Marcia's Dream NoteI was blown wide open with joy last week as 120 people gathered for the Become an Inspiring Speaker workshop. Messengers, teachers, coaches and speakers literally from around the world joined me and a team of world-class experts in CA. Imagine, just a few days after working with our faculty, each person stood to deliver a short talk that was powerful and vulnerable, revealing and authentic. We laughed and cried together as we celebrated beauty and courage. These folks, like me, are committed to making the world a better place and based on what I saw and felt, they’re already doing it. If you have a message to share, consider joining us next year for this profound and life changing event.Dreaming Big, World’s Largest Dreams Come True Workshop Join us for a wild, fun and profound 2 days in San Francisco. This will be unlike any event you have ever attended! Besides leaving with valuable tools to make powerful choices in your life, we promise you a great time. In addition to a most unusual/dreamy champagne reception and goodie bag (valued at more than the price of admission) we will dream big, dance, sing, do soul work, create a fabulous Dream Board and most importantly, gain clarity on our dreams and create new ones for 2009. I'm on a Passion QuestYou can create a Passion Quest to find your purpose, create new dreams and gain greater clarity. You don't even have to put your whole life on hold. You can take a day, weekend, week or year...the purpose is to find, discover or reconnect to what you love...and then to follow it. Let life lead you to and through the unknown where amazing gifts and insights often await. Connecting with yourself on a deeper level will help you achieve your dreams so in order to do this; you might choose to go on a Passion Quest. For a period of time, explore using passion as the barometer for deciding what you will and won’t do (when choice is an option). Whether work-related or during personal time, notice what excites you versus what drains you. Re-ignite your passion by simply doing more of what you love. I rewarded myself with a visit to a nearby spa where I had a massage and a mud wrap (trust me, it sounds odd but was heavenly)...and swam and sunned. I also took a journal and some markers with me to do a little Soul work. My Soul informed me that this Passion Quest would have three parts:
I am opening to what I truly love and what has great meaning to me at this time of my life. It’s a bit scary to ask these kinds of questions, since the answers hold unknown potential and often require that we grow or change in ways we can’t imagine. How do you Passion Quest or take time to connect with your deeper truth and wisdom? What are you passionate about? What one thing do you love doing that might be your non-negotiable for this week?Taking quality time for our heart and soul is an act of generosity. If you think it’s selfish, consider this. Connected to your passion and dreams, you will have more love, joy and energy to share with the people you love and care most about. You’ll also have extra resource for your dreams and projects. You can even use a Passion Quest to create some new dreams! If you have a dream or are in search of a new one, join www.AmazingDreamers.com to network with our community of dreamers.

In This IssueDream Quote“As we get still and empty, we can open to hear the pulse and heartbeat of life.” Dear Marcia,
I am 57 yrs. old and have tried more things than I care to mention and just can't seem to find my passion for anything. Thanks, L Dear L, YES! It’s never too late to make a dream come true. But if you don’t believe in yourself, it makes it hard for others to. Decide what you want, what matters to you and then take a step today to prove you are serious about it. I have seen people with passion and commitment achieve all kinds of second half of life dreams. It’s important that you get out in the world and talk to people, explore your creative ideas and try new tricks. Begin by doing something that you love: hike, volunteer, cook, paint, dance, etc. Your question was short and sweet so I’ll make my answer the same. Again, and in a word, YES, there is more than hope for you. Ignite your passion and validate your desire by taking action. Warmly, Need help? E-mail your questions. |
