Note to Self

When I woke up this morning, I recall my dream with such a vividness. I am thanking my old boss for encouraging me to continue my education. It's only in my waking state that I realize his words have been with me for years now. I make the decision to send him an email, even though I haven’t talked to him for fifteen years. Like an obsessed old girlfriend, I crawl the internet to find out where he’s working and send off a quick note. Nothing too fancy, just a simple “thank you”. In retrospect, I probably shouldn’t have mentioned the dream…he’s probably sharing it with his wife right now asking if he should respond or pretend it landed in the spam folder.

I realize I neglected to share this with my peer coach in our call today. No, instead we were exploring all her progress, even in the midst of some challenges on the extended family front. She is being strong, courageous, and is focusing on what she needs to learn from this experience. I admire her. I need to ensure to tell her this now, and not wait a decade. Note to self.
