Aug 7/22 - How to create a life you will fall in love with…I did it and you can too!

Here's a slideshow of where I have been in one year!
I've been travelling for ONE YEAR already!

August 7 - How to create a life you will fall in love with...I did and you can too!
In France this week reflecting on the past 365 days of my new life!

I left Summerland July 31, 2021 to follow my passion of writing a book series and now its Aug 1, 2022 and it's been an amazing year of going to inspiring places to write the Holistic Health Series.

At one time my dream of writing seemed impossible, but I kept going, kept manifesting, kept working towards the goal of having the freedom to take a couple of years off and write.

It happened for me and it can happen to you too!

Creating a life that you will love takes some perseverance and a clear goal in mind.
PLUS the biggest one…patience!
Patience is not my  but I never give up and that’s how I believe dreams become reality.
So where do you start?

I used to be a travel agent so I knew
I wanted to travel while writing!

So where do you start?
Here’s what I did to make my dreams come true…

HAVE A CLEAR GOAL - What do you want?
This is a question you might already know or might really need to think about but you need to be clear as to what you want or how will the universe know what to do to help you get there?

For me, I knew my goal was to write this book series based on my clinical practice in holistic nutrition AND to travel the world while writing the books. Once you have a goal, you need a plan!

START PLANNING - You have to have a plan! 
So you have a goal, now what’s the plan to get there? Planning is key. Breaking things down to manageable goals is the only way to make things happen.

For me, I knew I needed to sell my ranch to travel and write but that was an OVERWHELMING thought so I broke it down. I started selling stuff, I started to finish the renovations, I started taking small steps to getting my ranch ready to sell. This happened over 3 years…so patience was also something I had to learn!

This was my tea cup at the ranch in 2019
I reminded myself daily of my dream!

SEE IT & BELIEVE IT - Start imagining that life!  
You absolutely need to SEE yourself in your new life. This is SO important! Your dream life might be 5,10 years away but if you see it the Universe will guide you in that direction. Just be open to the signs, always have your goals in mind so it's easier to see and believe!

For me, I started planning my book series, the titles, and the concept 6 years ago.I grabbed the domain names and social media names for the Holistic Health Series back in 2016! I started making notes on the books for years and years while I was in practice. I would also go into book stores and imagine my books on the shelves. I started looking up places in the world I knew I wanted to travel to, I looked up airline prices, hotels, like I was planning the trip already. I literally started planning my new life…again, it's never too early to plan!

NEVER EVER GIVE UP - Just keep going!
Perseverance, determination will keep your dream alive! This is where having your goals and plan written down so its out of your head and on paper or in your computer helps. There will be obstacles and challenges and sometimes it might seem like an impossible dream but again it goes back to having a clear goal, taking the steps to plan for that to happen and seeing and believing it! It will come together, just don’t give up!

For me, in 2018 I ran into a major roadblock where I questioned if my dream of having the time to write 50 books all at once would ever happen but I had to shake that feeling off and just kept plugging away, day by day. Prior to 2018 my dream was just in my head. When I started to question myself, that's when, instead of giving up, I came up with the plan and started to believe it would happen.

HAVE PATIENCE - The biggest one…patience!
Patience is not my “thing”. I get frustrated, I want things to happen right away but that just isn’t the case. Learn to take things day by day…just make sure you are doing something EVERY day to keep the dream alive, even if you just imagine it for a few minutes that day, keep the dream alive!

For me, I needed to finish renovating my house before I could even sell it. If I didn’t sell it I couldn’t take time off to travel and write so keeping the end goal in mind allowed me to have patience (as best as I could anyway!) but in the end it all worked out and I am writing this from a castle in France and living my dream.

These books are finally coming to life and I couldn't be happier! The Holistic Health Series is a collection of “Handbooks for Holistic Health” containing holistic wellness protocols, specific to individual issues, using natural methods incorporating the mind, body and spirit to help people live a happy, healthy life.

Thank you for following my journey to writing a book series!
Stay balanced,
