Can I tell you a story?

My birthday gift to you AND over 70 complimentary gifts!

Supporting, inspiring & accelerating dream manifestation since 2004.


Gather 'round...

(Ahem.)

Once upon a time, I wrote a book. I was inspired to write this book thanks to my brilliant clients. You see, I began to notice an uncanny theme in our conversations. I noticed that my clients were using words like "baby" "conception" "expecting" "nesting" "stretching limits" "birthing" "labor"...and even "cutting the cord"...all in reference to the process of bringing their dreams to life!

It struck me as rather odd at first...

That is, until I understood the wisdom of the pregnancy metaphor. Herein lies a timeless, intuitive, universal, natural process - one that, I realized, can support us in birthing just about anything! And so, I begin writing, and the words were practically falling out and onto the page. A week or so later, I was on the phone with my mom one afternoon, and mentioned that I had started writing a book.

Now, I kid you not... I had told her NOTHING about the book itself, the topic, the theme, nothing. And, do you know what she said? This is what she said: First, she literally gasped with excitement, and then she said, with sincere over-the-top exuberance, "How far along are you?!?"

Can you believe THAT?

I laughed out loud, and then proceeded to do my best to explain what was so funny. You can be sure that, in that moment, I let go of any lingering doubt that I was on the right track! AND, the uncanny synergies continued... While signing a book for someone at the book release party, I was asked how long it took to write my book. It was a question I hadn't answered before or given any thought to - and while you might expect I'd have caught on by then - I was stunned when I realized that this 'baby' took me 9 months!

Oh yes... it was an inspired journey, for sure. BUT, I didn't write it for me!
I wrote it for YOU!

And, frankly, with all the excitement brewing about the 5th annual Rhode Island Dream Party® coming up on October 8, and the Dreaming Out Loud workshop & networking event happening on August 10 (details on this below), being mid-way through facilitating a summer Dream Circle, the new & improved Dream Circle 2.0 program design underway, and several other deliciously dreamy projects in the pipeline...my book hasn't been getting the love and attention it deserves, until now.

If you don't already have a copy, or if you'd like to give it as a gift to someone you love...for less than $20, the stork will deliver it straight to your doorstep. And while I'm not shy about raving about it's value, you don't need to take my word for it...


"I just read Are You Pregnant with a Dream? Love, love love it!!!

I felt Tara's incredible spirit flowing right out of each word, each page!

It's getting warmer!

But, feeling the heat doesn't have to mean feeling thirsty!
Let me explain...

As a Dream Realization coach, I know the beauty of dreaming and what it takes to make those dreams come true, but this certainly wasn't always the case.

I assure you...I know what it means to thirst, to feel stuck, overwhelmed, creatively stifled, and constrained by circumstances. Yet, I also know what it means to, in the midst of it all, harbor a deep knowing that life is to be enjoyed fully. Even during the most trying times, I've known in my heart-of-hearts that given the right tools, I could juice up a tall glass of lemonade from that pile of lemons that I kept tripping on!

And so, I set out to create a deliciously juicy life. I was ready to do whatever it took, not because I was especially brave but because I simply couldn't imagine that the journey to fulfilling those dreams could be any harder than staying put! Relate?

Now, it is my honor and privilege to coach you to juice your own lemonade! And, what better time is there for lemonade than summer?

ARE YOU READY to QUENCH YOUR THIRST & align your precious energy and effort with a fun, proven process to accelerate the realization of your dreams?

Johanna was ready. She was in a job that no longer inspired her and kept her away from her family, her 4-year-old daughter especially. She joined the Dream Circle with an inkling of what she wanted to do instead, but wasn't sure it could happen. That was in January 2009 and that August she left her job and started Familytopia, a business that provides family enrichment workshops to organizations. She now supports other parents who are juggling work and family, and she has gained the flexibility of working from home, setting her own hours, and doing what she's really passionate about.

Bonnie was ready. When she joined the Dream Circle, she dreamed of having a studio space to create and share her artwork - a big upgrade from her dining room table! And, just 5-weeks later we met...in her studio!

And many others were ready. Are you?

Whether you know what your dreams are, feel entirely unsure of what you dream of, or have some idea but the vision is still foggy... I believe your heart knows what it wants, and if you're ready to listen, I'm here to help.

"When you follow your bliss...doors will open where you would not have thought
there would be doors, and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else."
~ Joseph Campbell

Summer in Newport is dreamy, and there are just a few seats remaining in the July/Aug Dream Circle meeting on Wednesday evenings. Don't miss out! Claim a seat for yourself and invite a friend for what promises to be another playful, powerful 5-week journey! (The lemonade is on me.)

The Dream Circle helps you gain the confidence and clarity of knowing that the life you want is not only possible...you'll have the full support to go about taking action to create it! Friendships are made, and dreams prosper...

"This program gives you the courage to recognize your dreams and act
on them - despite any preconceived doubts, barriers, or fears!
A must-do for anyone, at any age." ~ Jennifer Olson (Spring 2010 participant)

Are you a Dream Circle Graduate?

Dreaming together creates a very special bond, and I've recently been asked by several Dream Circle Graduates to offer a Phase II Dream Circle Program, for Graduates Only.

If you are a graduate, be on the lookout for an invitation to join me and other graduates for a special "Dream Circle for Graduates" program!

"The Dream Circle allows each person to voice their dreams with
no fear of put-down. It's exciting to see how seeds developed as each
session moved along and witnessing how dreams morph or become
far more defined. The inspiration is two-fold. It feels so very good to
help others by offering positive, constructive feedback, and in turn that
same constructive feedback helps you crystalize your own dream
more clearly. Together we created a circle where each other's ideas
evolved from concepts, to an outline, to attainability. It was magical."
~ Hilary, Newport, RI

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


And, for those of you from around the globe who are wishing for a Dream Circle that you could join, STAY TUNED for the unveiling of Dream Circle 2.0...Coming this Fall!

THANK YOU for being a member of our creative, inspiring, brave, international community. You are part of an ever-expanding movement towards a more joyful, loving, connected world.
