Dream Catching

Last week, I talked about your one and only story, your Soul Story.  I said we all shared the same Soul Story.  I also said it was the answer to – well – everything. Abundance, freedom, purpose, love, courage, joy, power, bliss, meaning, serenity, significance – they’re all available to you.  All you have to [...]

Are You Kidding?

Are you kidding, Carol?  Who the hell are you these days?  I don’t recognize you. Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!  That’s the sound of complete and utter frustration with myself. I can’t get out of my own way these days. I’m doing way too much thinking and taking way too little action. And my business is suffering.  My bank [...]

There are two kinds of settling.  One denies your significance, and one celebrates it.  Which kind of settling are you doing? I spent most of my life doing the first kind of settling, and I don’t recommend it.  I settled for second best when it came to everything.  Actually, now that I think about it, [...]

(This post is dedicated to the people who held up and keep holding up the mirror. You know who you are.) I’ve been on Christine Kloser’s Transformational Author Retreat since Sunday evening, and it was been nothing short of life-changing.  Really.  There is something so incredibly special about spending time with people who see past [...]

I bet you didn’t know that tomorrow is “Make Your Dream Come True Day.”  No, I’m not kidding.  I couldn’t make this stuff up if I wanted to. So, in honor of “Make Your Dream Come True Day,” I am letting you in on one of my favorite dreams.  It hasn’t quite come true yet, [...]

Pure Potential

I love the first day of a new year, don’t you?  It’s so clean and clear and full of pure potential.  Like a snow-covered field before the first footprints or an empty canvas before the first brush stroke or a blank journal before the first written word. You hesitate to take that first step, apply [...]

The Race of Your Life

I can feel it. Even though I’m sitting here in my bathrobe, looking like a chipmunk that’s packed one too many nuts in her cheek, and popping painkillers and antibiotics like candy, I can feel it. Can you? It’s a quickening.  Kind of like that quick little gasp you make when something catches you off [...]

Your Heart Dream

(This is the second post in a series of posts about Dream Catching. Click here to read the first.) I believe you have two kinds of dreams – the ones that are overt and easily accessible and the ones that are buried deep and sometimes quite difficult to discover.  I think it’s the deeply held [...]

I’ve said it here before, and I’ll say it again.  I’m a late bloomer.  It took me longer than I care to admit to figure out the number one secret to getting my dream life. But once I figured it out, wow!  I was a happy camper. Is it really that simple?  Yes, it is.  [...]
