*Attention* Driven Dreamers, "Closeted Creatives", & Heart-Centered Leaders/Entrepreneurs:

Are you ready to stop living for later, and create momentum
to REALLY accelerate the realization of your dreams?

Here's the problem:

Like so many ambitious, caring, conscious creatives, you're probably tired of the status-quo and you so deeply want to follow your bliss and follow your passions, with little or no interest in fitting into any neat and tidy pre-determined box. You want to create from the inside out, and while many in your life, and the world-at-large, may tell you that you can't, and (whether you admit it or not) you have doubts yourself, yet you also have this tugging at your heart that's asking you to believe in possibilities that logic might say otherwise about.

It's a tough place to be. Why? Because in the grind of daily life there are days when - at most - your dreams are about a good night's sleep! You call it a day, then wake up tomorrow and do it all over again. If you're like most, you may feel resigned and defeated by this repetitive reality and like there's little or no energy left to dream the big dreams, let alone create the momentum needed in order to live them!

Maybe you think your dreams would be doomed to fail, or just be added to the ever-growing list of "maybe someday's" and so you don't even let yourself want it, or dream it, or say it out loud. Or maybe you think now's not the right time to begin, yet if not now, then when? When will now be the right time? And, really, how long have you been saying "later"?

It makes me so sad to think that your precious time and energy are being spent one way or another - so why waste it on just doing the "shoulds" and not investing in the "because I feel inspired tos".

You know who you are. And, I can't wait to show you how to create a new experience for yourself.

Are you feeling uncomfortable?

Are you uncomfortable?

Something really important has surfaced for me recently.

I had this experience where I was reminded of just how potent a source of motivation discomfort is. I'm not going to go into this in full detail because it is THAT uncomfortable (I'm sure you've experienced the same), but here's what I've discovered about this and how it connects to your dream...

Your dreams and goals can serve as pure and inspired motivation for action, there's no doubt about that. But, sometimes discomfort is even more of an incentive for change. Know what I mean?

It's easy to put off upping-the-ante on your JOY because, well, right now is tolerable enough... But when things send us into a tizzy of "this really isn't working for me," change happens f-a-s-t and those all-of-a-sudden priorities quickly by-pass whatever had previously been at the top of the to-do list.

Change is a fascinating phenomenon, and there's certainly no shortage of opportunities to witness this phenom taking place right now - whether on a deeply personal level or a macro-cosmic scale.

So, why am I writing to you about all this?

I'm writing because I want to invite you to join me for a process of accelerated change in the direction of JOY. I want you to join me in a process of inspired momentum - a momentum that gracefully and quickly moves you away from what feels yucky, and has you rapidly and excitedly moving toward what your heart knows YOU are here to share.

Through my work in the world, I am co-creating a movement of activity, intention, and support to help tip the scales on this uncomfortable change process, and help YOU live a life you love NOW, not later. I want you to access, expand, and share the expression of your soul, the wonder of your life, - oh yeh, AND join me in exponentially increasing the joy of the world...

How's THAT for dreaming big? :)

(More nitty-gritty details to come...but for now be assured that I am in full-swing with aligned action toward this dream here at Create Your Life headquarters.)

So, are you ready to join forces with me?

I have the perfect way to support you in this. Coming up, is the kick-off of a brand new 8-week telephone classroom (this means wherever you are, you can join) program that, for a fraction of the cost of private coaching, I'll be giving you ALL my dream realization secrets, immediate energy management tools to use, and direct hands-on-how-to's so that you have a clear, proven process and are fully equipped to realize any dream you can imagine.

This program is a condensed version of what I've boiled down to just the most engaging, dream-actualizing parts of my Psychology training, my Coach training, my Holistic Leadership training, countless books and seminars, and an in-depth education at the school of hard-knocks...all rolled into an experience that will give YOU a jump-start to more joy and well-being, and feeling excited and invigorated about getting out of bed each day. You've got dreams to realize!

You will drastically reduce your learning curve, and get right to it by being part of this 8-week crash course, where you'll learn my step-by-step Create Your Life! Dream-Acceleration™ Process. You'll walk away with everything you need to start bringing about whatever you can imagine, and being joyfully on-track, right away.

The program starts mid-November, but through October 31, you can save BIG. I also need to let you know that because I'm committed to this being an intimate group so that everyone gets plenty of personal attention from me, I will only accept 20 participants - this is my promise, and spaces are already filling.

If you're ready to join me, click here for all the details. If you review it and have questions about the program or whether is would be a good fit for you, I want you to feel free to reach out to me personally at Tara@createyourlifeinc.com. Write "Dream-Acceleration Program Question" in the subject header and you'll be first on my list of replies so we can set up time for a one-to-one chat.

I truly can't wait to coach you and to share this extraordinary Dream-Acceleration™ Program with you!

You'll want to register for this right away because, again, I will only accept 20 people into this program. And for a huge discount tuition savings, you must register by no later than October 31.

Together, let's turn discomfort into joy and new beginnings. The time to start living your dreams is NOW.


May your dreams always inspire more than they intimidate,

Tara




P.S. The website with all the details about how you can be one of the 20 people to join me for this dream-propelling 8-week program is http://createyourlifeinc.com/acceleratemydream.htm and your huge tuition discount offer expires October 31!

Do you know what your dreams ARE?

Do you know what your dreams are?

With just 2 DAYS until the 5th annual Rhode Island Dream Party® - it's hard to contain the excitement I feel about what I know awaits you and your dreams on this special evening.

Based on numbers, we are fast approaching full capacity(!) and so, I need to let you know that there will be just a handfull of tickets available at the door. And we don't want to have to turn you away! So, please be sure to secure your ticket now. (And, as a member of our community, feel free to use Discount Code DREAM25 and save 25% off your ticket price. Yet another reason to order in advance is tickets will be full-price at the door!)

A question I get asked a lot is "Tara, what if I don't know what my dreams are?" Here are three things to consider if you aren't sure what your dreams are:


1. Your heart knows what it wants.

If you're feeling like your dreams are a mystery, it may be time to check in and see what your heart has to say on the topic. Set an intention to be willing to listen and to allow the voice of your dreams to be heard. Carve out sacred time and space. Ask, and then LISTEN... This is not time to edit or critique or decide what's unrealistic, too big, silly or small for you. Just listen, with your full attention. And like anything else, the more practiced at it you get, the easier it will become.


2. Perhaps your dream isn't "a thing" at all.

Perhaps you've already been to Australia, you have loving partnership, enough money to do as you please, and you don't want to write a book. Yet, despite the external aspects of your life where you want them, you know something is desperately missing. Rather than looking for the next thing, consider: How would you like to FEEL? Yes - dreams can be a feeling. Perhaps you aspire to feel contentment, peace, balance, at ease, joyful. Whatever your answer to how you would like to feel, believe in the possibility, declare it, and you're already on your way...



3. Sometimes we know more than we think we know, you know? :)

Something that makes me giggle (at least on the inside) every time I say it is: "I understand that you really don't know, but if you DID know, what would the answer be?" This question has been known to reveal some surprising wisdom, clarity, and some awe-inspiring dreams!


See? Your dream doesn't have to remain a mystery.



And with The Dream Party just 2 DAYS AWAY, let me assure you that uncovering your dreams beforehand is NOT a pre-requisite to attending. In fact, your curiousity is a great reason to be sure you're there!

A past guest of The Dream Party said it best: "I attended The Dream Party with no dream, but after such a fun time and speaking to people, my dreams started to surface and come alive. Thank you for such an event. Dream on!!"



No more living for later. The time to start living your dreams is now.

I can't wait to dream with you!

Tara

Are you unknowingly sabotaging YOUR dreams?

Are you unknowingly sabotaging your dreams?

Here at Dream Party central, we are counting down the DAYS to the 5th annual Rhode Island Dream Party® - happening THIS FRIDAY!! We're busy putting the finishing touches on every dreamy detail to ensure that you have a fun-filled, dream-propelling evening you'll be talking about all year, and beyond!

If you are one of the 90+ folks who are already registered to come play with, "try on", celebrate and experiment with the dreams that live in your heart -- we simply can't wait to welcome you! And if you don't already have tickets, there are still a few days left to register - and as a member of our community, you can take an additional 25% OFF with Discount Code: DREAM25

But whether you can come on Friday or not, I wanted to share a very common misconception about dream realization, to help prevent you from UNKNOWINGLY sabotaging the realization of your dreams.

The crux of it is summed up beautifully in this Jack Canfield quote:


"Most people foul up at the crucial first step because they simply can't see how it's possible to get what they want, so they don't even let themselves want it. You must first decide what you want before your brain can figure out how to get it. Once you lock in your desires your mind and the universe can step in."

Are YOU guilty of not even letting yourself want it for this very reason?


If so, you're certainly not alone. Most people think the way to realize a dream is to figure out all the HOWs first. How you're going to bring it to fruition...How you're going to raise the money...schedule it...form a team...and on and on. All before they commit to the dream itself.



But that's just not how dream realization works.


This is what I know. It is time to let yourself want it - even and especially if you don't know how to bring your dream to fruition.

A past guest of The Dream Party described our enchanting "Footbridge to the Future" (it greets you at the entrance) by saying, "The footbridge to the future' serves as a metaphor for stepping not only into the future but into participating in one's dream for their life!"



I couldn't have said it better.


And here's what SO cool about this: You can walk over that metaphorical footbridge in this right now present moment --- by simply giving yourself permission and making the DECISION to participate fully in your dreams for your life.



No more living for later. The time to start living your dreams is now. Whatever "it" is for you...will you give yourself permission to want it?


Cheering wildy and hoping to see YOU on October 8th!

Tara
