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

But not sure how to?

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

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

“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 everything”

“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 crystalising 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

In the last few years everyone has been jumping up and down about the Law of Attraction and how you can just ‘imagine’ things and your thoughts will be like ‘a magnet that just attracts things to you’.  Well, it doesn’t work quite that simply.  Just thinking about a beautiful red Ferrari and imagining driving one is not going to cause that Ferrari to be parked in your driveway when you wake up tomorrow morning.
You don’t just instantly start attracting like a Master Manifester – there are 3 stages:

ACTION

TRACTION

ATTRACTION

In stage 1 – the Action phase – it is about ‘showing up’ and just taking the small steps in the manifesting process.

The manifesting process is

1.    Ask  - get clear on what you want and ask for it by writing it down, saying it out loud and visualising it.

2.    Receive “Answers” – which will come as people, opportunities and things or inspired thought.

3.    Take Aggressive Action – just DO it!  Take action on any “answers” you receive.

Imagine taking one small action daily towards your Big Dream/ WIG (Wildly Improbable Goal).
What would that look like after 6 months?
It would cumulatively be 180 actions which suddenly turn into something significant!

If you are able to conquer your fears and any  ‘stuckness’ you experience (and we ALL experience these, even Fairy Godmothers) and keep taking those small actions you will be amazed at how, after a while, you move into the TRACTION stage.  This is where the rubber hits the road and it feels like a lot less effort and it is easier to spot (and overcome) your fears and you begin to move into the momentum of your Big Dream and goals.

It’s like pushing a massive boulder along a dirt road. In the beginning you have to exert lots of effort into pushing the boulder –  using your arms, shoulders, legs.  It may make you sweat and breathe hard and at this stage it is easy to give-up and say “hey this boulder isn’t going anywhere”.  But if you keep your focus, attention and effort on the boulder it will slowly start to rock and move and overcome its inertia and, after it does a few rolls down the road, it becomes easier to push and you exert less effort.  This is TRACTION.

After a while, if you CONTINUE to take ACTION (and push the boulder) during the TRACTION stage, you will move into ATTRACTION.   ATTRACTION is where you literally move into the ‘slipstream’ of your dream or goal and it starts to carry and move you, rather than the other way round.

Look at the “Extraordinaries” like Richard Branson, Mandela and Oprah – they are so in their ‘slipstream’, ease and flow of ATTRACTION that everything comes to them.  Do their lives look easy, effortless and fun?  Of course!  But was it always like that for them?  NO!  They also had to go through the ACTION and TRACTION phases.  They are Extraordinary simply because they went through these phases.  Most people give up in phase 1 because it is just way too much effort to continually conquer your fears and grow yourself so that you can be at the same expanded level as your Wildly Improbable Goal.

How do I know all this? Because I am having the experience of it.  When I first became a Fairy Godmother there was LOADS of fear and I had to just chip away at taking ACTION whenever I received answers – and often I took loads of ACTION even though there were no answers which, after a ,while I realised was a completely fruitless exercise driven out of fear.

Then in 2008 (2 years after I started… it may only take you a few months) I moved into the TRACTION phase where it felt like the action to keep things moving and growing somehow became much easier.   It was like some momentum of its own was beginning to carry me and then, in November 2008 I moved into the ATTRACTION phase.   The switch to moving into ATTRACTION was that I gave up resisting and ‘trying’ and, instead, moved into a space of simply ‘allowing’ whatever was needed to happen.    And, then, guess what?  In 2009 I got so caught up in “trying” and “pushing” again that I slipped out of ATTRACTION and back into TRACTION and over the last 18 months I have see-sawed between the TRACTION and ATTRACTION phases.

The key levers that shift me from TRACTION in ATTRACTION are

1.    Being grateful
2.    Finding the joy in each moment
3.    Letting go and trusting life
4.    Having fun, playing to my strengths and doing what I love.

I know I am in the ATTRACTION phase when everything feels effortless – this is also called FLOW.
In this space,  simply with clear intention things are attracted.  When I slip back into fear and scarcity-thinking then I go back to TRACTION and pushing the boulder… but it is all a journey and a process.

So the moral of the story is – when you get the “answers” in line with your dreams and goals just keep taking the actions even though, at the time, it feels like very small steps.

Dear Fairy Godmother

Can’t believe I am writing to you, but at this stage I really don’t care!

We have been married for 8 years.  I have an amazing husband that loves me very much as much I love him.  We have been trying to fall pregnant for 7 years.  We did one invitro but it did not work.  We don’t have a lot of money and need to save to go again for the next invitro!  This will take about 2 years!  We would love to have a baby and we will be good parents!  We don’t know where to start to adopt a baby and don’t know if we want to.  I really want to be pregnant, I want to have a belly, I want to have morning sickness and everything that comes with pregnancies.

Can’t explain how difficult it is to face all my friends and family over birthdays and holidays and seeing all the kids!  It breaks my heart.  My husband will be an amazing father and I just want to give him a baby girl.  I will be turning 37 this year, so each year we wait or try it gets more difficult.

I actually don’t know why I am writing to you; maybe you can sprinkle some of your fairy dust over us!  You do amazing work, making people happy and helping them achieving their dreams, keep it up!

Thanks, I do actually feel better writing this!

Love

Hi Daring Dreamer

Thank you so much for your email.  My apologies for taking so long to respond, I have been in a swirling whirl of magic-making which is great fun but email answering tends to go awry!

Here’s a little story about a woman in Cape Town who also desperately wanted kids … she attended my first ever Dream Mapping and Goal Setting workshop in Cape Town and her dream was to have a family.  6 months after the workshop (through invitro) she was pregnant with twins… she had previously had 2 other invitro treatments that hadn’t taken.  Was it the workshop that helped her? Perhaps… was it the invitro – perhaps… was it a combination of the two – I would like to think so, but who knows?

When it comes to the grandest of creations that human beings can create – it is VERY difficult to dictate to God/ the Universe/ Life – how you want it to work.

In fact on ANYTHING you can never dictate/ control how it is going to work/ happen.

My advice to you is “let go of the attachment” to having children… at the moment you want it SO badly and are gripping onto it so tightly… that you aren’t giving the incredible energy of  life the ability to allow it to happen.   Your email is filled with a sense of this ‘desperation’ of wanting it to happen and the emotion that this generates is – “I don’t have it”/ “Something is missing” and this emotion comes from a place of fear and scarcity…. and from an ‘attraction’ perspective in life, we attract the same ‘emotions’ that we give out….
Eg. If you are sending out desperation… what you get back is more desperation!

If you are sending out faith and calm – you get more faith and calm… which is the perfect baby-making emotion.  In fact it is the perfect emotion for any type of creation – whether it is making babies or starting a business.
I urge you to let go of the attachment (easier said than done) and move into a place of faith and ‘knowing’ – that you and your husband are the most incredible parents with a beautiful child.

If you would like to learn some tools that you can apply into your life to help you to do this, please join me for one of our Dream Mapping and Goal Setting workshops – I think it may really help.  I am not sure where in the country you are… but I have workshops now scheduled for Jo’burg and Cape Town.

Thank you again for being brave enough to email me… asking for help is always a good start!

Wishes and Magic
Donna
P.S. Serendipity!

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!

Welcome to a PHENOMAL year ahead!

Do you feel a sense of fresh newness?

The amazing expansive and refreshing sense that ANYTHING is possible?
The feeling that the slate has been wiped clean and you can create wonderful things this year and really create the life you love?

It is a human trait to start a new year off with the emotions of possibility, inspiration and fresh energy.  As the clock ticked over from 31 December into 1 January 2010 it is as if a switch was flicked and it brang a new zest for life.

Have you ever experienced that by March or April your energy has waned, the feeling of extraordinary possibility has dwindled and you are back in the normal hum-drum of everyday life?  By the middle of the year it feels like this year may not be so different after all and by October you can’t wait for those holidays and for the start of the next year. Sound familiar?

To make 2010 a different experience where you create a marvellous year ahead, I have a Fairy Godmother gift to you.  A free 21 minute Audio Download on how to create 2010 to be your best year yet!

Free Audio Download

For those of you in Johannesburg – join me for a 2 hour Possibility Evening on Monday 18th January from 19h30 -21h30 in Rivonia for a 2 hour session where I will lead you through the process of creating your Intentions and Goals for 2010.   To book email: info@fairygodmotherinc.com or for  More Info

The power of dreams and goals to create your life is immense… so whatever you do, make sure you write down your goals for 2010 and keep focusing on them.

Wishing you a SUPER DUPER 2010!
