We often hear about the road to success and empowerment and think of
dreaming big, taking action, speaking incantations etc. and there is no doubt in
my mind that this all works very well, but it is not all there is to it!

I have been in the practice of dreaming 'big' for thirty or so
years and putting into place what I wish for on my own
journey.
I would be seen by others in many ways as being successful and ambitious, a
good business woman and very passionate about what I do and offer. All of
this is true, I do consider myself these things, but I am also very aware of the
challenges the dream invites and what I have had to work through to get to
this place as well.

If I simply had to dream, create manifestation collages and
speak the right words, I don't think I would have got very far!
Because I know how much action is also needed, but also I
know only too well the deep routed pain and discomfort that
has had to be addressed in order to step out of my own way
and to trust myself.
And especially to trust others that I have connected with
and have had the courage to walk-the-edge of what seemed
impossible with at times.

One of the things I realise now is that I am actually living the
dream I set up for myself some twenty years ago.
