Words cant possibly do justice to what just happened.
To go see the NFL Baltimore Ravens play a home game, and somehow, some way be able to:
| Sideline passes to the Ravens game |
B. Go on the
field. I had no idea how I would pull any of this off.
Notice I DREAMED BIG, BIGGER THEN BIG. I figured, if I’m
going to fly clear across the country to see this game, I want it ALL. I want
the once in a life time experience. Not just sit up in the nose bleeds with a
bunch of drunks. NOPE! Every time I envisioned this dream, it was ALL OUT! I’m
not exactly sure where my unwavering faith came from here, but it was always
there, I just KNEW it would be all the above and more!
Now on to the BIIIIGGGG dream!
So this spring through my Life Coaching practice I met a
former Baltimore Ravens player, who became a close friend and who had arranged
for our tickets. I had no idea what kind of tickets they would be. But I know my friend, and I trusted he would make sure Kanen and I had a
great time. I hadn’t asked any of my connections for side-line passes to the game.
Because I work with many professional athletes I try not to ever ask for anything
from them, but at the same time, I knew what my dream was.
“Randomly” (I say it sarcastically because there is no
“random” it’s all the Law of Attraction at work) my close girlfriend had recently met one of
the coaches Todd Washington, and mentioned that I was flying across the country for the game…..
and yep! He offered to try to get us SIDELINE PASSES. Turns out he also coaches Kanen’s dream “meet and greet” Michael Oher. It sounded too good to be true!!! (as if!) It
was what I was EXPECTING and WAITING to see HOW it would pan out. I knew I
couldn’t force or make it happen, I knew it would come to ME somehow and some
way. He let us know that he was requesting the passes and that nothing was a sure
thing until game day.

I have a good friend from Oregon who
plays on the team and I knew he’d come say hi to Kanen, so we smuggled our pictures and in pen
anyway.
It’s hard to describe what it’s like to walk under the
stadium, past the locker rooms, past all the security guards, following your
personal VIP escort (click to watch video)out the same tunnel the team runs through to take the
field…it really is one of those moments in life that take you back to being a 5
year old on Christmas. Like holly crap! I
can’t believe I’m here! The ULTIMATE Pinch Me Moment.
Kanen and I just looked at each other when we walk on the
field, like HOLLY CRAP! OMGGGG!!!! Coach Todd comes over to
say hi and sign our tickets, take a picture. He’s heard of Kanen’s dream to
meet Michael Oher, and we watch him walk across the field where Oher is quietly
warming up with headphones on, alone. They both look at us and we wave, he walks
back and tells Kanen, Oher will come by and sign his picture! I look at Kanen
who promptly freaks out! Then my friend Ed Dickson comes out and sign Kanen’s
pictures, takes one with us. The other field pass people in our small group are
all like who the hell are they? (meaning
us) What’s their deal? They take pictures of US with the players and
coaches, since they have been forbidden to approach the players themselves.
Then Ed runs across the field to Michael and asks him to come meet Kanen too, which was pretty great. The players and coaches and cheerleaders all bring
lute for Kanen and came to take pictures with him.
And then….. We watch Michael finish his stretches and walk
across the field towards us. He gets mobbed by the others who’ve been waiting
to see and talk to a player, but he walks straight through them up to Kanen.
Says “so you’re the kid I just have to meet! Nice to meet you! What can I
sigh?” I’m not sure Kanen spoke at all. I made sure to thank him and snapped a
picture. Kanen was speechless.
EXACTLY AS I HAD DREAMED IT.
| Amazing!!!! |
DREAM BIG PEOPLE.
Dream the dream you don’t think you have a RIGHT to dream. Dream THAT dream.
Dream it. Then LIVE
it.
Don't make excuses why you cant or shouldn't dream it.
Don't EVER use your current financial situation to set limits on your dreams. The Law of Attraction will deliver your dream if you believe, it doesn't care about money.
Today was the last day of our trip, and Kanen and I walked
around Baltimore loving every minute. As a last Law of Attraction gift, I
ordered a taxi for the airport and the front desk manager who had we had talked
to and told about our trip, instead got us a lemo. He said it was his gift and
we should be sent out in style. Now that’s MAGIC people!
I’m NOT unique.
I DON'T live a charmed financially secure life.
I’m just like most of my readers, I’m a struggling single
mom.
| QB Joe Flacco warming up in front of us |
I focused on the EXPERIENCES and NOT the things, and I got
EVERY SINGLE EXPERIENCE I DESIRED. Money
was never part of the equation.
You don’t need to be
rich to live the life of your dreams.
You just HAVE TO
DREAM IT.
I’m unemployed at the moment for godsake!
It’s possible for
ANYONE to live their dreams. You just
HAVE TO BELIEVE WITH UNWAVERING FAITH, and have a very clearly defined dream.
| Our seats where amazing! 100 level |
You must also be patient. This dream sat on my board for
over a year. Some even longer, but they WILL COME TRUE. We don’t control the
timeline, we control the DREAM. We also control our own awareness to jump at
opportunities when they show up, like me booking the flights the one and ONLY
day I saw 2 tickets for the exact amount of miles I had. If I had waited, or
doubted that the rest of it would come together then NONE of it would have. I
was given a window of opportunity that was tiny… (Literally when I booked it
online it would not let me finish the reservation because one seat was already
gone, I had to call and for an hour work with the agent to find me another) but
I just took that risk. I went on a leap of faith that if I booked the flights
while they were free and in front of me that somehow some way the rest of it
would fall into place. I was scared, trust me! That’s a huge trip to book in my
world, to go across the country on a small budget with a child, I knew it was a
risky thing to do. But I believed.
Seize the moment, be utterly grateful for the blessings in
your life so more can come your way.

That is so awesome!!! As a hopeful public speaker and LOA believer, this really shows me that anything, and I DO mean ANYTHING, can happen if you just hold to the belief in the manifestation of the dream. Sometimes I get sidetracked and let appearances creep in but almost immediately I am able to refocus on the truth of what I know and not the lies of what I "see". Thanks for sharing your truly remarkable experience.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you! Such an Amazing trip! I really needed to hear how much your visualisation and unwavering faith has worked for you! I have so much belief and faith in the Law of Attraction, but sometimes you just you have to be put in situations that you might not want to be in. But I trust in it, I know its for a bigger purpose and will help me achieve that bigger dream. Thank you Sarah, I'm so grateful that I can celebrate in your success and follow your journey. That dream that I don't think I have the right to dream, I AM dreaming that one. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, it just PROVES that anything is possible if you believe, and get up and move in the direction of your dream. It's just ONE example, I have so many but this one is so CLEAR its crazy!
