Street of Destiny
“DESTINY IS WAITING ON US” (formerly posted on February 6, 2008)

My Writing Accountability Partner, Tisha Y. Lewis, spoke these words to me after hearing about my speaking opportunity at Bethune-Cookman University in January ’07:  I was able to dialogue with Communication and Theater Arts students about linking their experience with opportunities while sharing from my book, Transition: Breaking Through the Barriers.  This was an exciting and uncomfortable time: exciting because speaking here was one of my dreams; uncomfortable because I had never done it before.  Yet through the mixed emotions, there was fulfillment!
 
“Destiny is waiting on us.”  This phrase is fascinating, yet unnerving because destiny is often thought of as something we wait on.  But similar to the scientific discovery that light is both particle and a wave; perhaps we too will realize that destiny is both given and received.
