“If you knew everything was really all right, and that it always has a happy ending, then you would not feel trepidacious about your future. Everything is really so very all right! If you could believe and trust that, then, immediately everything would automatically and instantly become all right.” ~ Abraham

If you had no fear, what would you accomplish?

STOP, TAKE A BREATH, and ASK yourself this question. Most of us operate out of a sense of fear instead of a sense of faith, love and trust.

You never worry about the air around you running out – so you have to run outside and breathe as much of it as possible. You have faith and trust that wherever you go, there is enough air for you to breathe.

Think about your true desires and dreams. If they are truly your dreams and not the dreams of your parents, your cultural tribe or your teachers, then the way to make those dreams reality right there beside those dreams. The answers are always in the same room with the questions.

All divine desires are given divine expressions. That is your task. This is where you take the inspired action to make those dreams and divine desires a reality. When you come from a place of pure divinity, fear does not exist.

Leap. The net will appear.
Coach Carolyn

You are a Divine Expression waiting to express your divine desire. Don't let fear stop you from your expression. Join the Transcending Fear Mentoring Program today and express freely and fully.

Later this week, I will be launching my brand new program, Transcending Fear Mentoring Program. It will be an online mentoring program designed to move you from a place of fear and struggle to a place of faith and flow.


Think about your dreams and intentions for this new year. How are you doing with them? Have you created wonderful practices and actions to manifest those dreams? Or, are you stuck and can't move forward? This is about the time when we begin to move into the stuck stage of our new year's intentions.

Re-visit your list of intentions again. Re-write them as an "I AM" statement. So, if your intention is to lose some weight. Re-write your intention as, "I AM my ideal weight of xxx pounds."

This has been a powerful technique for me as I am being who I say I want to be; doing what I say I want to do, and having what I say I want to have. All in present tense, positive statements.

Stay tuned for the launch of the Transcending Fear Mentoring Program.

Here's to your success!

"Most people say their main fault is a lack of discipline. On deeper thought, I believe this is not the case. The basic problem is that their priorities have not become deeply planted in their hearts and minds." ~ Stephen Covey

One of the biggest reasons people do not follow through with their goals and dreams is a lack of purpose. There isn’t a big enough “why” you want to achieve that goal or dream. So, why do you want to achieve that goal? Is it because it is what someone else thinks you should do or have? Is it because you want to do or have what your peers do or have, so you won’t be left out of the group? Or, is it because you think you will finally be happy once you achieve it? Remember, happiness is an inside job. If you are not happy without it, I can guarantee you won’t be any happier with it.

Your dream is something that comes from deep inside of you. You have to fall madly in love with your dream. It has to be the thing you eat, sleep and breathe on a daily basis. If you talk to someone about your dream, will they be able to feel your passion and excitement? If not, then perhaps it is not your dream.

Take a moment to STOP, TAKE A BREATH, and ASK:

*What is it that really lights me up?
*What am I willing to do to make that a reality in my life?
*What am I ready to let go of to make that a reality in my life?

I hope you purchased a brand new journal for this brand new year. Start writing! Post a comment here and let me know what your dreams are for this brand new year.

Here’s to your success!
Coach Carolyn

One of my coaches always provides a challenging question of the week to ponder, dream and intend. One week, the question was if she was to give me $10 million dollars, what would I spend it on ~ and I can’t just give it away, but I have to spend it. What fun it was spending $10 million dollars on paper!

So let’s bring it down closer to home. What if you were to win a $10,000 dream summer vacation, where would you go and what would you do? You can dream exceedingly big when you dream on paper. So dream big! Unfortunately, because of the “economy” people are not only postponing vacations, but they are also not dreaming big.

I remember as a child looking forward to summer vacation. I didn’t like where I went (to my mean aunt’s house in South Carolina), but I liked the idea of the summer break from school and the teachers; who were almost as mean as my aunt! There was something sacred about summer vacation. Remember, it was “winter break” but “summer vacation.” I don’t know about you, but I haven’t had a real summer vacation in a while. Why? Because like most, I have misplaced my “dream mojo.”

Then, I discovered HomeAway. No, it isn't a home remover, but a return of the lost summer vacation. HomeAway is standing up for your rights for the return of the summer vacation; a return of living the abundant life you once dreamed of. I just joined the movement to Save Our Summer Vacation. This movement is petitioning Congress to proclaim August 7 as “National Vacation Day.” It is so cool to sign a petition for something that is in alignment with my dreams. I invite you to join the movement and begin living the life of prosperity and passion you deserve.

These days, many people feel uneasy or stressed out about spending money, but living an abundant life begins with a dream. So, start dreaming! Journal about your $10,000 dream summer vacation, then enter it in the HomeAway Vacation Rentals contest. What the heck? You could dream your dream into reality!

Dream BIG!

“Thoughts lead in to purposes; purposes go forth in action; actions form habits; habits decide character; and character fixes our destiny.” ~ Tryon Edwards

So bottom line: Our thoughts lead to our destiny. Our thinking is what creates our reality. Experts say that we think approximately 60,000 thoughts each day and…

~ over 80% of those thoughts are negative

and…

~ we consistently think the same negative thoughts over and over.

Think about this: When was the last time you had a new thought? Or, do you simply re-hash the same old negative thoughts?

We are divine creators. In order to create, we must dream new and magnificent dreams.

If we don’t like the life we are living, we have the power to think a new thought ~ a thought that will lead to a new reality.

Think a new thought, dream BIG dreams!
Coach Carolyn

“There comes a special moment in every woman's life, a moment for which she was born. That special opportunity, when she seizes it, will fulfill her mission — a mission for which she is uniquely qualified. In that moment, she finds greatness. It is her finest hour.” ~ Winston Churchill (Pronouns changed on purpose!)


On this journey of passion and purpose, I am very blessed to meet fellow sojourners along the way. It is such a blessing to know that we are never alone on this journey and when we need a helping hand, there is always someone else either a little ways ahead of us, or right beside us to take our hand.

One such traveler is dear friend Rev. Dr. Lorraine Cohen. I feel I can call her friend because anyone who I have had a good laugh with is friend to me! Lorraine is an ordained spiritual minister, hypnotherapist, life coach and spiritual warrior. She hangs out at Powerfull Living. Yes, that’s powerfull, with two L’s; as in FULL OF POWER! She is one of the most loving, compassionate and peaceful people I have had the privilege to meet online. I was honored to be a part of her Spiritual Circle calls this past fall and I was blown away by the energy. I left the weekly calls feeling so much lighter and calmer. And, dagnabbit, she is so much fun! So, be sure to sign up for whatever she is doing!

I am so pleased and proud that Lorraine has realized one of her desires. Lorraine, her business partner, Anita Pathik-Law (another absolutely amazing spiritual warrior) and Anita’s husband, Brent (music man extraordinaire) manifested a lovely video that speaks to the power of our infinite possibilities. This video, I SAY YES! is a work of love, laughter and tears. You can just feel it. Well, at least, I cried when I first saw it!

Lorraine and Anita are the spiritual mothers of a powerfull program called Aligning with Destiny: An 8-step Blueprint for Whole Life Transformation. They have birthed this program as an answer to some of the age old questions, “Who am I?” “Why am I here?” “What is my destiny?” This is what we here at BWP are all about ~ discovering the answers that are within each of us. Watch the video and feel all of the possibilities that are buried within you rise to the surface.

"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase." ~Martin Luther King Jr.

Today, as we honor a man who also had a dream, my prayer for you is please, don’t die with your dreams and desires unfulfilled, untapped and unrealized. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. took purposeful action to manifest his dreams and your dreams. A dream of being free to dream. You are such a divine and unique creation. Your purpose and your dream is right now!

Say YES to your dreams!
Coach Carolyn

I spent this past weekend with about 60 other dreamers and Marcia Weider, America’s Dream Coach in the Create Your Future Now workshop. It was an intense weekend, 9-7 both days with lots of information, sharing, and dreaming. It was awesome to be in a SOHO loft with so many other dreamers and entrepreneurs.

Marcia, founder and CEO of Dream University, has certified nearly 600 Dream Coaches and travels around the world giving workshops, lectures and retreats on making your dreams a reality. In addition to authoring a number of books, she had appeared on Oprah a number of times, had her own PBS special and leads week long workshops on becoming an inspiring speaker and masters of manifestation. Marcia is the former president of the National Association of Women Business Owners and resides in the San Francisco area with her fiancé Patrick and her two puppies, Ciao and Bella.

This weekend, Marcia went through her 10 Dream Principles, with exercises and lots of questions to help solidify our dreams. We also discussed making, managing, breaking and re-negotiating agreements, which Marcia believes is one of the prime sources of suffering.

One of the principles is finding your purpose: “When all of your dreams are an expression of your purpose, then you are in alignment,” says Marcia.

“There are the dream we have for our life and then there are the dreams that life has for us.” ~ Marcia Weider from Dreams Are Whispers From the Soul

The most profound part of the weekend for me, besides meeting and sharing with new dreamers, was the piece on incompletions – something left undone or unsaid in our lives. These incompletions can trigger old memories stirring up disowned parts of ourselves, resulting in unrealized dreams. The process for getting complete is to first identify what is incomplete ~ asking how might this be impacting or inspiring your dream; and then determining what needs to be done to complete it. Completing what is incomplete puts you in an empowered position by reclaiming that part of you that was lost or disowned.

This was especially profound for me because it speaks of grief and loss, which is one of my passions. It indeed brought up lots for me to take away and meditate on further.

Marcia's 3-Step Process for making your dreams come true:
1. Get clear about what you want
2. Believe in yourself and your dreams
3. Take action on your dreams

I am a member of Marcia’s Amazing Dreamers online community which is a wonderful place to support you in bridging the gap between your reality and your dreams. The Amazing Dreamers community is nearly 5000 members and I invite you to join for support, tips and tools, including free e-books and audio on making your dreams come true. When you join, add me and Marcia as a friend.

It was a blessing to have Marcia back in her own home state for the weekend, and the New York Marcia shined forth.

Be sure to check out Marcia’s newest beautiful book, Dreams Are Whispers From the Soul. I have my very own personally autographed copy which will become a constant companion on my journey from living in reality to living in my precious dreams.

Live purposely in your dreams,
Coach Carolyn
