I sat in my car, overlooking a shimmering intercoastal waterway, the night sky studded with stars. Everything around me had a vibrant, otherworldly glow<\/a>. This is West Palm Beach<\/em>, I realized. My family and I used to live here. But we\u2019d moved away about a year ago\u2026<\/p>\n

I was aware of someone sitting next to me in the driver\u2019s seat. Someone else sat behind me. I couldn\u2019t tell who they were, but their presence was comforting. I felt so at peace here. As if everything made sense.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is why you\u2019re here,\u201d the presence behind me said. \u201cThis is why you were born, Janis.\u201d<\/p>\n

I woke up in my bed in Illinois. It was early morning, and my husband was snoring softly beside me. What a strange dream that was<\/i>, I thought, heading to the kitchen to make myself some coffee.<\/p>\n

Waiting for the coffee to brew, I tried to decipher the message. It wasn\u2019t the first time I\u2019d had a dream like this\u2014vivid, meaningful\u2014feeling almost real. I\u2019d once dreamed of a man with scars on his face, whose skin regenerated before my eyes. Another time, I dreamed of touching the hand of a woman with no fingers and watching, awestruck, as they grew back. And now with this dream, I received a message<\/a>. I felt it was connected to healing people. But what could it possibly mean?<\/p>\n

I was the last person in the world to do any kind of healing or care work. I\u2019d never been comfortable with the idea of being responsible for someone\u2019s welfare. My life was full enough. I had a husband, four daughters and a house to keep. I was content with what I had. Busy but happy.<\/p>\n

The only time I\u2019d done anything resembling caregiving was helping out an elderly couple in our neighborhood back in Florida. The husband had Alzheimer\u2019s<\/a>, and his wife\u2019s health was failing. She needed someone to check in on her. I helped out with her husband, straightened up the house a bit and kept her company.<\/p>\n

Not long after my dream, I was visiting a friend I\u2019d made since moving to Illinois. She was showing me how to plant a flower garden, something I\u2019d been excited to try out. After all, someday my girls would be grown. I was trying to start projects that would keep me busy after I became an empty nester<\/a>. As we worked, my friend and I talked about our families. We got on the subject of her mother-in-law.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has Alzheimer\u2019s, and we need to find a full-time caregiver for her,\u201d my friend said. \u201cI would do it, but my husband needs help on the farm and we just don\u2019t have the time. I would love to find someone.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stopped what I was doing, a handful of seeds clutched in my right palm. I thought about the dream. The voice. It all made sense. The words flew from my mouth, almost before I\u2019d finished my thought. \u201cI can care for her,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n

For a year, I did. The fears I\u2019d had? They completely disappeared. I fed her, helped her brush her teeth, took her on walks, had conversations with her, danced with her. Even on the rough days, when the work was hard, I still found caring for her to be deeply rewarding<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The time came to move my friend\u2019s mother-in-law to the assisted living home. The facility actually reached out to me. \u201cYou\u2019ve obviously got a knack for this,\u201d they said. \u201cWe\u2019d like to refer you.\u201d<\/p>\n

I went on to work in the caregiving industry for 20 years. My daughters grew up and moved away, but my life remained full. Caregiving helped fill a void I didn\u2019t even know I\u2019d have. Though I never sought out care work, it always seemed to find me\u2014showing me time and again that I was doing exactly what I was meant to do.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
