I recently found myself looking back through some of my old journals. My earliest entries date back to 2017, and when I became a coach in 2018, something shifted in the way I wrote.
My journals became filled with gratitude, possibilities, and something I called my 10 Dreams I Made Happen.
Not goals I had already achieved, but dreams I was writing about as though they had already become my reality.
Some were big. Some were bold. And some, quite frankly, I had absolutely no idea how I would make happen.
On June 5, 2019, one of those dreams read:
"I have a team of 10 people employed."
That was it. No business plan. No clear picture of what those 10 people would do. Just a vision of building something bigger than myself.
Nearly two years later, on March 12, 2021, that dream started to take shape.
"I have a team of six coaches."
And just four days later, on March 16, I got even more specific.
Two life coaches. Two business coaches. One health and fitness coach. And myself as the sixth.
I didn't know what the business would look like, how it would operate, or how I would bring it to life.
I just knew I wanted to build something that brought great people together to do meaningful work.
And then, life happened.
Years passed. Priorities shifted. Opportunities came and went. And somewhere along the way, that dream found its way to the back of my mind.
Not because I stopped believing in it, but because sometimes life takes us in directions we never could have planned for.
Fast-forward to this year.
I found myself ready for something more. Ready to build something new. But this time, I knew one thing for certain.
I didn't want to build it alone.
So I picked up the phone and called my friend Lauren.
I shared the dream. The one that had been sitting in my journals for years. It was still a little muddy, still missing pieces, and still very much a vision rather than a plan.
But Lauren saw the possibilities, too.
Together, we started asking questions, challenging ideas, dreaming bigger, and putting in the work to turn something that had lived on paper for years into something real.
And that's how Posy began to bloom.
What's beautiful is that POSY has become something even bigger than that original vision of six coaches.
We're building a trusted place of connection, bringing together experienced coaches, consultants, and professionals who are passionate about helping people and organizations grow.
A place where you don't have to know exactly what kind of support you need or even what questions to ask.
You simply start with a conversation, and we help connect you with the right people.
And just as importantly, we're creating opportunities for incredible professionals to share their expertise, collaborate, and do more of the work they love.
It's not exactly what I pictured back in 2019.
It's better. Because the vision had room to grow.
I share this because I think sometimes we're too quick to believe that if a dream hasn't happened yet, maybe it wasn't meant to.
We get distracted. Life changes. We lose clarity. We put things on hold.
But sometimes a dream isn't forgotten.
Sometimes it's simply waiting for us to grow into the person who's ready to bring it to life.
Looking back at those journal entries, there's something incredibly special about realizing that a vision I carried quietly for so many years is finally becoming a reality.
And there's a lot of peace in knowing that just because something hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it never will.
Some dreams just need a little more time, the right people, and the right season to bloom.
Here's to the beginning of Posy, and to all the dreams still waiting to come to life.
