🦄⚡️Creative Dream Incubator Weekly Coaching Call is today!!
Hope to see you there - or catch the replay over the weekend! Call details + replays are here. And after the call I'll start a thread in the forum to share your plans for the week and as a space for accountability and support.
If you can't be there live but have a question or there's something you are struggling with, send me an email this morning and I'll discuss it on the call and offer you some suggestions for things to do.

On Fridays I do my Dream Status Report which is a series of prompts I use every week to help me have more clarity, momentum and groundedness on my path. You can do them with me (Dream Book members: come post yours in the forum!)!
My Dream Status Report for this week:
PART ONE:
My dream is: I am calling it "my magical new life". There are lots of "outer things" this includes, but right now I am really thinking about... how do I want to FEEL in my life? What are the QUALITIES of my life? Where is the meaning and purpose and joy?
I want it because: I've been wanting to feel like "Oh I'm over this divorce thing" but the truth is, I am re-building my life re-dreaming my future and this takes time.
When I have it I will feel: More grounded and stable - like settled in my most magical life. Right now it feels like I am DREAMING and BUILDING my most magical life.
PART TWO:
Invite the soul of your dream in (using the Dream Lab practice) to help you with the rest of the prompts.
It's ME! A bigger version of me who takes my hand I feel grounded. She says "We got this because we ARE this"
PART THREE:
Last week’s focus was: Feel good. Stay fuelled up and keep taking steps.
What happened in the last week?
I was increasingly crabby and achy and not feeling good... and this morning I woke up with a full blown head cold. So - not feeling good, lol.
BUT steps were taken. I Am figuring things out. LOTS of Un-Sticking but it feels really rich and useful.
I had therapy this week and was talking about The Big Childhood Stuff really being up for me and said that I am right on time, developmentally speaking. Like - this is what mid-life is, a huge reckoning and perspective shifting. The ways I've held and dealt with this stuff up until now worked for me up until now, and now it's time for new ways.
Also, I was so thrilled that my therapist bought my Creative Dream Playbook for her partner! She said she didn't get it because she knows me, she looked around a lot for a journal like this to support him in new creative projects, and this was the best one she saw.
What am I learning/How do I feel about this?
I guess again I am remembering that I am in a really powerful time of healing. With the divorce and mid-life, it's feeling like time to totally re-create myself and my life. I don't want to stop what I am doing with the Creative Dream Incubator, but I want to be doing something else too and I can't put my finger on what that is. Right now, it's the lino cuts and printing fabrics, but I just feel like I want to be more creatively engaged somehow, that there is still lots to explore.
What do I need now?
Well, I woke up with a head cold, I need rest. And I need to keep digging with all of the inner work I have been doing.
What does my dream need now?
She says she wants me to let go of a bunch of old stories. It's time for my magical new life.
Taking all of this into account, my focus for the next week is:
Letting go of old stories. Digging deep into the Inner Work - and doing more Dream Work to GROUND the inner work changes.
