Wayfinder Wednesday | The Path to Possibility | Week #1
A Soul-Led Journey Inspired by Infinite Possibilities (by Mike Dooley)
Welcome to Wayfinder Wednesday, my friend!
Wayfinder Wednesdays is a weekly soul teaching series offering gentle guidance, reflection, and sacred remembering. Each post is part of an unfolding course designed to help you return to your truth - one step, one breath, one rhythm at a time. Paid subscribers receive the full journey, while free readers receive a soft glimpse to walk beside us. You are already on the path - let’s keep walking together.
Welcome, dear soul…
Whether you were nudged by the Universe, drawn by curiosity, or whispered here by something deep within, you’ve landed in the right place.
This is The Path of Possibility, a 6-week soul-led journey inspired by Infinite Possibilities by Mike Dooley, reimagined through a soul-led lens of joyful becoming, sacred slowness, and gentle magic.
Why I’m Creating This Version
I’ve followed Mike Dooley’s work for decades. His “Notes from the Universe” have always seemed to find me when I’ve needed them most. In 2024, I became a certified Infinite Possibilities Trainer, and the teachings became not just something I shared, but something I lived.
But this version?
This version was born in the messy middle.
It was born after I said yes to life on October 15, 2022.
It was born during a season of radical healing, after cancer cracked me open.
It was born after I let go of the roles, expectations, and hyper-independence I’d clung to for decades.
And it was born when I finally remembered:
✨ I am a powerful spark of the Divine.
✨ I am never alone in my challenges.
✨ And life is still magical AF.
This course is my reimagining of Mike’s work, woven with whimsy, tenderness, and sacred rhythm. You’ll still learn about thoughts, beliefs, emotions, action, intuition, and creation. But you’ll also meet Melvin the Mostly-Mystic, befriend your Divine Inner Child, and discover how becoming can feel more like coming home than climbing a ladder.
What We’re Here to Do
This isn’t just a class.
It’s a sacred pause.
A remembering.
We’re here to gently begin deliberately creating the life you truly want… one filled with more joy, more peace, more meaning, and less fear, stress, and striving.
We’re here to explore what it means to create purposeful, soulful change.
Not from hustle… but from clarity, curiosity, and self-trust.
You don’t need another certification, lucky break, or perfect plan.
You don’t need to be “better” or “more ready.”
You need belief. Imagination. Willingness.
A little trust in the Universe, and A LOT of love for yourself.
Most of all, you’re here to remember:
✨ Life is magical.
✨ You are powerful.
✨ And real change is not only possible, it’s already waiting for you.
What to Expect Over the Next 6 Weeks
Each Wednesday, you’ll receive a new chapter of this journey:
A soul-rooted teaching
A personal story or reflection
Journaling prompts & practices
A creative visualization to anchor your dreams
And a gentle path forward into the next possibility
✨ Free subscribers will receive the weekly introductions, themes, and insights.
🌸 Paid subscribers will receive the full teaching, access to the Creative Visualization practices, journal prompts, and the downloadable Infinite Possibilities Student Workbook.
Meet Melvin the Mostly-Mystic
Before we meet Mike, I’d love to introduce you to one of the newest residents of The Sacred Playhouse… a whimsical realm I’ve created to help us explore healing, joy, and soul truth through imagination and gentle storytelling.
This is Melvin the Mostly-Mystic (aka the Low Budget Merlin).
He’s a duct-taped delight.
Part grandpa wizard, part spiritual sidekick, part cosmic tea enthusiast.
He believes deeply in your magic, even when you forget it yourself.
Melvin isn’t here to give you perfect answers.
He’s here to walk beside you with a sparkle in his eye, a crooked wand in his hand, and a reminder that you don’t need to be polished to be powerful.
✨ You don’t have to get it right… you just have to show up.
✨ You don’t have to move fast… you just have to keep going.
✨ And you don’t need a cape or crystal ball (or expensive doodads) to create real change.
He’ll be popping up now and then to sprinkle some wonder, ask beautifully weird questions, and cheer you on as you walk your own path of possibility.
Want to know more about where he comes from and what The Sacred Playhouse is all about?

This Week: Meet Mike + Begin the Journey
Before we begin the lesson, let’s hear from the heart behind Infinite Possibilities. Mike is the reason this entire journey exists, and I’m honored to bring his message into this new, soul-led expression.
🎥 Watch the intro video below to get grounded and inspired.
My Why: Where This Journey Begins
Before we go any further, I want to share something tender with you.
One of the most important things I’ve learned… through both Infinite Possibilities and my own life… is that we don’t have to be perfect to be powerful. We don’t need to have it all together to begin guiding others. In fact, it’s our realness, our softness, our stumbles, our becoming, that makes us trustworthy teachers and loving companions on the path.
This is my Why Story.
Not a highlight reel.
Not a pitch.
Just the honest truth of what brought me here.
I’m sharing it not to say “look at me,” but to say:
“I see you. I’ve walked through it, too. And I’m still walking.”
Whether you’re on the edge of something new, in the middle of unraveling something old, or just trying to believe that something more is possible, I hope this story reminds you:
You’re not behind.
You’re not alone.
And your path is sacred.
🎥 Watch below to hear how this journey began for me, and why I believe in it with all my heart.
Your Wayfinding Question For the Week:
After hearing my story, I want to invite you into a moment of reflection, not performance. This journey isn’t about rushing into change. It’s about reconnecting with what’s already stirring inside you.
Even if it’s quiet.
Even if it’s unclear.
Even if it feels like just a whisper right now.
This prompt is here to meet you where you are:
What dream or desire are you ready to believe in again,
even if it’s only a whisper?
There’s no right answer.
Just take a breath, soften your shoulders, and let something rise.
Trust whatever comes.
You don’t have to know the whole path.
Just the next soft step.
If you’re already a paid subscriber, your full lesson is waiting just below.
Inside, you’ll find soul-guided reflections, a gentle teaching on how thoughts shape reality, a creative visualization practice to anchor your dreams, and a journal prompt to help you take your first sacred step.
And if you’re not quite ready to go deeper just yet, that’s okay too.
You can carry this whisper with you. Let it root. Let it rise.
When your heart says yes, the path will still be here.

You were never meant to figure this out alone.

Introduction to Chapter 1: Thoughts Become Things
A gentle beginning. A powerful truth.
Every journey begins with a thought.
And whether you’re here feeling hopeful, hesitant, or somewhere in between, this is where your next chapter quietly begins.
In this first lesson, we’re exploring the core of it all:
Your thoughts create your reality.
Not in a “just think happy thoughts and life will be perfect” kind of way.
But in a real, lived, moment-to-moment energy-shaping way.
Your thoughts ripple through your choices, your beliefs, your emotions, and ultimately, your experience.
This chapter isn’t about forcing yourself to be positive.
It’s about becoming aware.
Softly. Consistently. Kindly.
Because once you remember that you can choose new thoughts,
you begin to remember that you can choose a new life, too.

A little stardust from Melvin to keep things playful
Melvin appears in a dramatic puff of (slightly recycled) glitter smoke...
“You don’t need a wand to work magic. You just need a willingness to believe something new. And maybe some tea. Belief brews better with tea.”
This chapter is simple, but not shallow.
If all you do this week is begin to notice your thoughts without judgment, you’ve already taken a powerful step.
And remember:
✨ You don’t have to believe in the magic all at once.
✨ You just have to begin with a whisper.
