  • OnTheBeach: What is Your Big Dream?

    What is your Big Dream? What do you really want for your life? What do you daydream about? What are your heart and soul whispering to you? What is it that makes your eyes go round and your mind whisper “I could have THAT, I could do that? Really? Wow”. What’s your Big Dream? Clarity…

  • Podcast: Barriers Between You and Your Big Dream

    There are going to be barriers between you and your big dream. But that’s good news (as well as bad news) because now you know they WILL come up, you can just get over it, under it, through it, round it. Another piece of good news is that most barriers look bigger than they really…

    OnTheBeach: Lighten Up

    So last week I told you that when I chilled out about getting stuff done, I got more stuff done. It’s ironic, right? And yet today, again, I’m experiencing the truth of it – as soon as I relaxed about getting this article written (in fact, I’d decided not to write it today!), I started…

  • Announcing the October Daily Practice: Morning Pages

    You may have already heard me discuss the Morning Pages on this blog or on Facebook. This is a practice I took on thanks to Jamie Ridler last May, and I haven’t looked back! I’ve now filled 9 books and countless pieces of paper, and I would no more drop this daily practice than I…

  • Sharing What’s In Your Soul Cup

    Sharing What’s In Your Soul Cup

    Last week, when I was finally recovering from my Migraine and able to watch and hear things without clutching my head and moaning, this video from Leonie Dawson was one of the first things I watched.

One of the things that has really struck me about all the athletes is how hard they’ve worked to get where they…

  • Things Can Change In An Instant

    Things Can Change In An Instant

    Things can change in a very short period of time. One day you are unemployed, the next you are offered a job. One day you have no clients, the next 3 new people sign up. One day you have no sales of your book, the next you are getting e-mails from people all over the…

  • Podcast: Comparison and Your Big Dream

    Comparing an apple and an orange leaves both apple and orange feeling somehow lacking. And when we compare ourselves to someone else, we seem to pick those people who are 8000 steps ahead of us, people who will really show up our inadequacies! When you see someone else you admire, look at what they are…

  • Ask Donna: Am I Too Old For My Big Dream?

    To watch this video, click here: http://youtu.be/eNvDLahVaFQ I am 39 years old and will be 40 in August. Am I too old to go for my dream? – Alexis In short, NO! You’re not ‘too old’ unless you’re dead!!! Then it really is too late! Lots of people in their 80’s, 90’s and 100’s do…

  • Podcast: Inspiration and Your Big Dream

    Where do you find your inspiration? Where do the ideas and bolts from the blue come from? To make your big dream a reality you need an outlet where inspiration can strike. Here are a few of the places that inspiration strikes me: morning pages (from The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron), meditation, walking the…
