How One Woman Created Her Miracle

By Shannon Andreini

Emails, emails, emails. I get no shortage of emails in my email box everyday. There are so many that I often have to file them away into different folders to come back to later when I have the time. I wouldn’t want to miss many of them, especially the ones that inspire, give me hope, and encourage to me to follow my dreams. I found myself opening a very special email from TeraWarner.com that day. I chose not to file it away with the others, because I listened to that voice inside me that said Open me! Open Me! Best decision I ever made.

I Knew I Needed More for My Life

It was an email sent about a trip to Tulum, Mexico, that described a place where women could find themselves. It was a beautifully written email that screamed out to me APPLY! APPLY! And I did just that. I filled out an application to take an unknown trip to an unknown place with a group of unknown women. And of all the applicants, I received a response to join them in Mexico.

I couldn’t have been more excited. I didn’t know exactly what it was I was going to get from this trip, but I knew I needed more for my life. I needed that jumpstart back to health, back to clarity, and most important… back to ME!

Off to Mexico I went. I was nervous, anxious, and more importantly knew I would come back a different person. But I swallowed those feelings knowing inside my heart this was going to be a life changer. And boy was it!

A Trip I Will Never Forget

I was greeted with such loving welcome at the doors of our resort. I had never known such a warm welcome from a group of people, women at that. All of the women there had all of the same feelings I had. We were all there for the same reasons, but different as well. We all had something that we were taking back home…. a change in our minds, our hearts, and our bodies.

We enjoyed the most beautifully created raw meals each day. We learned lessons about each other, the world, and ourselves. It was a trip that I will never forget. Every day we met in our circle and we bonded as women. I found myself soaking in every piece of information I could on this trip to take back to the “real world.” I learned more about myself, how to face my fears, and how to follow my dreams.

And speaking of dreams, who would have ever thought that mine would be met. As I watched miracles happen with different women and their realizations of their lives come forward, I was blessed to see mine unfold as well. I had dreamed for many years to be part of a global change that would not only inspire women, but also show them that what they put into the universe will happen if they truly learn to believe.

For years I had been going over in my mind “How could I do this? How could I live the life that not only inspired me but also would inspire others?” And Tera approached me that first day. “I don’t typically do this, but I feel we should talk.” Me? Really? Inside I was jumping for joy and scared to death at the same time. Someone who I had admired for so long and was such an inspiration to me wanted to have a chat. And that we did. We walked the beach alone, where I was able to share my hopes, my dreams, my fears, and my life with Tera. The picture that I had been creating for so many years, that personal miracle I had for myself, finally came true. Tera had asked me to join her team! Tera unknowingly pulled a woman who had been painting pictures in her mind for years, to join her movement to change the world one woman at a time.

Rediscover Yourself and Paint Your Picture

One thing I can say about the “Be You” Trip to Tulum, Mexico… if you have dreams and you want to learn to paint your picture, rediscover the person YOU TRULY ARE and want to be… then it couldn’t be a more perfect place to do so. My personal journey there, I will always be grateful for. And to be blessed to watch the other women go through their own personal journey and changes as well, will always be most inspiring to me.

The biggest lesson of them all is… Anyone can create his or her own personal miracle. The question is… are you willing to allow it to happen and will you recognize the new door that was placed in front of you to walk through?
