Hi panda bears, 

September. 75% of the way through the year. My golly gosh.

I figured now was a really good time to check back in with my 2013 Create your Incredible Year workbook goals and see how they’ve come true, and what still needs to be done. I wanted to share them publicly for two reasons – accountability ROCKS… and I find it very inspiring to hear what other people’s goals are, and how they are being achieved.

If you’re a workbook junkie like me, I’d encourage you to do the same… the more you get intimate with your goals, the more they come true!

It’s like that quote:

Millionaires look at their goals once a day.

Billionaires look at their goals twice a day.

You may or may not have the goal of being a millionaire or billionaire, but being intimately connected with your goals can lead to greater happiness, productivity, creativity + abundance. YOU get to choose what you want to create in the world. When women rise up to become conscious creators of their lives, the world will change (and already is!)

Anywaysies, before I get carried away… a couple of notes to begin!

2014 Workbooks

Yep, we are (of course) doing 2014 Biz + Life workbooks. They are being fully redesigned and they are looking SO VERY scrumptious and stunning! I know you are going to ADORE them. It’ll be our 5th (!!!!!!!!!!!) year of producing them… they have SUCH an amazing track record of making miracles come true for the women who use them… lots of shit made happen + dreams come true!

We’ll release before the end of the year… can’t wait!

A note on my goals

Looking back at this list, I’m really proud of everything that’s already happened.

I’m also really cognizant of the fact that I’ve in effect “lost” 25% of this year with being ill. Ticking off that goal to get pregnant ending up taking much, much more energy than I was expecting! I’ve now been bedridden for 3 months, so a lot of my personal creative goals and my “around the house” goals aren’t there yet. And I am okay with that. I give that up in order to have this baby. It’s just a rechanelling of where my energy needs to go.

Even though hyperemesis gravidarum sucks giant donkey wang and I wish I didn’t have to go through it (or any woman in the world), it really has brought so many unexpected blessings: I’ve done an immense amount of personal healing. My relationship with my husband has gotten even deeper as I’ve needed to lean on him so much for emotional and physical and everything support. His bond with Mermaid Daughter #1 has gotten even stronger because he’s been the primary carer of her while I’ve been bedridden. Mermaid Daughter #1 has grown really close to her grandparents and spends a lot of time every day with them playing (I think they adore it just as much as she does!) I’m now very comfortable with receiving hospital support (instead of being afraid of it) and am quite connected already with my midwives. I’ve tried out a couple of hospitals, and I know the midwife-run ward we’ll be giving birth at is absolutely the best choice for us. Plus, I think all mothers have this dream of being able to lay around in bed all day catching up on sleep (I know I definitely did when Mermaid Daughter #1 was younger and I was so sleep deprived!) Anyways – that’s effectively just happened for me. And even though it hasn’t been a total larkfest because of that whole horrendous unrelenting nausea and vomiting thing, I think I might have clocked back up my sleep balance. Ha!

And miracle upon miracles, my business has continued to thrive and grow to amazing new levels, even when I’ve needed to cut back my hours. It’s testament to how I’ve set up my business: my support team has been amazing, all our clients are being taken care of brilliantly, the systems I’ve worked so so hard to create in my business have worked wonderfully, I’ve been freed up to really just do the important shit. I feel so grateful to Great Spirit that I can continue doing this work as best I can even while ill. It really is the thing that lights up my cells.

So let’s check in hey! How are those goals of mine going?

WOO HOO!!!

What a list!

I feel so massively inspired after going through all that… so much so I couldn’t sleep for hours after going to bed last night!

I really want to invite you to check back in with your own workbook goals (and if you haven’t done them yet – it’s totally not too late at all. It’s only too late if you don’t do them at all! We get lovelies investing in the workbook every single week!)

And if you decide to do a blog post/Instagram photo/Twitter about what goals of yours are coming true… make sure you let me know about it on FB, Twitter or Instagram and I’ll repost them so everyone else can get inspired too!

Whatever happens, do NOT write off the rest of the year, and say that if your goals haven’t happened yet they’ll never happen. Remember last year when I wrote off a goal as not going to happen… only for it to happen as a Christmas miracle?

You still have 25% of the year left… make the most out of it! SO much can happen in that time!!!!!

Let’s go make our miracles happen dearest!!!

So much love always,
