Become the Someone Your Soul Has Been Waiting For
Be Someone Day: Become the Someone Your Soul Has Been Waiting For
Every year on Be Someone Day, we are invited to consider a simple yet profound question:
Who are you becoming?
In a world that often encourages us to become more successful, more productive, or more like someone else, Be Someone Day offers a different invitation.
Become more fully yourself.
Not the version shaped by fear.
Not the version edited to please others.
Not the version hidden behind perfectionism or self-doubt.
The version your soul has quietly known all along.
As the Soul Story Mentor, I believe every woman carries a remarkable story filled with wisdom, resilience, and purpose. Yet too often, those stories remain untold because we have mistaken our circumstances for our identity.
Be Someone Day reminds us that becoming is not about changing who you are.
It is about remembering.
Your Soul Story Has Been Preparing You
Your life has never been random.
Every joyful celebration.
Every unexpected detour.
Every disappointment.
Every triumph.
Every season of waiting.
Each experience has been shaping the woman you are becoming.
When we pause long enough to observe our lives with compassion instead of criticism, we begin to recognize that nothing has been wasted.
This is the first Soul Story Truth:
Awareness: Observe Your Story with Compassion
Awareness is the gentle practice of witnessing your life without judgment.
Instead of asking:
"Why did this happen to me?"
You begin asking:
"What is this experience trying to teach me?"
Perhaps your greatest lessons arrived wrapped in disappointment.
Perhaps your strongest gifts emerged after heartbreak.
Perhaps your deepest compassion was born from your own pain.
Awareness allows you to see your story not as a collection of mistakes but as evidence of extraordinary growth.
On Be Someone Day, take a moment to notice how far you've already come.
I’ve had three significant wake-up calls in the form of my three breast cancer episodes. Each one led me to become a stronger and more resilient woman.
Rewrite: Become the Author of Your Next Chapter
Many of us unknowingly continue living inside stories that were written years ago.
"I'm not enough."
"I'm too old."
"I'm not a writer."
"No one wants to hear what I have to say."
Those aren't facts.
They're stories.
And stories can be rewritten.
The second Soul Story Truth invites you to reclaim the pen.
Rewriting your story doesn't erase difficult chapters.
It gives them new meaning.
The woman who once believed she had failed may discover she was simply being redirected.
The woman who believed she had lost everything may realize she had finally made room for what truly mattered.
Your past explains you.
It does not define you.
Every sunrise offers another blank page.
What chapter would you write if you believed your voice mattered?
Choose Joy: Live from the Wisdom You've Discovered
Joy is not the absence of hardship.
Joy is the decision to keep your heart open anyway.
The third Soul Story Truth reminds us that joy is a choice we practice, often in small and ordinary ways.
Choosing joy may mean:
Writing one honest paragraph.
Calling someone who lifts your spirit.
Walking beneath a canopy of trees.
Laughing until your sides ache.
Beginning the project you've postponed.
Offering yourself the same compassion you freely give everyone else.
Joy grows wherever gratitude and courage meet.
It becomes the evidence that healing is possible.
Be the Someone Only You Can Be
Too many women spend years trying to become someone impressive.
Your soul asks something entirely different.
Become someone authentic.
Become someone compassionate.
Become someone who trusts her own voice.
Become someone who understands that every chapter contains wisdom worth sharing.
Become someone willing to leave a legacy of hope.
Because somewhere, another woman is waiting for permission to believe her own story matters.
She may never meet you.
She may never know your name.
Your courage to share your story could become the light that helps her find her own way home.
That is what it truly means to be someone.
Statistics tell us one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. By reading this article, you now know one woman who is more than a statistic who has been diagnosed three times. And she is someone who used writing as part of her cancer healing protocol.
