Then Something Amazing Happened

 Hoda Kotb told a story recently, on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. 
She’s brand new at NBC and her new boss wants her to work on her voice and how she enunciates.
He gives her an example of,” Then  something amazing happened” and she reads it several times and isn’t really getting it.
Then he reads it to her, accentuating his voice mid sentence and she gets it and she leaves the room and she hears Keith Morrison speaking in the sound booth. He is reading his script and enunciating like the boss just showed her.
And she gets it.
And her life changes in that moment.
Something amazing happened.
She’s repotting herself now.
She’s realizing it’s time for a new chapter. 
She’s leaving the familiar after decades, and is excited about what’s possible in the future. HG Wells said, "Sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you want to be. The person you are."
Hoda used the example of pulling up a plant to re-pot it. When in the transition the roots just dangle in the air.
I don’t know about you, but I can certainly relate to feeling un-potted and not yet repotted.
It's a feeling of being exposed and very vulnerable.
I think we as humans have the ability to live through the worst and then create the best, when we listen to our inner voice.
That inner knowing we all have but we ignore it way too often. 
It is never wrong.
My mom used to say that the still small voice is God directing our steps.
Whispering to us in our quiet moments which direction to go.
Which way to turn.
She said, as long as I listen to that voice that life will always be good, things will turn out ok.
With so many homes and lives and businesses destroyed from these back to back hurricanes.
It's hard to imagine what's next.
How to even start the next.
I know you are out there feeling like some dangling roots in the air.
You are not alone.
Know there is a new pot for you.
You can write a new chapter.
You can rebuild and dream again.
Then something amazing can happen.
