  Dawn Herring Realizing what we really want in life is really like a dream come true, wouldn't you say? Talk about being creators! But what does that really look like?

  Dawn Herring Oooh, I like the use of the word TRUST, Kelly. We all need reassurance that what we do is going to work and that what we really want is valued.

  Madeline Tasky Sharples For me it's writing down to do and accomplishment lists. It helps keep me accountable.

  Kelly Epperson Simmons I keep manifesting my dreams - they keep evolving as life keeps evolving. And that word TRUST is a constant touchstone.

  Kelly Epperson Simmons Consider it an experiment. Each morning write 3 - 5 desires for the day. And then pay attention.

  Dawn Herring Knowing you can just go back to it again and again, which is honoring Who You Are, can be calming and centering.

  Dawn Herring Ah, Pay Attention. That's what I call Tuning IN. Like writing down night dreams to figure out what's going on...

  Kelly Epperson Simmons I desire to laugh more. So I write that and it is happening. Start small!

  Dawn Herring No, of course not, Madeline. So I guess that begs the question, how do we know where to limit what we want. Are we dreaming too big?

  Madeline Tasky Sharples I did the same. I worked in aerospace on government proposals and left because I wanted to follow my dream of becoming a writer. I admit that was huge, but it happened. And journaling helped.
