I am very excited that I will be speaking at the “Find your Inspiration Day” on Saturday 6 March – hosted by Old Mutual and InspiringWomen.co.za.    I will be speaking on the Power of Dreams and Goals and will also be there to answer questions, sign books and generally do some mischievious magic-making.

Last year I did the same in Cape Town – it was a fabulous, inspiring and uplifiting event with speakers, fashion shows and exhibitors – watch the video below to see

Would love to see you there on Saturday 6 March

Those of you who are members of the Fairy Godmother Community can receive FREE tickets (worth R 150) to this event!

One of my key intentions for 2010 is…

“to live and act out of a place of faith rather than fear”

In January this was hard, but at the end of January some magic and miracles occurred in my life that have now shifted me into a place deep faith.  It is a feeling of trusting that life is on my side and having the courage to believe that EVERYTHING (and I mean everything) that happens serves my life for the best.

I am finding that as I act out of this place of faith my life becomes magical, playful and fun…. Wheeeeuw!  How refreshing!

Read here about how to overcome your fears

So I urge you to use this last week in February to develop your faith – and I don’t mean only religion – I mean the simple belief, trust and knowing that everything is going to be okay.

Have faith!

Jenny Borges, who calls herself a Foreign Diva did the Dream Mapping and Goal Setting Workshop in Hamburg, Germany in 2007.

Her big dream?  To become a renowned stylist for celebrities.

She did the 12 Week Growing Wings program in 2009 and I am pleased to announce that she has just been featured in Red Magazine in the UK as an expert stylist.   Yiiiipppppeeeeeeeee!!!

Well done Jenny!

Keep dreaming BIG and  following your dreams and you WILL achieve success!

Want to live your dream life and do what you love?

Do you know what that looks like or how to make it happen for yourself?

Just think: When you are driving, you know where you want to go and you plot out your route. When you plan and prepare a meal, you follow a recipe and monitor the food as it cooks. How much attention do you give to planning the direction of your life?

Set up your life powerfully by spending a full day on a Dream Mapping and Goal Setting Workshop to get clear on your dreams, ‘map-out’ your goals and focus on the direction for your life. Take the time for YOU – to review your life, re-evaluate what you are doing and where you want to go. To ensure you are on track for what you most want.

During this fun full-day workshop you will…

1. Create a Vision Board (Dream Map)

2. Come up with a WIG (Wildly Improbable Goal) that inspires you

3. Learn tools for creating through the mind and manifesting

4. Learn how to overcome your fears

5. Build a Supporting Cast – to support your success

Dear Donna,

I need to thank you for changing the direction of my life in a new and wonderful direction. Yesterday was a wonderful experience and the best investment I have made in myself ever.

The good news is that my husband is actually going to support me in realizing my dreams.  I have told the ladies in my office about you and they are keen to attend the next workshop in Durban.

Please keep me informed and thank you once again for every thing

“Powerful, touching, clear, playful, truthful.”
Ercan Altub – Hamburg, Germany

“My relationships at work have changed already; I am so much more positive and compassionate, and meetings that used to be dreadful to me have actually been quite inspiring and energising. Also, in my morning visioning exercise I am on a TV show – and guess what, a producer from Free Spirit is seeing me on Tuesday!”

Shakti Malan, Cape Town, South Africa

“Exceptional! I had fears to come along because I did not want to have an afternoon of esoteric talk which I couldn’t draw real possibilities from. The positivity emanating from Donna and the group was amazing. I genuinely know this course will help me to accept ‘the flow of life’ and stop feeling inadequate and unfulfilled.”

Mandy La Grange – London, United Kingdom

What is Dream Mapping and Goal Setting?

Dream Mapping is a process to help you get clear on what you want in your life, or in a specific aspect of your life and then to set BIG goals to help you achieve those dreams.
During this experiential workshop we will go through a series of exercises to assist you in realizing and crystallising your dreams for yourself and your life. The workshop will include relaxation, mind and dream theory, creating your own dream collage, and then basic tools to use on a day-to-day basis for manifesting your dreams.
You will relax, cut & paste, have fun & get in touch with the dreams that linger in your soul!

“An amazing workshop. You have really touched lives and truly are a fairy godmother. I have been on a number of self development courses and yours is among the best.”

Deelesh Ravjee – Johannesburg, South Africa

“For the first time in my life I have a dream I can see and feel and touch and have the tools to achieve it.”

Recently at a Possibility Evening a participant shared this story, which I LOVE!

She was in Kenya and was fascinated by the behaviour of the Masai warriors – those tall, thin, regal tribes people.

One of the things that she noticed is that after running or walking for a distance, they come to a place of rest and simply stand in still centeredness in their natural environment for a period of time – seemingly doing nothing.  After observing this behaviour many times she managed to converse with one of the Masai and asked him why they do this.  The answer…

“at times we need to stand still to allow our souls to catch-up with us.”

What a beautiful and magnificent lesson for us all in this frenetic, crazy, busy world that we find ourselves in.

In my book, “The Fairy Godmother’s Guide to Getting What you Want”, I write about the importance of aligning body, mind and soul to form a solid foundation to be able to create and manifest what you want.  The soul connection is a vital component to living a fulfilled life.

Like the Masai, at times you too need to stand in stillness, centeredness and doing nothing – because it is during those times that you will feel your soul catching up and returning to you.

So during this week carve out some “Masai” time for yourself and watch as the beauty and fullness of life returns.

Dear Fairy Godmother

I don’t know whether you have seen the Hansa advert – Vuyo Wors.  I just love it!!!

For me, it is just such a stunning illustration of being clear on your dreams and goals and visualisation.   Below is the full version if you’d like to see it.  Watch the detail, from the merchandising to TV talk shows, scenes in Japan, his aircraft Air Wors, his boat, flight to the moon a la Mark Shuttleworth … I’ve seen it a thousand times and always watch it when it comes on.  I find it totalling amusing.  Delightful!

Just like you taught us in the Dream Mapping and Goal Setting workshop!  I only started noticing this ad when I started my visualisations and creating Future Imagined Memories.  Wish I’d made them as colourful, big and out of the ordinary!!
