This morning started in the most unexpected way.  I went out for my run, earbuds in, and clicked on a podcast simply because the title mentioned UFOs (my nerdy self couldn’t resist). But instead of a quirky story about aliens, I was met with something much deeper – an interview with Shehnaz Soni, a woman who works with NASA.

She shared her story, her beliefs, and so much of what she said resonated with me. She talked about being true to yourself and in control of your own destiny – words that landed in exactly the right place for me right now. One thing she said has stayed with me all day: she wants to be “in charge of her own death.” Not in a morbid sense, but in the sense that if she had walked the path others had planned for her, she would have died without living her truth. That struck me deeply. 

Later, I came home and watched a video I had saved days ago without really knowing what it was about. To my surprise, it spoke of transformation, of not judging your dreams, of being open to what life brings. Again, this message was exactly what I needed to hear today. 

It feels like the universe has been weaving these reminders into my day – to stay open, to listen, and to keep choosing the path  that is mine. I don’t have to have it all figured out right now. What matters is that I live honestly, walk  forward with openness, and allow myself to transform. 

Today reminded me: even when I  think I’m just clicking on a podcast about UFOs, life has a way of  delivering the messages I most need to hear.
