I am now lying on my bed in a hotel in Hyderabad, India, it's midnight and in just 10 hours I will be holding a newborn child in my arms. The most amazing thing is that it will be my biological child, a gift I thought I would never have. I know I keep saying this but I didn't have much going for me, I am gay, I was a single man, I had no uterus, I was over forty and, and, and. So many reasons that I thought I could never have a child, however, there was this word I have come to love and to cherish...Possibility.
Everything is possible, I have heard that many times in my life. Did I truly believe it? I don't think I did, it may have been my adolescent insecurities, my upbringing or Greg Eaton and his constant bullying. It could have been a lot of things. When I truly understood the power of this word, my world shifted, it changed, I changed. The first thing I did when I learned the power of possiblility was to quit smoking, then it was to become a triathlete, move to Japan, become a trainer, start my own business and then having my own child.
All of these things were created by me and that little word possibility, as soon as I understood there was possibility in everything I just started looking into the possibility. It is the actually doing that creates possibility, if there is something you truly want and you start to make it happen it will generally happen. So remember there is no possibility if you don't believe it is possible. So believe, it is. Look at me, Im going to be a dad in ten hours.
If there is something you want, go out there and get it.
Dearest, many blessings from Rio, tonight we pray for a safe delivery! We wish you much joy, health and happiness with this lucky little one who will be born into so much love. Trust me, it will be a delicious ride! Love, mariana
