Your dream life is a mere 3 steps away…

Sound too good to be true?

It’s not.

Take a moment and evaluate your life right now.  Would you say you are living the life of your dreams or do you feel stuck?

Maybe you are like a lot of people and have the dream floating around in your head as an ‘if only’ thought.

But I’m here to tell you it doesn’t have to be that way.  It can be your reality right now.

Here’s how.

Step 1:  Know what you want.  Do you know what your dream life looks like for you?  Have you taken the time to get clear on what you truly want out of life? I’m not talking about what seems realistic or logical.  I’m talking about what you really want.  What gets you excited about life? What lights your fire? What is it that you want out of life?  Is it freedom? A career you are passionate about? Family time? Travel? Writing? What is your dream? Identify that and the rest is easy.

Step 2: Clear the junk.  To live the life of your dreams you have to know without a shadow of a doubt it is possible.  Any thought or belief that contradicts that fact must be cleared.  Any block or barrier in your thoughts about your worthiness or value to live the life you deserve, must be released and getting help identifying your blind spot is more valuable than you know.

Step 3: Listen with your heart and take inspired action. There is no doubt you have to take action to move along your path, but the key is allowing your intuition and inspiration to guide you.  This isn’t about setting the most logical plan of action.  This is about getting out of your head and into your heart and allowing that to be your guide which isn’t always easy.  Following the logical steps or trying to outline your entire journey will result in the blood, sweat, and tears kind of hard work we have been taught.  But the heart path feels effortless and almost too easy.  It’s fun, inspiring, and will lead to more expansion and growth than you have ever known.

Here’s my challenge to you today.  Look at the steps and see where you are, but better yet, what you are going to do about it.

If you aren’t living the life of your dreams it is likely because you are stuck in one of the 3 steps and it really doesn’t matter where you are stuck as much as much as it matters what you are going to do about it.

Don’t know what you want? I can help.

Got some junk to clear? I can help.

Need to learn the inspired way? I can help with that too.

If you are ready to drop the excuses so you can live the amazing life you were made for, do yourself a favor and invest in yourself.

So? What are you going to do?

I have a few spots left in my 3-Month Program and in my Blind Spot Discovery Sessions so if you want in, now is the time!

Announcing: Resolution Refresh, A 7-Day Challenge

by

b e a c h  p a r t y(1)

Oh my, time flies when you’re having fun huh?  It’s September already and I’m curious how many of you have actually looked at your New Years Resolutions/Intentions since say February or March?

If you are like many people, you probably haven’t taken a proper look to see where you stand as far as your goals are concerned.  Today I am inviting you to take a look and see how far you have come.

I’ll wait….

You’re back? Awesome! So, how did it go?

Were you surprised to find a few of your items ticked of your list?  (Congrats!)

How about the items you haven’t gotten to yet?  If you are like most people the things that are still unfinished are likely outweighing the things that you have accomplished from your list.  That’s totally normal.

Don’t panic, I know we only have 4 months left in the year, but that is a TON of time to make some major progress on the things that are truly aligned with what you want and who you are.

And lucky for you aside from being the Blind Spot Expert, I am also really action-oriented and pretty kick-ass with accountability (if I do say so myself.)

So, here’s the deal.  I have created a 7-Day Challenge to help get your rear in gear.  And I know you have seen a million ‘challenges’ where you get emails everyday with action items and at about day 3 you begin deleting the emails.  (I have done the same thing.) But, this challenge is a bit different.

While I will be sending you emails everyday with action items, each email is meant to help you really determine what is most important to you and to guide you to the next step using the very powerful and amazing wisdom within…your intuition.

So, in reality this is more than just a ‘get shit done’ kind of challenge.  It’s all about alignment, listening, releasing, and taking the next step to make magical things happen in your life…by the end of the year.

Sound good?

The challenge officially begins September 8th, however registration will remain open until September 15th for those of you who decide to hop on the Resolution Refresh train a bit later.

And since you will be so graciously allowing me into your very sacred mailbox, I promise to keep the emails short, sweet, and to the point so you can get to the very powerful action items easily. Deal?

Sign-up for the Resolution Refresh Challenge and watch the rest of your year transform in some truly amazing ways.

I want you to know that I am doing this challenge along with you and will be sharing my insights on Facebook and Twitter and I encourage you to join me using #ResolutionRefresh so we can keep up with your amazing progress.  I am super excited to dig into my 2014 goals to see how far I have come and to realign my inentions for the rest of the year.

Let’s end the year with a bang shall we?

Big love to you all!

Always A Writer

For as long as I can remember, I have always felt the pull to write.  Keeping a journal of my feelings was my way of processing life and everything that happened in it.  Relationships, friendships, new love, you name it, I wrote about it.  I even took some time in college to try my hand at writing fiction in a creative writing class that I loved.  Starting a blog seemed like the next logical step.  So, when Tamsin Young contacted me to be a part of the Blog Hop, I was so excited to share a bit about my writing and my writing process.  In return, I have asked a few of my favorite bloggers to join in the journey to share information about their writing process.

What am I working on/writing?

Life Once Dreamt began as an inspirational blog to encourage and enlighten women to follow their dreams.  I started it during a time when I was trying to figure out the ‘how’ behind doing what I really wanted to do which was to coach other women to greatness.  It was my way of tapping into my creativity, doing something I love, while figuring out my path.  As it turns out within about 6 months of writing and sharing my words of wisdom and inspiration, I realized I had the ‘how’ all along. All I had to do was begin, in the same way I did with this blog.

I use this space now to share my lessons, insights, and tips on creating an amazing life.  The life you were meant to live doing amazing things and sharing your gifts with the world.  That is my message and this blog is just another way for me to share my journey, my expertise, and my passion with the gorgeous souls that choose to read it.

How does my work/writing differ from others of its genre?

My work is an expression of my soul and my journey.  While many of the themes may not be ground-breaking or new, my experience and therefore my words appeal to those that are in similar places in their lives.  I consider myself a bridge of sorts between worlds.  Being in the process of creating the life of my dreams, I remember what it is like to dream big while waiting for the ‘how’ to show up.  I am forever learning and I am not afraid to share my lessons with my tribe.  I am nothing if not authentic and am happy to let my readers know that they are not alone in this world.  We all have dreams, goals, and aspirations that at times feel as though they are just outside our reach.  But I also know that it is possible to reach outside of your comfort zone, to believe you can, and prove it to yourself.  The Universe is here to support us and give us what we want.  I like to think of my writing and coaching methods as a mixture of magic, imagination, with a dose of practicality.

Why do I write what I do?

That’s an interesting question.  I suppose I write what I do because it’s part of me.  Inspiration, uplifting quotes, messages, and affirmations have been a part of my life for years.  (Fun Fact: I even turned some of my poetry into greeting cards that have been published in the last few years to uplift and enlighten people with my words.)

I see magic where others see demise.  I see miracles and possibilities where others see blockages and I write about it.  I share my message in that way because I want everyone to know that no matter what has happened in their past or present, they have the ability to create an amazing and bright future.  The dreams they hold dear are meant to be part of their experience and if my words can help them find the hope, faith, and possibility where there was once doubt, then I am happy to continue to write.

How does my writing process work?

Another interesting question.  I suppose it depends on what I am writing.  When I am working on a blog post or a newsletter for my business, I usually have a title come to mind or a specific experience I want to share.  I don’t do well with outlines and structuring what I want to write before hand and I don’t really have a ritual to get me in the flow.  There are times when I need to write something under a deadline that I will meditate before in order to clear my mind and create the mental space for the words to flow.

When I am writing poetry or more inspiring posts, I write from the heart.  With love, emotion, inspiration, and lots of feelings.  I often find when I write in that way, I am not entirely aware of what I am saying as much as I feel like the message is passing through me.  It sounds a bit odd, but there are many times that I have looked back at pieces I have written and thought to myself: “Wait are those my words? Hey that’s some good stuff!” Those are some of my favorite moments.  I have written for so long that I have come to realize, I may not be able to get the entire piece out in one sitting.  Sometimes my mind is a bit too jumbled to write anything of value and if I can take a step back, it makes things easier when I come back to it later.  Like many of the things I do in life, my writing is best when it is guided by my inspiration.

Getting Back to Basics

by

I recently realized how I have been distracted by all the shiny new programs, coaches, gurus, and the like lately.  It was a nice reminder to get back to basics in my business.  Today I share with you what that means and invite you to look at your own life to see where you might be able to get back to basics.

It’s Time To Come Clean…

by

Vortex-ClarityI seem to be in the remedial school of life these days, learning and re-learning lessons that I thought I had mastered long ago (ok well some of them might be a few months old, but who’s counting?).  Last week I was going through a particularly emotional lesson and now I have reached the sunrise or clarity portion of that lesson.

Here’s what I have learned.

  • I have the POWER to create the life and reality of my dreams.  I believe in that so much that I built a business around this exact idea.  In fact it’s not an idea, but instead a truth.  A truth that applies to you too.  YOU have the power to create whatever it is you want.  You just have to decide what you want, hold the intention, and take inspired action.
  • I may not have the skills and connection that others have, but that does not discount my abilities to do the work I love.  I have unique abilities that allow me to connect to and with the exact people I should be connecting with.  Our differences are beautiful and our gifts are unique.  It’s what makes this world amazing.  And being my true authentic self is the best (and truly the only) way to serve my clients.  This article shares my lesson on being the authentic expert.
  • The intuitive guidance that led me to my business was not wrong and it is the same intuitive guidance that I have been discounting for the past few months.  Sure, there are many things I still need to learn, but if something doesn’t sit right with me intuitively, it’s not for me.  I’m ok with that and you should be too.
  • I am surrounded by amazingly talented women who are doing incredible things in the world.  I support them, uplift them, and celebrate their magnificence and I know that their brilliance has no effect on what I am doing or not doing.  Their success doesn’t cause my demise and vice versa.  We are connected. Period.  And the success of one creates a vortex of power for others.
  • When I am in my power, standing in my truth, and sharing who I really am, I have more of an impact on those around me.  This post is a perfect example of how passion, purpose, and authenticity can come together to create an amazing inspirational energy that can’t be denied.
  • I also know that this very moment with all of its lessons is completely perfect.  I am living the life of my dreams and everyday I am closer to more expansion, creation, and success.  The key to all of that is inspired action.  And the inspiration behind the action comes from intuition.  You have it too, so stand in that power and trust your gut to tell you who to hire, what to do, and where to go.
  • Last but not least, I am uncovering more and more of who I really am which is allowing me to reach more women, inspire change, and support the dreams of others.  This life of mine is amazing! Not because of money, numbers, or crazy success.  Not at all.  It’s amazing because I am doing what I love, making a difference, and learning lessons along the way.

Should you find yourself going through lessons you thought you learned, never fear.  A perfect life is not without lessons.   A ‘perfect’ life is the life you are living right now with lessons, love, connection, dreams, and a lot of growth. 

If you are ready to step into your power to create the amazing life or business of your dreams, now is the time to follow your calling.  I have opened up a few spots for my 1-Month Jump Start program for July 2014 that will get you moving in 30 days or less. 4 sessions in 4 weeks = major progress.  This offer expires June 30th so if you want in on this incredibly affordable and powerful opportunity, you can sign up here.
