I spent my birthday with my family at the beach in Florida two weeks ago.

We watched a beautiful sunrise over the ocean, lounged on the beach, swam in the pool, and enjoy fresh seafood dinners! Fun!

I am so grateful that I get to experience these things in life. I feel recharged, refreshed and ALIVE!

On the plane ride there, I read the Jan 2017 edition of the Oprah magazine. the cover simply said two words:

“LIVE BIG!”

And that’s exactly what I intend to do with my life starting today and moving forward.

Today, I have an exercise for you and a challenge.

(exercise) Take out a sheet of paper or open a word doc to type. Find a quiet space alone and connect with your inner truth.

At the top of the paper write this question…

“If I could wave a magic wand and if I knew I could not fail what would be my dream life? What would be my “dream job” or “dream work”? Describe it now.

Write down the first thing that pops in your mind. Don’t filter it. Don’t let your logical mind tell you that’s “too big” or “that’s not realistic”. What is your dream? Just write down whatever comes to mind first. Go!

——————————————————————–

I recently answered this question and shared it with my friend and career counselor- Tim Dugger. The answer that bubbled up for me was an old dream that had been tucked away inside my heart since my early 20’s. Back then, my life had taken a detour so I let the dream slip away. And here I am with this “exciting dream” starring me right in the face.

My dream is to host a talk show and write life-changing books. Why? because I love having meaningful conversations and sharing useful information that helps change people’s lives for the better. I’ve already done a ton of interviews. But I’m ready to expand and “LIVE BIG!”.

Fear, blame, and excuses always show up when we are on the verge of living our calling. It’s called resistance. Knowing this and doing it anyway is what we all have to do to fulfill our destiny.

Now go back to the paper where you wrote down the answer to that question. Read your answer. What is one small step can you take to live your dream. Write it down and then do it!

It’s time. You are ready. Go!

Much love,
