Often during my discovery and strategy sessions, I would hear or feel energy or the lack of it as women spoke about their goals and current life.

As I questioned them and asked them to picture their future following their current goals and career path they often expressed discouragement and said that this is  how things were but it doesn’t excite or make them feel fulfilled.

My goal then would be to work with what they told me and what I intuitively felt asking them thoughtful questions that would help them see a career and or personal life changes that would give them a life they would love and their energy would change when I encouraged them to envision this new path.

Viola! A new dream is created one that is full of passion, purpose, and fulfillment and intentional living!

It’s exciting for when the ah-ha happens and a new dream is born. Then the work to make the dream a reality can begin.

That’s one of the things that got me into the field of focusing on women achieving dreams as a career. The other is that while I could help everyone else discover and achieve their dreams I didn’t know what my own were. 

Once for a business training I was in, I was assigned the task of writing down my goals, things I wanted, places I wanted to go, and things I wanted to do.

My 20-something son asked me what I was working on and then asked me if he could see it.

He studied the paper I showed him, and he handed it back to me with a shake of his head and said, “Mom, you need to dream bigger!”

He was right, so I let loose and wrote down things I wanted, but deep inside, as I wrote them, I knew they weren’t going to happen.

Then I started examining my excuses, doubts, and all the reasons I thought my dreams would never become a reality.

From that day on I began researching, studying, and reading everything I could on setting and achieving goals, the difference between goals and dreams, the power of having a purpose and a passion for what you do in life, understanding beliefs and the effect they have on our past, present and future life.

My natural curiosity led me to study new thought authors, and much of what I have found helpful in my life comes from the words of wisdom written in the past, as well as the inspiration of current thought leaders who teach co-creating your life, intentional living, and manifesting your dreams.

Eventually, I discovered that my passion was helping women, much like myself, who spent their lives helping others achieve their dreams, to finally discover or rediscover and achieve their own.

It’s a hobby I am passionate about, but it wasn’t a lifelong dream; it was actually a suggestion from my husband, who thought it would be a nice little something for me to do rather than chase my dreams, which seemed to threaten him at the time.)

Something I have learned is that we can spend a lot of time chasing someone else’s dream for us or the wrong dream. I left my flowers for my dream of helping make dreams come true!)
