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.

“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.”

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!

 Have you ever sat on a beach and watched surfers frolicking in the waves?

The effortless beauty of surfers mesmerizes me and I can watch them for hours.

Watching surfers will teach you a huge amount about “being in the flow of life” and about how to manifest your dreams and goals effortlessly (or at least make it look effortless from the shoreline.)

“Go with the flow, dude,” is typical surfer lingo and may be construed to be a little silly or naïve but it is the KEY truth in living an effortless life.

Life works in cycles and patterns and what connects one event to the next in these cycles is energy FLOW. Consider the seasons; night and day; birth and death – these are cycles.  Consider the patterns in nature, your fingerprint, in your body, in your behaviour, in music, in the universe – these beautiful patterns that mathematics is able to eloquently capture as numbers.

And between these cycles and patterns there is flow.  Flow is the way that energy moves between these cycles and patterns.

I recently received an email from one of the Daring Dreamers who has done one of the Dream Mapping and Goal Setting Workshops.  She has a very intersting question, which may unlock something for you in your own life….

Donna, there’s something I’d like to ask you about that we didn’t discuss about manifesting your dreams and goals. Sometimes the way we feel about ourselves prevents us from achieving our dreams. For example, we may want to be rich and famous (sorry, very obvious example!), but inside don’t feel as though we deserve that fame or wealth, or both, and so keep sabotaging that dream, no matter how many affirmations or visualisations we do. What would be the way around this? How would you suggest someone deals with this?
And how do you find out what your core belief about your dream may be?

As a Fairy Godmother I am continuously on the look out for tools and resources – like books, seminars, people, teachings – that will help me and you improve our ability to live our dreams and create and manifest our lives.

Well about 10 days ago I got the must delicious dose of inspiration from the BAREFOOT DOCTOR and WOW, the tips that he prescribed have already made such a marked impact on my life in the last 10 days!

Stephen Russell aka The Barefoot Doctor is one of my favourite teachers and I first chanced upon him when I read the Handbook for Heroes – which I loved.  It is filled with wise advise about how to attract fame and fortune into your life.

As part of my own commitment to my constant learning and growth, I subscribe to a weekly Webinar (web seminar) by a great guy called Damien Senn – which is called People You Should Meet and once a week he interviews amazing people who are great teachers in their specific field.  He interviewed the Barefoot Doctor a few weeks ago and in this interview with him, he discusses how to “Reveal the Pure You”

- How to embark upon a personal journey of discovery to connect with the Pure Essence of who you truly are.

- How to cultivate the confidence to stand up to those close to you who may not want you change.

- How to accelerate your manifesting ability by aligning your desires with your soul using an ancient Taoist manifesting system.

The Barefoot Doctor gives such wonderful advice on how to find the Authenticity in your life and one profound principle that he shared has changed my perception of being in my body and my experience of physically being in the world.

This is one of the most powerful talks I have ever listened to and for some real magic, I urge you to listen to it too.

If you have had a conversation with me in the last few months you may have heard me say “I’m manifesting a winter lover”. I could imagine nothing nicer than a warm body to cuddle up next to during this big FREEZE rather than my current bedtime companion – the hot water bottle.

As a Fairy Godmother, I teach people about how to create and manifest what they want in their lives. In my life, I put my teaching into practice and have managed to attract the most amazing opportunities, people, work, travel and fun. Yet, in the area of my winter lover, despite getting clear on what I wanted, doing my VAKGO visioning every morning for a month, telling people about it, it is now 4 months later and…. NOTHING!

Even though I know better, I have been stamping my foot impatiently and in the last month have been starting to demand at the universe “where is my god damn winter lover that I have been asking for?”

Then I met my friend Simon last week and he shared about how he was inspired about my idea of a winter lover when he heard it about month ago. He then gleefully and blissfully told me that he has since manifested a sexy, French winter lover who actually leaves to go to India in 3 months – so she really is just a winter lover.

WHAT?!!!!

I have been asking for FOUR months and yet Simon manifests his lover in a matter of weeks?

I was seriously starting to question my Fairy Godmother manifesting abilities, but then as he described his manifestation of his lover, the lesson hit me like a thunderbolt from the blue –

You see, Simon decided he wanted a winter lover, he got clear on what he was looking for and then he did something about it. Firstly, he put an advert on the Gumtree saying he was looking for a winter lover, he then signed up to a dating website, he went on a few dates and he went up to a few interesting girls and asked them for their numbers. And….. Voila! After 3 weeks of setting his intention, Simon has a gorgeous winter lover who he is having loads of fun with.

The lesson is, if you want to manifest something in reality you have to TAKE ACTION!

I, on the other hand, have been all visioning and talk and NO ACTION and the RESULT = NO WINTER LOVER.

If I look back at the last 4 months, the universe has sent me lots of “answers” to my asking and opportunities to take action and yet I have conveniently ignored my part of the manifesting process.

Opportunity number 1:

Within a week of me getting clear and starting to vision a winter lover, my friend Grant, told me he had the perfect book for me and a week later he placed it in my hands.

It is called “The Program – how to find a husband after 30” and when I read the title I thought “I’m not looking for a husband, merely a lover” and since then the book has been gathering dust. Who knows what pearls of wisdom could be hidden in that book that could have helped me manifest a warm, bedtime buddy?

Opportunity number 2:

Another helpful friend, Michelle, suggested Internet Dating and even gave me the Dating Buzz URL and 3 good reasons why I should do it. Despite me nodding in agreement, my inner voice made up some excuse about “not having time” and the result…. Well, Michelle has found her winter lover. She scores 1 and I score 0.

A Myriad of Opportunities

In hindsight, as I look back over the last 4 months I can see that the Universe has been sending me opportunity after opportunity to take some action which will enable me to realize my dream and yet I have embarrassingly done NOTHING about it.

And it has taken me four months to actually realize that even though I have been speaking about it, I have been DOING nothing about it.

Creation happens first in thought, then in speaking and then through action.

So if you are stuck with a dream or goal that you want to turn into reality then ask yourself

Are you taking Action?

My action is that I have just joined Dating Buzz…. despite my little inner voice being negative about online dating. Who knows what other opportunities it may bring?

Watch this space!

 The Athabasca Glacier is a frozen cascade of blue-tinged ice that has formed over thousands of years. It meanders between dramatically carved mountains and as it recedes and melts, the waters wash into the river ways of Northern Canada.   Today I stood on this shelf of 100 meters of compacted ice. As I surveyed the majesty of the snow-capped mountain peaks, I was conscious that there was over a thousand years of creation under my feet.  This glacier has inch by inch carved the magnificent mountains and valleys and fed the rivers for millennia. 

And as I stood there, I realized that there was a fundamental lesson being whispered to me by Mother Nature about creating and manifesting.   The lesson was encapsulated in the layers of compacted ice –

Grand creation takes time and nature has infinite patience.

In our current era we live in the “microwave culture”.  In our generation we are used to things happening quickly – Pop your dinner in the microwave and PING, two minutes later your meal is ready to eat.  One hundred years ago this meal would have taken most of the day to prepare and 50 years ago it may have taken an hour or two but in this age – PING, two minutes and it’s ready!  We have learned and been conditioned to expect immediate satisfaction.

As a Fairy Godmother I work with hundreds of people to make their dreams come true and this is one of the problems that comes up when people start manifesting their dreams – they want the “microwave” version of manifesting; the quick fix, “please-wave- your-wand-and-make-it-appear” variety of dream making.

What they sometimes forget is that in the process of creation and particularly creating out into reality that an important variable in the creation process is TIME!  When you first create your dreams or vision in your mind’s eye time is not a factor.  This part of the creation process is like planting a seed in the universal soil.  For this part of the manifesting process time does not exist – in the spiritual or universal realm there is no past or future there is only now.  It is when we are having this human experience that the construct of time exists – because the mind needs time to make sense of life.   Thus, time is needed for creation into the reality in which we live.  Time is needed for the tree to grow, the dream to hatch, for the glacier to carve the mountains and leave behind spectacular natural beauty.

“But how much time?” is a question I am often asked.  “Once I am clear on my dreams and goals; once I start visioning them in my mind’s eye;   how much time will it take for them to become reality?”

This is a difficult question to answer.  If we could understand and practice INFINITE patience then we would experience INSTANTANEOUS creation.
 
Because of our addiction to immediate results, when people who I work with do not experience quick signs of their dreams manifesting, they throw their hands up in despair and give up – “I tried, but it didn’t work” I hear them say.   Trying is not good enough.  A glacier doesn’t try to melt – it melts; a tree doesn’t try to grow – it grows and it knows that the growing takes time.

The key variables in manifesting and turning your dreams into reality are:

• Clarity of Vision
• Focus on the Dream
• Discipline to do the daily visioning
• Courage and Persistence to keep taking the necessary actions
• Passion and Perseverance
• Synchronicity and Serendipity from the Universe
• TIME

In human history, some big dreams have taken decades and some take lifetimes.  True visionaries understand that the majority of their dreams will only be realized beyond their lifetimes and yet nevertheless, everyday they still continue to walk the path to realize those dreams.

So if you have been “stomping your foot” impatiently because your dream or goal isn’t manifesting fast enough.  Take a deep breath, look out of your window at a tree outside and absorb the lesson from Mother Nature. 

Creation requires patience and creation takes time.
