Want To Shine A Light On Your Creative Power?

Want to tap into a feeling of more creative freedom and ease this summer? 

Why not take a cue from the sunflower and reach toward the light? 

When things on your to-do list start to feel overwhelming, difficult or unappealing try lightening them up by asking yourself these questions: 

* What's one small way I can make this easier?

* What's one small way I can make this more fun?

* What's one small way I can make this more doable? 

* What's one small way I can reward myself when I've finished?

It's amazing how asking ourselves these simple questions can help shift our perspective and shine a light on a whole new way of looking at situations and responsibilities that have us feeling bummed out, bogged down or blue.

You can post it on your desk, tape it to your fridge, keep a copy in your car, or add one to your day planner  to help you remember you have the power to lighten things up. All you have to do is ask!

Another easy way to embrace a summer that feels light, fun and free is get yourself a copy of my Create the Summer of Your Dreams Kit. 

Until next time, here's to tapping into your own sunflower power and reaching toward the light!

This Was Going To Be A Surprise But...

That's right! In just 10 minutes a day (or less) you can enjoy a more relaxing, creatively fulfilling and fun summer.

Yesterday I was putting the finishing touches on a surprise thank you gift for everyone who purchases a "Create the Summer of Your Dreams" Kit ~ when I realized surprises are great, but you need to know this now!

This special gift, a Create the Summer of Your Dreams Check List, breaks down the entire kit into ten simple steps that you can easily enjoy one to ten minutes at a time. Totally doable, right?

Next to each small step on the check list I've put the approximate time it will take to complete that step so you'll know what to expect and how to easily weave time with your kit into your summer days.

You've heard me talk about how the "Create the Summer of Your Dreams Kit" can help you envision and enjoy a summer filled with creative delights, restful relaxation and fun. Now you know how easy it will be to do just that.

Grab your kit here now and in addition to your check list gift, you'll also be invited to join me for  a FREE Let's Get Started Q & A Call I'm sharing June 11, 2015. (This Early Bird Bonus offer ends at midnight CST, Tuesday June 9, 2015.)

I can't wait to dive right into the kit with you on the Q & A Call and send your surprise gift (okay, so it's not really a surprise anymore) Check List to help you start creating your dream summer right away ~ 10 minutes (or less!) at a time. 

All the best from my dreamy summer Creative Oasis to yours,

Video Invite for Fall 2014 Creative Oasis Class and Workshops

(Click above to watch my invitation to join Fall 2014 Creative Oasis Classes & Workshops.)

I have no doubt that you are busy, busy, busy!

I'm willing to bet that you have a to-do list a mile long.

I'm guessing dozens of people from family members to co-workers to friends demand your time and attention on a daily basis.

Am I right in assuming that you wish you had more time for yourself? 

More time for fun, interesting creative endeavors and experiences?

Here's the thing...time does fly! Quickly!

I just had a baby girl yesterday who started her freshmen year in high school this week! That's how quickly time flies. (Still doing my best to wrap my head around that one!)

So, if it feels difficult to take time for yourself, 

for enjoying creative pursuits for the pure fun of it, 

for trying new creative endeavors 

or simply exploring the possibilities just to see what's out there, 

why not take a moment to step back and ponder the sentiment below?

If a little voice in the back of your mind says 

"that sounds so good, but I can't because... (insert your excuse of choice here!)" I really hope you'll check out my 

Fall 2014 schedule of Creative Oasis classes and workshops 

and register for at least one that sounds good to you.

(Choose from in-person workshops and classes in Dallas and a teleclass & coaching via phone.) 

Because at the end of the day (and more importantly at the end of our lives) we'll remember the joyful experiences that make our hearts sing and time fly...not the millions of tasks we efficiently check off our to-do lists. 

I can pretty much guarantee that no one will starve and no major catastrophe will befall your household while you take a few hours for yourself to enjoy some fun, low-pressure creative play with me! (Click here to see all of your class options here.)

In fact, what the wonderful women (and men) who work and play with me prove time and again is when they give themselves permission to explore their Creative Oasis, they end up happier, healthier and even nicer in all areas of their lives. 

(Something all those people vying for your time and attention are sure to appreciate.)

Don't know what your Creative Oasis is? I can help you discover yours.

Know exactly what you want to do but feel stuck by procrastination, perfectionism and overwhelm? 

I'll share ways to move past those very common blocks (you're not alone!) and into a place where creative fun and fulfillment become a part of your life you enjoy on a regular basis. Like flossing, but way more fun.

Have questions about which class or workshop or coaching package might be the best fit for you? Drop me a line atcreativeoasiscoach@me.com and I'll get back to you asap to discuss!
