Universe spoke. I listened.

Surprise...I'm already a sex educator, I guess.

A couple months ago a friend of mine sent me a flyer for a free 3-day sex educator training put on by the state of Michigan, where we live.

I barely read the details but I signed up immediately. All I knew was it started in August, it was free and it was based in the field I want to get into. Sign me up.

Ya’ll …ya girl had no idea what she was getting herself into and how, once again, this whole trajectory could be changing again…for good reasons.

I’m currently 2 days into a 3-day training program designed BY people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) FOR people with I/DD. I’m so here for that kind of material.

Here’s what I found out on day one:

• this training normally costs about $1,300 if paid for privately

• this is a certification program and I will be certified to teach the Elevatus 22-lesson curriculum at the end

• in exchange for the program being free and once I am certified, I am agreeing to teach this material locally and often. And soon.

• this is a co-teaching program, I will always be team teaching with someone from the I/DD community.

• this is exactly where I want to be.

What’s that? Is that you, Universe? Are you aligning everything up for me in a way I didn’t see coming? Did you slap this amazing opportunity in front of me without me even realizing it? Did you just get me connected with the exact people I need to know in order to turn this plan into action?

Yes. Yes you did.

I’m still processing the training and the ways in which I want to share it with you. I’m also preparing for the final class, where I will be teaching a lesson from the curriculum.

I also have a really important meeting tomorrow where I will get answers to a lot of my open-ended questions.

Wish me luck!
