Happy Friday lovely dreamers!

It has been one heck of an amazing week! I wanted to take a moment to not only thank you for being here, but also give you a bit of a heads up about some of the new things that are brewing in the Life Once Dreamt world.

You may have noticed my posting schedule is a little abnormal as I am not posting nearly as much I have been in months past. The reason behind this choice is because I am working on some really exciting projects and my focus has been on those things a bit more as well as getting more wonderful dreamers for the Dream Changer series. I hope you are enjoying reading these amazing posts and will take some time to check out the personal pages that are included because these women are talented! Check out Lisa Sharp and Jennifer Seitzer if you missed them and go see what they are all about. Two amazing women with great stories full of inspiration for you 🙂

Some of the awesomeness I am working on:

I will be hosting a Free Creative Chaos call on Wed. March 26th for anyone interested that will help you untangle your web of creative ideas so you can begin taking inspired steps to creating again. This is for entrepreneurs, artists of all sorts, dreamers, and anyone else who simply finds themselves stuck due to the many ideas they have floating around in their head. Don’t miss this call on 3/26 at 12pm EST. If you can’t make it live, sign up anyway and you will be sent a link to the recorded call along with a worksheet of exercises and a copy of my tip sheet 20 Ways to Keep Your Dreams Alive. It’s a win-win!

I am also currently working with a group of five lovely dreamers in a group coaching program that is not only going to include 4 weeks of awesome material to help you take the leap into your wildest dreams, but also one individual session with myself and lots of learning from others in your group at a very affordable price. If you are interested in getting more info on that when it launches, please join my VIP list so you don’t miss out on this awesome opportunity. I will be limiting the group to about 15 people so I can provide the absolute best service to everyone in the group, so make sure you don’t miss the launch!

Last but not least, I have teamed up with a group of amazing women to bring you an e-course that will help you Recover from Overwhelm and Burnout beginning April 1st. There are some specials scheduled for the first 20 people who sign up so to stay up to date on all that amazingness and to get a peek at who is involved, hop on over to my Facebook page and check it out. I will be posting the link for sign-up very soon. 🙂

So that is it for the updates for this week. I hope you will check out some of the great things that are going on and sign up for my VIP list so you don’t miss out on the many opportunities to help you create and live the life you once dreamt.

Have a great weekend and as always, thanks for reading!

Yay for March-New Month, New Opportunities

March 4, 2014 by Lamisha

Happy Tuesday Dreamers!

I don’t know about you but I am so happy that we have entered a new month. For some reason February seemed like a lay low kind of month no matter how much I wanted and needed to get done. (Mercury retrograde possibly?) Did you experience your fair share of setbacks too? Well lucky for us, we are in a new month and spring is on the way! That means new growth, new opportunities, and new ways to work with me!

I was sharing on Facebook today that I am terrible keeping secrets, so I won’t even try (at least not too hard) to keep you in the dark.

Here’s what’s new.

I realize the idea of jumping into one-on-one coaching with me (or with anyone) can be an intimidating thing for many people. The idea of sharing your deepest dreams with a perfect stranger can be a daunting thing to face especially if you haven’t really embraced the possibility that your dreams can come true. So, I decided to create a group coaching program that I am testing with a beta group for the month of March. This coaching option will give you a chance to learn many of the things I share in my one-on-one coaching in a group setting so it doesn’t feel so intimidating. There will also be a way for you to connect with other dreamers so you have support not only from myself, but from others on their own dream journey.

Interested?

I will be releasing more information about the launch date, how to sign-up, and the specifics of the program in the coming weeks and I don’t want you to miss out on the details. So, if you haven’t already done so, please sign up for my VIP List so you are the first to know! I want to keep the group manageable to ensure each participant is getting the most out of the program so space will be limited!

Not sure you want to wait for the group program or are you interested in what individual coaching can do for you? Contact me to schedule a coaching consultation to chat about your vision and how I can support you in creating the life of your dreams. This session is totally free and helps you get to know me a bit to see if I am the right coach for you. It’s also a chance for me to answer any questions you might have about the coaching process and how I work. I believe in you and I’m ready to support you in bringing your vision to reality.

End of Year: Weeding Out The Old

December 29, 2013 by Lamisha

If you have been following my end of year posts, then you know we first began with a bit of reflection on the amazing things we learned and accomplished in 2013. The next step for me is weeding out the old.

I am a very literal person when it comes to clearing and purging things, so I tend to get a bit overzealous at letting go of material items. I am terrible at keeping receipts, manuals, and other things that I see as clutter that I might need in the future. That typically makes this process a lot easier for me each year since I am not hanging onto a ton of stuff I might need in the future.

While I am not sure where this need to clear originated from, I know that it is extremely important for me to start the year with a clean slate. Both figuratively and literally. I like my house to be clean, my laundry to be done, new bedding on the bed, and papers, clutter, and old stuff donated and tossed out. There is something about seeing a clean desk top or a new notebook that gets me all excited to create, write, and imagine new beginnings.

So, with that said, as I write this post a few days early, I am going to be spending much of my days getting rid of old stuff. You might consider doing the same. You know that closet that needs to be cleaned out and organized? The old pictures that need to be put in the album that has been collecting dust all year? Why not throw on some music, open the shades, and get that stuff done! There really is no better time than the moment to get those little things that have been sitting around waiting for you to tackle them. Just dig in and do it now!

What I love about this process more than the actual organization that takes place, is the after effects. The peace, the ideas, the inspired moments that occur when I am sitting in my newly organized space. There is something that happens when you clear out a room and let the fresh air and light in. It makes room for some really great creative energy to take over.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Clear out a closet or two that you have been meaning to get to all year-long
Take one box and intend to get rid of 10 items from each room in your house to donate
Go through your closet and get rid of old shoes and clothes that were replaced during the holidays
If you have children, fill a box with old toys to donate to a shelter
Dig into the catch-all room (we all have one) and organize those clothes, books, and the maybe-we will-use-it-one-day-items
Go through your filing cabinets and shred old documents you no longer need

This is by no means meant to be an overwhelming task and you don’t have to do everything on the list, but I think you will find that once you get started you will enjoy the feeling you get once you have accomplished a new task. Have fun with it and just imagine the amazing new energy and creative ideas that will come flooding in once you make the space for it.

Enjoy!

Your Dream Is Ready…Are You?

November 20, 2013 by Lamisha

Many times in coaching, I come across people who might need my help, but they just aren’t ready to take action. Some of them have absolutely no clue about what they want to achieve and are merely moving from one day to the next trying to survive (and not just financially either). These people are going through their days doing the things they are “supposed” to do (ya know working, paying bills, taking care of their family etc.) and while they feel like something might be missing, they have done very little to figure out what that is. They might be fearful of what is waiting on the other side or simply have forgotten what it feels like to dream again. These are the people who do such a magnificent job living in the moment for what it has to offer, while not thinking too far ahead.

Then there are the dreamers, the visionaries, and the self-development seekers. These are the people who are always working toward something. They have an idea of what they want but may not know how to get there. They are excited for what the future may hold, but they are stuck in fear, anxiety, or lack the confidence to move forward. These are also people who feel that something is missing and are ready to find out what that is. They dream, they envision, they imagine, and more often than not they have stars in their eyes for that moment when they finally feel like they are living their purpose and enjoying the journey of growth and evolution.

Both of these groups are stuck in one form or another, but the latter group feels the pull to move forward into the unknown. They are willing to risk leaving their comfort zone in order to see what else is out there. They are ready for that first step and many times that first step begins when they reach out to me to find out how this coaching thing works. Their interest was sparked just enough to make them wonder and imagine what they can accomplish with a little help.

Have you ever thought about what category you fall into? Both groups have their strengths and regardless of where you may fall, you too have a wealth of potential that you can use in this life.

The question is, when you feel that pull and you wonder what might be missing…are you willing to take the steps to figure it out?

Here is what I have learned since taking the leap of faith into my dreams.

If you feel like you were meant to do something more than what you are currently doing…you are probably right.
Taking the leap is far more exciting than scary
All it takes is a simple, tiny step to get the momentum rolling
Once you are on the path, the pull gets stronger and the inspiration that follows will remind you to just keep going

Will you take that step? Are you ready to drop the excuses, let go of the fear, and dive into your heart’s desire? If so, I would love to chat with you. I am still offering a free full-length 60-minute session to get a jump-start on 2014. Not only is this an amazing opportunity to make progress on your plans for 2014, but it is also a great way for you to see what it is like to work with me with no obligation on your part other than an open mind. Sign-up by contacting me here and we can get your session scheduled ASAP. Seriously, what do you have to lose???

November Theme: Gratitude & Giving

November 1, 2013 by Lamisha

Happy Friday you Darling Dreamers!

It’s the end of another week and the start of a new month! I can’t believe in 2 months we will be moving into yet another year of wonderful goodness. Can you feel the energy speeding up with the holidays quickly approaching? I sure can!

I have been thinking about 2014 a lot over the last few weeks. While each year feels like an opportunity to start anew, 2014 seems even more like a clean slate. Maybe it has to do with my current job coming to an end and the options for the future still to be determined.

Every year around this time, I get excited for the newness and a fresh opportunity to make huge strides in my life and to make it an even better year than the one before. I tend to do a bit of reflection on the past year to identify the growth, evolution, and lessons learned as well as figure out what I still want to work on. Then, I might sit down to write a letter to myself for the year ahead or create a vision board of what I want to achieve (depending on how I am feeling).

Do you do any type of reflection before you set your intentions for the coming year? I asked around to some of my friends and many of them said they haven’t even begun to think of what they want in 2014. Have you?

If you haven’t, I encourage you to take some time to do just that. Ask yourself the following questions:

What did I accomplish in 2013?

What lessons did I learn?

What didn’t I accomplish that I wanted to?

What was holding me back?

That last question is a big one and it may not be something you can readily identify. Many people would answer that with a simple word : Life.

When it comes to resolutions, intentions, goals, and big dreams there are a number of things that can hold a person back. Maybe you are fearful of failure (who isn’t?). Maybe you have a fear of the unknown. Some people fear success. Others say that lack of motivation, inspiration, and a plan to do what they love is the issue. Maybe it’s time, resources, money, connections, confidence, that is keeping you where you are. Or maybe you have no clue what it is.

Identifying what has held you back from achieving your deepest desires is a step in the right direction. Knowledge is power, so knowing what it is is half the battle. The other half is knowing what to do to get through it.

As we move swiftly into the November and the holiday season, I encourage you to take some time to reflect on 2013 so far. Don’t just identify the marks you missed, but make sure to identify the things you did well. The good, great, and amazing moments of 2013 should be celebrated!

With that said, I wanted to let you know that I have created a theme for November and that theme is Gratitude & Giving. With the holiday season upon us and a new year just around the corner, I wanted to extend some amazing (and FREE) opportunities/gifts for you lovely readers. While I am planning for 2014 to be an incredible-blow-my-mind-adventure, I also want to place my focus on the abundance and beauty that is in my life in this very moment.

So, for your first gift, you can download your copy of my article : 20 Ways To Keep Your Dream Alive! All you have to do is sign up for my newsletter and I promise NOT to send you unnecessary, boring, emails just to send them. This list is truly my VIP list, so you are going to want to take full advantage of the awesome gifts that are coming this month.

I hope you have a magnificent weekend and as always, thanks for reading!
