What do YOU want?

March 31, 2014 by Lamisha

With the release of the Unleash Your Personal Power e-course that starts tomorrow, I have had this consistent question come up for myself and my clients over and over again. And if you know me, you know that when I see a theme appear, I take notice.

The theme this time boils down to one question: “What do YOU want?”

It seems like a simple enough question, but when was the last time you asked yourself that? It seems we are far more tapped into what we think we need as opposed to what we want in life. Add to that questions like: What do you want…to feel, to see, to experience, to be, etc., and the question can get a bit convoluted.

I know on any given day, I am more likely to share with someone what I ‘need’ to get done rather than what I actually need or want for that matter. Ask me what I want and I might be stumped for a moment if I am so far entrenched in my ‘have to’ list.

Why is that?

There seems to be a general perception that giving and doing are far more important than allowing and being. So when we take the time to see what we

really want, it feels foreign and often uncomfortable. It is of course necessary to feel the discomfort in order to move through it and identify what it is we truly want.

The truth is this: You have the ability and power to make your life happy, just as you have the ability and power to make your life less than happy. You can choose to thrive or simply survive. The choice is yours to make. However, if you are merely surviving what life throws your way then you are not really harnessing the unlimited power you have within to make this life amazing and magical. It may be that you don’t have the tools, practices, confidence, or knowledge you need to use that power. And if you fall into that boat then I assure you the Unleash Your Personal Power is the course for you.

This course isn’t just about getting what you want in life, it’s so much more than that. This course will teach you effective and life-changing tools and practices to live the best life possible all the way around. It is being offered by myself and three other talented women who have collectively coached and taught hundreds of people to harness and utilize their own power. If ever you have thought about how to live the best life possible starting now, this course is for you.

This self-paced e-course begins tomorrow and to make it even easier for you to join us, we are offering a payment plan option so it is affordable for everyone. This course is transformational, inspirational, and full of power.

You already have the power within to make your life amazing, we simply want to introduce you to it. Are you ready to join us? If so you can sign-up, learn more about the teachers of the program and try out a free meditation here. Life is far too short to merely survive what life throws at you. This is your chance to thrive!

Intention is Everything

March 21, 2014 by Lamisha

Can I tell you a secret that’s not so secret?

Intention is Everything!

At the beginning of the year I told you I was working on the lovely Leonie Dawson’s Create Your Amazing Year 2014 planner. I completed most of the it for both business and personal life and one of the exercises included making a list of 100 things you want to do for the year. To be honest the task seemed a bit difficult at first because I allowed my logical mind to get in the way, but once I got started I had lots of fun things added. Things like getting a facial, hiking, reading 100 books, writing an e-book, and dancing in the rain. I’m not even sure if I have made it quite to 100 yet as I am still adding to it, but you get the idea.

So, after really focusing on what I wanted to create for 2014 and allowing myself the flow as far as ‘how’ it would show up, I put the planner away and kept moving through every day life. Every now and again I will pick it up and read through it to see if there are any exercises that I still need to complete that call to me. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t, but one day in January I did this and took a look at my 100 things list.

I was astonished!!!

I realized that within the first month of the year without even trying, I had accomplished two things on my list. They weren’t big things like going to Hawaii (which requires a bit of forethought and planning). They were small things that simply happened.

What were they?

One was ice skating with my family and another was to have a game night with the neighbors. Small, but super-fun things that I loved!

Now those two things might seem inconsequential as far as setting an intention, but I must tell you I haven’t been ice-skating in years! And the idea to have a game night with the neighbors came from left field considering we have never done that in the 3 years we have lived here.

All I did was think “hey that would be fun”, and I wrote it down. I set the intention that these were things I wanted to do and by not planning, scheming or figuring out how it was going to happen, I did both of them within a month!

Even with all the evidence I have had over the years, I know better than to question the magical ways of the Universe. But, there was a part of me that thought it was just a small occurrence. That is, until a few weeks later.

I had been putting a lot of time and energy into my business. I booked some new clients and was participating in an e-course and got the idea to create a group coaching model for my clients. This would provide tons of information and insight for people interested in coaching at a much cheaper rate overall in a group setting. Full of inspiration, I reached out to a lovely group of women I met online and asked for volunteers to test my model. The Your Flying Leap test group has been going great and you guessed it the next time I checked in with my planner, I had an entry that read ‘create a group coaching offer’.

Now you could argue that as a business woman I would know all of the things I wanted to do and you would be right to some degree. But, the sheer ease with which it came together based entirely on my inspired thoughts is amazing. I didn’t think about it. I didn’t create the program for 2-3 months before trying it with a test group for free. Nope, I just asked who would be interested and I jumped in. Since then, the pieces have been coming together quite easily. (Note: I will be sharing more information on how you can join this program that begins again in May. Join my VIP list to get the scoop first if you are interested.)

And you know the amazing program I am taking part of called Unleash Your Personal Power? That happened as easily and effortlessly as the others and it too was on my list of 100 things to do. The kicker is I didn’t even reach out to these amazing professionals. I was asked to join this venture seemingly out of the blue and I can’t tell you how much fun it has been to create and what a great time we are having. If you haven’t checked it out, please do! This program is valued at $1000 and we are offering it at a mere $85. And while you can’t really put a price on the life changing tips, tools and information you will learn, this is an incredible offer.

The takeaway from all of this is that when you sent your intention to do something and you just ride the wave of allowing, amazing things happen for you. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to whip out a piece of paper and write your own list of 100 things you want to do this year. Big, small, or medium it doesn’t matter, I assure you that by writing it down and letting it go, the pieces will fall into place in seemingly miraculous ways.

Try it! What do you have to lose?

I hope you have a bit of fun this weekend and find some time to just relax. Self-care is such an important part of life and many of us don’t do it enough! Until next week, thank you for reading and have a lovely weekend.

P.S. If you haven’t signed up for the Creative Chaos call on 3/26 at 12pm EST there is still time to do so. I will be sending out the materials with the call info next week so don’t miss out! It’s totally free. 🙂

Updates, News, & Exciting Opportunities!

March 14, 2014 by Lamisha

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!

Helping You Untangle Your Web of Ideas-Creative Chaos: Free Call

March 10, 2014 by Lamisha

Over the last few weeks I had this insatiable desire to tell anyone and everyone I know to do more of what they love.

In fact, there have been many posts on Facebook and Twitter that might sound a bit bossy, but what I am really feeling is pure passion.

Passion for what?

For you and your gifts and your dreams and your passion and purpose and desires.

Why?

Because I know you can do it.

How do I know?

Because I am doing it and so are thousands of others in the world including some amazing women I am working with currently.

But how can I be so sure when I don’t even know you?

Because I know that if you have a desire and a dream it’s for a reason and that reason is not so you can daydream about it all your life. It’s so you can get out into the world and share your art, songs, message, writing, craft, healing work, energy, and whatever other gifts you have to share.

So what is this?

This is a call to action! Those beautiful, amazing, unique gifts that only you can share with the world because you are the only person on the planet with the view, experience, and past you have…yeah those gifts are meant to be shared.

It’s time to let go of the fear and start doing more of what you love. It doesn’t matter if it is writing, singing, acting, knitting, sewing, stamping, running, teaching, loving, healing, helping, serving, dancing, collecting, volunteering etc.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to do it all or if it is has always been simply a ‘pipe dream’. It’s YOUR dream so it’s real and magnificent and totally possible.

The truth is this: Life is short and as a whole we spend far too much time wishing, wanting, and regretting things that we can do right now.

Lately I have been hearing from readers, clients, and friends that they just have so many ideas they don’t know where to start or how to focus. I completely understand. The creative mind is a beautiful thing, but it has it’s fair share of struggle when you feel paralyzed by all the amazing ideas and dreams you have. It can be hard to focus and take action on any of them!

If you are finding yourself in a state of paralysis and overwhelm because you have so many incredible dreams you want to tackle, I have good news for you.

Later this month I am hosting a FREE call that will help you untangle your web of ideas so you have a bit more clarity and focus to get you moving, creating, and doing more of what you love not when the stars align and everything is perfect, but RIGHT NOW!

I will be sending out the details of the call soon, so make sure you sign up here so you don’t miss a beat. The call will be recorded and sent to those who have signed up along with a free gift and a worksheet of exercises to help you get focused and moving in the right direction. Do you know someone who could benefit from this information? Feel free to forward this post and share it far and wide!

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.
