My Next Adventure begins Tomorrow!

1/29/2010

Good evening everyone.

Tomorrow I embark on one the most important steps in my life: Dream Coach Certification.

My flight to San Francisco leaves the Twin Cities around 11:30 in the a.m. I'll be in training for 7 days straight beginning Monday ending Sunday, February 7. It might seem a bit odd to say, but I'm looking forward to the time.

I'm excited to learn all I can, I'm excited to become a better person, I'm excited to be able to help so many people in their daily lives by making them know they matter and so do their dreams.

Where would we be without our dreams? We begin at a young age dreaming to be a grown up and some of us dream of what we would be doing as a grown up. What were your dreams of a child?

I remember my older sister wanting to be a nurse when she was younger and became one when she grew up. She is very proud of her accomplishment as we all are of her. All I aspired to be when younger was a mother and a wife, but knowing now what those roles entail, it is more than just "all."


Since I’ve been on this quest of becoming a Certified Dream Coach I hear many stories of people in real need of support and encouragement. If you’ve been following my blog you’ve read a few tidbits.

As I told a friend today, it tugs at the heart strings. I also told my friend that even though it has been nearly one year since my position was eliminated I still feel the pain of that time. And it hurts to see others go through their job loss or any other type of loss.

The other day I was speaking to a friend about someone who recently lost her mother and how she would cry at her desk with a less than sympathetic supervisor nearby. This was me to the T eighteen years ago, except it was my mother-in-law and a nasty co-worker. The unsympathetic boss came a few years later when I was dealing with my son who was diagnosed with ADHD and Depression, "Leave your problems at home."

Those were the years when I decided it was up to me to make a better life for myself. But I wasn’t “smart” enough to ask for help being too embarrassed that a label might be put on my head.

Times have changed. I have changed. I am stronger and I am going for what I want. I have been given all that I asked for and I want to teach—show—others that they can do the same. I will be there for them giving inspiration to follow through with their heart; offering encouragement that they are going in the right direction; and I will support them in their decisions as they move into the next phase of their life.

In a few days I will be a Certified Dream Coach who will be able to take participants through a process to learn how to achieve everything their hearts and minds desire. How great of blessing is that!?

Take care and God bless and have a splendiferous week.

Dream On!

I made a donation to the Hope for Haiti organization in thanks for the safety of a friend who survived the massive quake. Will you donate? $10 on your cell phone to 90999, text, "Haiti" will work too. I did that last week to be part of such an important cause. 

Dream On!

My Purpose

I am on the most remarkable journey of my life, and one of, if not THE most important ever. If you’ve been following me, you know that in a few short weeks I’ll be certified as a Dream Coach by America’s Dream Coach herself, Marcia Wieder. 

Just days ago, my thoughts questioned what that meant exactly and personally to me. What would I encounter after the certification? After last evening, I’m wondering what that will mean to me “during!” (Is this a dangling participle?)

Marcia has began a program called, “90 Days To Transform Your Life!” She is taking her students, me included, through the Dream process. Yes, that’s right; while I’m learning to become certified to teach the process, I will be going through that process. 

Last evening was our first session of “setting an intention.” After the official call, Marcia gave 15 scholarships for this program. She read the stories of the 15 winners. I cannot tell you in words that could compare the feelings, but I can tell you, my eyes were not dry by the end of that call. 

There were Dads and Moms who want to do right by their children; those parents are homeless, jobless, “carless,” suffered loss of home, spouse, and child. They are at the ends of their rope but were brave enough to come forward with their story, asking for help. I clearly remember being in that same place, and not all that long ago. 

It immediately occurred to me I am involved with “something that is much bigger” than me. I heard that phrase at the marketing boot camp I attended last November and once found, would be able to realize ease and abundance with my business and in my life.

Yes, this is an amazing journey I am on. Listening to another call with Marcia this evening, she spoke with a lady who, through Marcia’s book, found her purpose. I had been struggling with finding the words to describe my own, but with Marcia’s training this evening, I can now put my purpose into words: “My name is PeggyLee and my purpose is to encourage with my heart. 

Dream On!

A New Year of Gratitude and Happiness

Amazing how quickly one can get into a routine and feel “disrupted” when a blurb happens ;-) I was supposed to be finished with my project this week, but got extended one more week to get all the ducks in a row. I should be able to get done what I promised, but it’s long days ahead yet and working on the weekend to boot.
 
This project has made me think long and hard—when I had spare time—about what it is I really want. I really do enjoy the instructional design work, but I guess I just don’t like not being the one in charge :-)  My body has ached just like it did when I worked full time, I’ve been sick, I had a migraine, and I’ve been a little testy! 

I really missed the freedom of sitting down to write any time I wished; I really missed those days when I could wake naturally feeling very well rested; I really missed having a meal cooking when Mark got home from work; and I really missed having time off at Christmas, especially the flexibility of flying out to see Katie, our daughter who lives in Pennsylvania. 

Now I don’t want to seem like I’m complaining because I really really appreciated the contract job coming at the time it had. It was like it was meant to be for me and I would like other opportunities just like that one to waltz right into my lap once again. 

In a few short weeks I’ll have the title Certified Dream Coach behind my name with “author” and that gives me such a sense of accomplishment and pride that is unmistakable. I’ve even re-thought my religious beliefs (probably won’t ever leave the Catholic faith) to the point of how I want to be part of that faith. 

My core beliefs are the same—Love is the greatest gift of all; there is a God and He has watched over me and protected me these 52 years, giving me some very very amazing people to walk this earth with me and beside me, holding me up when I couldn’t do it myself. For that is why I feel forever grateful, forever appreciative of people just like you who remain with me as my beloved and true friend. And yes, whoever is reading this, I mean YOU!

Dream On!
PeggyLee
