What small step can you take TODAY in the direction of your own dream?

Do you ever notice that we put off taking action towards our big goals because we think everything in our lives needs to be perfect in order to get started? I invite you to consider that every big goal is accomplished first by the decision to go toward it (step one), and more importantly by the accumulation of many small action steps taken consistently over time.

Don't delay for one more day. Choose one small action today that you can take in the direction of your goal. Do it today. And then do one more tomorrow. And repeat.

But whatever you do, start now!

Closet cleaning day - the videos!

You might have seen my opening video blog on Friday before I started the all-day process of cleaning my closets. Here are the video highlights of my closet cleaning day....to see all 7 episodes, visit my youtube channel here.

Closet clearing day!

Today I'm tackling the task of going through my bedroom closets and acknowledging which of my clothes and shoes and purses are truly current with who I am and who I want to become. Here's my opening greeting video blog...with more to come throughout the day!

Feeling your own North Star

I'm finally starting to feel what my North Star and source of internal wisdom feels like. A big day!

Are you carrying around more than you need?

Sometimes having to look at your life through the metaphor of an object can help you see yourself in a different way. Here I talk about the revelation of looking at my keychain one morning.

How do you inspire and get inspired?

My Real Speaking mentor Gail Larsen was featured on Toni Reece's Get Inspired Project interview series recently. I was honored to be included on Toni's list of interviewees at Gail's recommendation!

My Heroine's Journey

[display_podcast] I had been so busy traveling the past weekend that I only listened to this recording a week after it arrived in my inbox. In that moment of listening I was able to feel the clarity and power of my own voice and my own story. Talk about a practice in acknowledgment!

I hope you enjoy Susanna Liller's expert interviewing skills, and some details from my journey that you might find helpful to you on your own hero's or heroine's journey.

The themes:

• constantly leaving the comfort zone, finding my own edge
• key conversations with people who catalyzed my "big leaps"
• advice and (lack of) support along the way
• following my own curiosity, being willing to learn and get involved in something, before getting paid for it
• not having a "plan", but pointing in the direction of a desired goal and following a deep intuitive knowing
• acknowledging what I want to do, versus what "everyone else" is telling me to do
• from following the rules (and being rewarded for it) to finding freedom (and enjoying it)
