How Do We Make Our Dreams Come True?

It’s June 8th, almost midway through the year and for me it feels like a nice time to eddy out and take a breather, reflecting on where I am and how things are going for me this year.

At the beginning of the year, I did my usual annual corporate retreat (me, Dazzle and Poda dreaming into the future together) and took some time to clarify my intentions for this year. (No, at the time, they did not include freaking out for the month of May!)

I created a Life Map that illustrated my dream of leading retreats locally, nationally, and internationally as well as my desire to keep coaching and offering readings for people and animals. I also included my desire to step into my role as an author more fully and start making money that way.

Here’s how things are panning out:

RETREATS:I led a Spiritual Business Visioning Retreat in January, I”m co-leading the Sacred Sound Healing Retreat for Healers in Mt. Shasta in August, co-leading a Dolphin Light Healing Retreat on a sailboat in the Bahamas in November, and, of course, I’m leading my Elephant Blessing Retreat to Thailand in January. Local, National and International Retreats: CHECK!

BOOKS: In January, I started collaborating with Nina Huang on our spiritual children’s picture book When You Were Part of the Sky. In March, I met with my writing coach and outlined not one but two memoirs and I am starting to dive deeper into the first in line. This week, I start working on my first Kindle book Diving Beings – The Spiritual Lives and Lessons of Animals with an online writing and publishing workshop called Soul Writers. Stepping up as an Author: CHECK!

It sounds easy, listed this way, but I’ve had moments of serious doubt and discouragement in the past 6 months and when I did, I used my Spiritual Psychology skills to ‘Work My Process’ and heal the underlying hurts and misunderstandings that were subconsciously holding me back. That always allowed me to start taking steps forward toward one or all of these fantastic endeavors.

So, this is how I make my dreams come true: dream them, clear my blocks and take action – just that next step – toward realizing them. I hold the vision loosely but I don’t let go and I let the Universe work out the details of how it will all unfold.

Just like the song by 38 Special from my youth.
