“Fully inhale your dream and completely exhale manifestation of it.” ~T.F. Hodge

This past October, I was contacted by a representative of a local professionals’ organization, who was wondering if I would be interested in speaking for their group in 2013.  After our initial conversation, we continued to communicate by email as we worked out some of the details.  As the months moved along, I needed to follow up to inquire about the progress on the scheduling and details of the event, so I did a search within my email to find the conversation thread by typing in my contact’s name.

After the search ran and the results of my query were posted, I was absolutely stunned.  There was an older email, dated January 21, 2012.  The email’s composer was none other than yours truly.

After I clicked on the email and started reading it, I just started laughing.  You see, the email was one that I had written to myself.  Back in January, I was reading my local newspaper, and there was an article about this very same professionals’ organization, and in the article was the name of one of the board members of the group.  The name of that board member was none other than the person I had been talking with!  My intention, when writing the email to myself, was to remind myself to contact this person within this organization to see if they would be in need of a speaker for any future events!

I had completely forgotten about my email to myself until I ran the search query within my email.

Earlier today, I was officially confirmed as the keynote speaker for this organization’s event coming up in June of 2013.  I never would have imagined, back in January of 2013, that a little more than a year later I would be finalizing a booking as a keynote speaker of their event!

It’s amazing how quickly and how dramatically things can change in a year.  Would you like to know how this whole thing manifested itself?  It’s really cool…

I attended my first-ever planning meeting for the in-service committee at the college at which I work.  It just so happened that they were discussing possible speakers for the fall in-service.  I had to set aside my humble tendencies and mention that I was a speaker, and that I would enjoy the opportunity to speak for the in-service as the keynote speaker (this wasn’t an easy thing to do for me, because I don’t have a history of self-promotion).  The group deliberated on it and gave me a vote of confidence and booked me.

I spoke at the in-service in August.  One of the people who works with me is a board member of a local human resources association group.  It just so happened that a speaker that was scheduled for their upcoming monthly meeting accidentally double-booked, and they had to back out of their presentation, which meant the association had to fill the slot.  Because I spoke at the in-service, my colleague at the college asked if I would fill in.  I said yes!

I spoke at the human resources association meeting a few weeks later.  At that meeting were two board members for a local professionals’ organization.  They liked what they heard from my presentation, and called me a couple of weeks later to see if I would be interested in speaking for their group in 2013!

You just never know what will end up manifesting itself, but when it does happen, it sure is awesome!

What are your stories?  Do you have a similar experience that you could share?  I’d love to hear them!
