Practicing Alchemy: Part 1

Practicing Alchemy Part 1: Let's Do It

Alchemist: Someone who transforms things for the better

In 2019, I had a recurring dream that I was standing in an art gallery observing people viewing art that I created. The art was of what must have been a billion hearts in the image of people who would creatively change the world. After the third time having this dream, I woke up, I began painting a billion hearts and somehow they took form exactly like the paintings in my dream.

Though most of the paintings have been created, there is a journey that I must embark upon in order for my Personal Legend to be realized. Today, I have decided to start my journey but instead of a crystal shop, my first stop is to be a t-shirt print shop and an art gallery. I don't know how long this part of my journey will last, but I will be intentional to make the most of it.

The past few years have been incredibly difficult for the world, me included. Between losing several family members, dealing with the implications of COVID, and living in my car for over a year - life for me ain't been no crystal stair. However, there has been some incredible moments such as obtaining amazing jobs which have afforded me the opportunity to work with two of my brothers, gaining a new niece, and getting a new car.

Through the golden days and the stormy days that's happened since that initial dream, I have learned first hand that ALL things do indeed work TOGETHER for the good. The storms have been equally as beneficial as the gold in moving me toward the life that God has for me and following my heART has given me a hope that my Personal Legend will be realized if I just keep going.

With a faith the size of a mustard seed, I am confident that this will be only Part 1 of "Practising Alchemy". This dream is not my own, it originated in the soul of the universe and it is my mission on earth. I will find treasure in my heART and the entire universe will conspire to help me achieve my dream of creatively changing the world, with love.

Let's Do It.
