Astrid Fleming is a DARING dreamer.  She came to a Dream Mapping and Goal Setting workshop in 2007 and this year she has just launched her first novel called “White Nights” which is a dream come true for her!

Here’s an email she sent through to me…

Most gorgeous Donna,

Thank you sooooooooooo much for your divine support! You are such a darling. You’re absolutely right, this is a HUGE dream!  It’s amazing how one gets derailed by life, corporates and everything in between and then the universe gives you a massive shove (I suspect much like your epiphany on the bus, though mine happened on a yoga mat!) and you end up in exactly the right place!

And then the universe supports you! Exclusive Books has been wonderful, completely supportive and very enthusiastic. They’ve come up with ideas, suggestions and are stocking more copies of the book than I could possibly dream. Thank you so much for putting the story of the novel in your newsletter! I can’t thank you enough! My obscenely marvellous goal for this year (and yes, it makes me tremble with the audacity of it!) is to get White Knights picked up by an international publisher, launched internationally, and to land a major 2 book deal… so that I can focus entirely on the next novel which is hovering in my dreams. I tremble with the excitement of it! Grin grin grin.

Sending loads of love,
A

And I was fortunate to attend her recent book launch and this is what she had to say

A little about the book of course….

White Knights tells the tale of Emma Cooper, an ambitious young investment banker who leaves her family in London and her long-time love in Africa to make her millions on Wall Street. There she finds that corporate finance is far less glamorous, and the Big Apple far more rotten, than she ever expected.

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.

Outcomes

By the end of the workshop you will

• Have clarity, focus, direction and tangible tools to use to create a life you love
• Be clear on a future direction for your life
• Have given yourself time to relax and play
• Have made a Dream Collage to take home to remind you of what you want
• Have given yourself time for you
• You will have a Big Goal to inspire you
• Find a renewed zest and energy for life
• Have practical tools to use in your day-to-day life to turn your dreams into reality

“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!”

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

“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.”

Bev Doyle – Johannesburg, South Africa

One of my first ever Fairy Godmothering duties was to help an actor who wanted to become a World Famous Stand-up Comedian. The job was to wand-wave and to kick-start him on the path to his dreams.

That was a few years ago and over a number of delicious burgers at Royale in Cape Town, with many scribbles on sheets of paper and a whole lot of wand-whacking to get him into action, Nik Rabinowitz took the super courageous step of putting on his first one man show called “One Man, One Goat”. The show was very well received in the original little theatre space that he used in Obz cafe. And as his courage grew and he took more action and his popularity grew too (funny how action tends to yield results!). And I flushed all over with Fairy Godmother pride when earlier this year I sat with 200 other people and watched Nik do his one man show in Jo’burg, which he packed out every night for a month!

And now Nik is back with a new show and is truly living his dreams

For those dreamers who are in Cape Town, go and watch the show and support Nik as he dares to live his dreams. Of course, he will keep you in stiches in the process…

I am committed to people creating and living EXTRAORDINARY lives that they love and the Dream Mapping and Goal Setting Workshop has been a HUGE catalyst for a number of people. However, I can see in my own life how easy it is to revert to old patterns and behaviours and to sometimes lose that inspiration and motivation.

Do you feel the same way?

So do you feel like you need a ‘kick-start’ for your dreams and to keep the inspiration?

So to ensure that 2008 is the year that you stay ‘on-track’ to living your dreams, this year we are going to be holding a POSSIBILITY EVENING every month in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

So what’s a Possibility Evening?

It is all about keeping you connected to the possibility of your WIG (Wildly Improbable Goal) and Big Juicy Dreams and to help you to create a life you love. [Read more →]
