Scattered clouds hovered over the forest quickly , as the speed of lightning followed by the sound of thunder, startled Alan as it awoke him from his deep sleep. “What the.. am I dreaming?” The storm that was coming was not expected and unfortunately, it was enough to scare him away. “Why today!! It’s my birthday!” Alan has always lived a sheltered life. 25 years old and it was time for him to look for a new hobby, so he bought a new bike. He grabbed his mountain bike up from the pile of leaves that he slept in and peddled his way towards Mount Lafayette, which could be seen from a mile away, leaving behind his portable stove, heated raviolis, and sautéed portobello mushrooms. The sudden adrenaline rush gave him no time to think twice about where he was going. “Mount Lafayette!” He yelled. “I’m almost there!” He did not know just how much this experience would mean to him after he had arrived at Mount Lafayette- but it did. He shook his head in utter disbelief and said once again, “Am I dreaming?” He could not believe his eyes. A musical was taking place in front of Lafayette castle. He stood there amazed and then he launched into an improvised tap dance choreography. Cast members paused to look and soon enough Alan was welcomed into their tribe.

That is a true story. And that is something you can do in sunshine and in rain. Celebrate like Alan did. Short story on being yourself and how your vibe attracts your vibe!! Miracles like these can happen anywhere!
