I have a lot figured out but I am still in process. ALWAYS. [Dream Status Report]

I am doing my Dream Status Report for this week to check in with myself and my dreams and what I need and what my dreams need, for the coming week.

Doing this, consistently over time, IS MAGIC.... this is where your dream becomes REALITY. This is where you stop and notice: How am I showing up? Is this working for me? What else might be needed? This is where we figure things out!! There is so much we can learn by witnessing our own process.

AND... Consistency is hard for most of us these days! So - I try to do this on Sundays, and write about it, to remind you to also take a few minutes to check in with yourself and your dreams. Do this with me!!

*Membership members: this practice works well with the Weekly Planning Sheet and Creative Genius Planning Sessions. If you want more progress and momentum with your dreams, you likely need to plan differently!

My bedding is in the wash, I have veggies roasting in the oven, and chickpeas cooking in the instant pot, later today I am going to make some mason jar salads for dinners for this week.

I"m feeling like... I am getting my life together!

I just took a deep breath, followed it into my body, and felt my whole chest release and expand and feel LIGHT. There is this way I feel when I feel like I have my life together - like mason jar salads in the fridge, house cleaned, errands done, fresh sheets on the bed, etc.

And I have been asking myself “Hey can you just feel that way while life is in process? Can we make a little space for that?” 

I am so inspired and excited about so many things right now and keep reminding myself to BREATHE and GROUND.

Let’s hold this excited energy in a gentle way.

Which is also connected to embracing my mid-life experience, accepting I am where I am, and working WITH my energy as it now instead of trying to figure out how to coerce my energy into being what it used to be so I can live the way I used to live, you know? There is a lot of MAGIC and POWER I have now that I didn’t have 10 years ago but I can only access it if I am living in tune with who I am now. 

As I reflect on my week I see: I am figuring a lot of stuff out AND I am in process. Always.

Earlier this year it felt like I was dragging my tasks and projects and ideas from one week to the next with little progress.

Now it's like every week more pieces come together, and more new pieces are revealed.

The thing is to TRUST THE PROCESS and KEEP SHOWING UP when you're in that little visible progress phase. Quitting at that point can do a lot of damage to vulnerable dream seeds that are just starting to sprout.

Remember the ALCHEMY of it all.

When we feel like we're not making any progress that usually just means we're not making measurable OUTER WORK progress. But incubating is a big step where you can't really see what's happening while it's happening. And alchemy works in mysterious ways.

And if you want to get there faster - GO DEEPER. Which means: go deeper into the Inner Work OR Dream Work. (Membership members - click those links! They lead to the Creative Dream Alchemy libraries of tools. Pick ANYTHING that feels appropriate for where you're at. Doing ANYTHING is always a bazillion times better than waiting to figure out "what's the right thing to do")

So - my Outer Work is really coming together and ideas are expanding and I feel energized and excited... BECAUSE I spent a lot of time going deeper into the Dream Work mostly, and Inner Work when I felt stuck.

I'm starting a new thing this week!

There's a thing on social media called OOTD - Outfit Of The Day. People just make a video sharing their outfit and talking about it.

Making my own clothes was a huge lifelong dream of mine and now that I am fully IN IT,  with a wardrobe that is 99% hand-made, and making more stuff all the time - this feels really fun to share.

AND creates a container to talk about self-expression, dreams, self care, authenticity, self doubt, healing, becoming the version of you that you know you really are on the inside even when you also feel afraid....

You know, everything we do here!

I did start this work by doing workshops, healing circles and spiritual counselling 100% IN PERSON, about a million years ago. Then in 2008 I started blogging and making videos and in 2011 I went full time with this internet business. So... I know how to share my work online... AND... how to share things online IN A WAY THAT THEY ARE SEEN BY PEOPLE is NOT the same in 2026 as it was in 2011.

The things that helped me get to where I am don't help at all now.

I keep experimenting with ways to show up on social media to create visibility for my work. Most of these experiments are just showing me more about what DOESN'T work but that's a good thing to learn too!

And right now these OOTD videos feel like an amazing idea to try next and I am excited about it. Like I feel like I am FINDING MY VOICE in 2026's social media landscape, as a 52 year old.

I am hoping to share my first one later today. We'll see how it goes, lol.

I'll share these on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.

Before I go - how are you doing with the Spring Cleaning plan making?

We are taking June to come up with a plan for how we want to HOLD ONTO OUR DREAMS for the rest of the year. We want to make space in our lives for the things that matter and bring us joy!

And we'll explore more on the  Make Space In Your LIFE For Your Dream call next week!

This is a 90 minute healing + alchemy circle. We'll look at everything from scheduling and practicalities to alchemy healing and magic.

And this one is available for free for anyone!
