amounts, so am reaching out to network and hope, pray, dance and yoga my butt off that someone may read this and think, "I dig her, she wants to help, she has a plan and I want to support that plan."  Anyway, any amount, given in love, time or care is what I seek.

I would like to have the funds in under 30 days so I can register and get moving towards my dreams, why? Because I am old also, I don't have the time I did in my 20s and  30s and now is the time.  I have enough wherewithall to do these things. I have body love and memory and service to give, I want to show up and give where I can!

THIS means so much to me, as I work hard to give to show up for anyone, any time, I don't ask for anything in return, not because I'm altruistic, but because I'm human.  I want to do this so I can give more to my community and to life, this life, the one we are living now.  I want to serve the loves in my life that  I am still meeting in a manner that is oriented to wellness and growth!

This is my PASSION, this is what I was brought on earth to share and to give, I just need those who believe in me to share this with others, to help me, so little by little I can move forward and meet my goals and dreams.

I am so grateful, I am working on a way to offer some form of gifting in return for the various amounts given, I will have something for everyone who contributes, that I promise. 

Thank you for l only am trying to do this so that I can move forward with a dream that I have had for many years...it may come true, I may get closer, but whatever happens, thank you for taking the time to read this and share it if you so desire.

Namaste,
Gabi
