Dreamer Highlight: Spiritual World Traveler

by

This week’s Dreamer Highlight is a blog I have been following for a while now and am always inspired by the author’s view of life and how she follows her bliss.  The Spiritual World Traveler blog is one that follows the author on her world travels as well as her spiritual journey.  It is a blog that should not be missed.

I love so many things about this blog including the author’s interest in so many hobbies and niches.  Her talents in photography, poetry, yoga, and her artwork remind me that we don’t have to do just one thing.  In fact life is meant to be enjoyed in its many forms and this blog is a great example of that.

Some of my favorite posts include Tornadoes and Paintings and Dinner! Oh My! which describes how one lovely painting came to be.  Another one of my faces is Before Yoga where the lovely Spiritual World Traveler made her decision to take on a 30 day, 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, something she had wanted to do for a very long time.

I am always inspired by the zest and peace that the Spiritual World Traveler shares in her blog and I encourage you to take a peak to see what I am talking about.  She is the perfect example of a woman who has followed her heart to places all around the world as well as to the beautiful gifts she shares with her readers.  I hope you are inspired by her journey and do at least one thing today that is simply a response to the pull of your heart and your passion.

Enjoy!

 

Dreamer Highlight: Elizabeth Harper From Sealed With Love

Lately I have been drawn to dreamers who give in fully to the inspirational pull they have and in doing so, find a wide variety of dreams waiting for them.  I think part of the reason I am drawn to these type of dreamers is because I am one of them.  I have never been a woman to do just one thing.  In fact I have always had some sort of midnight hustle in addition to my day job that fulfilled the creative soul within me.  I have choreographed pieces, coached dance teams, taught dance, and am now writing and beginning my life coaching business.  I am convinced we aren’t meant to do just one thing and if we were able to remove all doubt that blocks our progress, we all would be doing 2,3, or 4 things that fills us with joy.

This week’s Dreamer Highlight is a woman with bubbling passion, creativity, and ingenuity in all of the wonderful things she does.

Elizabeth Harper is an intuitive medium and healer as well as an author, artist, spiritual teacher, and creative soul.  Not only does she do various intuitive readings for her clients, but she also attends and teaches various workshops to teach clients how to tap into their intuition and use it in their every day lives. She also allows her creativity to take flight in her art that includes amazing jewelry, silk energy wraps, meditations, and her book Wishing: How to Fulfill Your Heart’s Desires.

What I love about Elizabeth Harper is her vibrant energy (which can be seen in her weekly Colorscope intuitive readings on Youtube) and her love of life.  She follows her heart in all of her pursuits and simply does what makes her happy whether it is creating amazing fairy wing pendants or following her intuition to create personalized energy wraps for her clients.  Her energy is contagious and she is the ultimate dreamer.  To find out more information about Elizabeth and her amazing work, check out her website Sealed With Love.

The more I do this post, the more I realize how many people find that their path just unfolds almost effortlessly when they follow their hearts.  There may be small challenges to overcome, but generally speaking each step of their path unfolds in exactly the right time and without a lot of “work” on their part.  Instead of planning, stressing, and worrying in order to make something happen, they find that the more they follow their hearts, the easier it becomes.  And you don’t just have to do one thing.  You can do many things if they bring you joy!

So what are you waiting for?  Go find your joy!!

Dreamer Highlight: A Heart A Day For 1000 Days

I found this week’s Dreamer Highlight feature a few weeks ago when I was checking out new blogs that were recommended to me and I am so glad I found this one.

A Heart A Day For 1000 Days is a project that Hazel McNab began as a personal challenge when she first decided to create a beautiful heart each day for a full year.  Each heart that she makes is uniquely beautiful and is accompanied by inspiring words that make for wonderful art for the home or office and being a lover of all things related to love, I immediately became enthralled with her work.  After completing her year-long challenge, she decided to expand her 366 days of hearts to A Heart A Day For 1000 Days.  This challenge may seem overwhelming to those of us who are artistically challenged, but for Hazel each heart is full of love, meaning, and beautiful inspiration.

After having such a wonderful response to her beautiful work, she began creating postcards and greeting cards as well as taking on commissioned work that turned her hobby and challenge into a business of sorts.  She is still posting one heart a day and is currently on heart #512 of her current 1000 hearts goal.

I chose to use this project for our Dreamer Highlight this week because of Hazel’s ingenuity.  Even though she was already a fashion and textile artist, she found an additional passion through a challenge she set for herself.  That challenge led to another and now she is inspiring people one beautiful heart at a time.  It just goes to show you that often our dreams can emerge organically by simply doing the things we enjoy.  It also proves the point that you can do the things you enjoy and with enough passion and drive, make a career out of it.

Please check out Hazel’s amazing work at her website hazelshearts.com and her blog here.  You can also check out her Facebook page and her Etsy store for more inspiring pieces.  I promise you won’t be disappointed in her work and you might even find yourself pining for a piece of your own.

Dreamer Highlight: Leah Pearlman of Dharma Comics

I am so excited to share with you this week’s Dreamer Highlight.

Last week while I was perusing the internet I stumbled upon an interview Lilou Mace did with Leah Pearlman in Japan and after hearing about her journey and viewing her website, I fell in love with her creativity, drive, and her artistry.  In the video (that you can view here), Leah tells Lilou how she stumbled upon her inner artist as she was on her own spiritual journey to find her life purpose.  As she followed her inspiration to different places in the world she found herself drawing these stick figure comics that served as documentation of some of her favorite memories, thoughts, or inspirations.  She later found that what started off as a hobby, quickly escalated into something greater and that is when Leah Pearlman found her inner artist and Dharma Comics was born.

Dharma Comics is a concept unlike any other I have seen and upon seeing one or two of her illustrations you will instantly fall in love.  Leah takes lovely spiritual quotes, musings, thoughts, and her own inspirational sayings and couples them with her unique illustrations to make genuine works of art.  Check out her website here to see her collection of thought-provoking and inspiring comics that speak to the soul.  I have highlighted some of my favorites here, here, and here.

One of the things I love so much about her story is that she followed her heart every step of the way.  She did the things that felt good to her by traveling the world and while she was “searching”, she wasn’t doing anything that felt like struggle, work, or stress to find her passion.  She allowed it to unfold organically as she followed each little inspirational nugget along the way.

Simple?  Maybe, but it works.  The more we struggle and fight to do anything, the more resistance we bring to it.  When we allow ourselves the joy of doing what we love and follow our inspiration on the way to our dreams, we are allowing the energy to flow and we remain open to the possibilities around us.  It is there you may realize that thing you were reaching for was there with you all along.  You couldn’t see it because you were trying so hard to find it.

If you are looking for a lot of inspiration and some wonderful work, check out Dharma Comics.  I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Do you have an idea for the next Dreamer Highlight post?  If so, feel free to contact me with the info.  I would love to check it out!

Dreamer Highlight: Mike Dooley: Founder of TUT (Totally Unique Thoughts)

by

Happy Monday!  Let me begin by apologizing for my disappearing act at the end of last week.  Things got a little crazy with family in town and a short trip this weekend, but I am back on track this week with another Dreamer Highlight.

I first heard about TUT when someone mentioned “A Note From The Universe” which at the time was a very profound and inspiration quote.  I of course had to check it out for myself.  Turns out the notes are delivered daily to your inbox when you sign up here.

Notes like the one below appear in my inbox every week day and I have to say they are a great way to begin the day.

 

Have you noticed, Lamisha, how lacking clarity is clarity itself?

How, if you aren’t sure about something, that alone, has meaning?

Honor uncertainty. It’s the womb from which all-knowingness comes.

Clearly,
The Universe

But, that’s not all there is to TUT, to check out all the wonderfully inspiring articles, interviews, and so much more, check out their website here.

Instead of focusing on the actual website, I want to talk a little bit about Mike Dooley, the dreamer.  I am including him in this week’s Dreamer Highlight post not because of his corporate business experience and success, but because of the faith he had in himself and the Universe to achieve a life full of passion, purpose, and vision.

What he did:  After working in accounting and traveling the world, Mike moved to FL to be closer to family and to achieve a new dream.  He wanted to start his own company, but wasn’t sure what type of company he wanted to create.  After a few months he joined efforts with his mother and brother to create TUT (Totally Unique T-shirts) that displayed various quotes and sayings on them and after selling over one million t-shirts he moved to something greater.  He decided to share his knowledge and experience in creating the life of his dreams in his first audio program “Infinite Possibilities:  The Art of Living Your Dreams”.  Since then, he has gone on to speak in front of large and small audiences, written several books, and been featured in the movie The Secret to share his knowledge far and wide and to help others find the power within to live the life of their dreams.

How he did it:  Mike Dooley started with a vision.  An intentional purpose to better understand the world and to be able to share that information with others.  All he had to do to make it happen was listen to his intuition and act on it when the time was right.  The truth is, Mike knew that he had the ability to do whatever he wanted and that as long as his intentions were lined up and he allowed his dreams to take shape, his dreams would come true.  (To read more about Mike’s journey check out his about page here.)

One of the things I love about Mike’s story is that he is proof that you don’t have to just have one dream, you can have many.  Once you achieve one, you build your confidence to be able to move onto something bigger.  Something greater than you ever imagined.  Life is meant to be savored, enjoyed, and experienced and once we realize the power we all have (you included) to create the life of your dreams, the possibilities are endless.

So, what are you waiting for, start now.
