Today is the last day of my e-course Big Dreams, Small Wonders. For the last 4 weeks, 85 creative souls have been clearing, letting go, celebrating, dreaming, planning and putting a roadmap together to enable some great things to happen in 2011.
Many of us in this creative community have set intentions, words and themes for the year ahead and I know we all start the year off with such great energy. Goal setting and planning the year ahead, can be an exciting and challenging task and so much thought and open heart is put into such a process. One of the key things I have learnt in identifying my own dreams, drawing out my own roadmap and putting action plans into play, is that having some kind of accountability, support or community is what motivates us and guides us.
So I’ve decided (and am very excited) to introduce a new feature on my blog to support the lovely souls who have and will be attending the “Big Dreams, Small Wonders” e-courses this year AND all of you dreamers out there who have put dreams into the universe.
I’m pleased to introduce “Monthly Small Wonders” on my blog. It’s open to all to participate in (not just e-course participants).
Every month we will gather here to celebrate the Small wonders /accomplishments/proud moments from the month just passed and identify our key intentions and focus for the month ahead. Not only will we be “putting it out there” (an extremely brave thing to do), we will share and build a community of sisters (boys of course you are welcome too!) “making it happen” who will share, support, grow and celebrate together.
So here is the scoop!
- On the last day of every month, I will post my own “Small Wonders” for that Month and what I am focusing on for the month ahead (this is a way to hold myself accountable!). Any lessons learned, resources found and challenges to share with you.
- I will then invite you to do the same on the comments. This can be very high level without too much detail, but the main purpose is to voice and tell the universe what you are proud of from the past month and your intention for the month ahead. I will also invite you to join me in creating a Dream Board to visualize and support your intentions.
- We can then all visit each other to offer support, celebration and any key resources to share.
- If you write a more detailed blog post each month on your own “Small Wonders” and reflections, please feel free to also post a link so we can visit each other with congratulations and virtual celebrations.
- As the year progresses, we will share, support and celebrate our individual journeys and as a strong creative community, making Dreams Come True.
- Imagine what amazing dreams we can bring into our own worlds, through this supportive. sharing, motivating process.
- Will you join me? Let’s shout and celebrate from the rooftop and let the universe know we mean business this year. My first “Small Wonders – Jan/Feb” will be posted tomorrow – Jan 31st.
I am so excited to be hosting this every month and providing a platform for us to travel this journey together, Xx
This sounds wonderful Louise! I fell at the hurdle with the course as I am going through a stressful time at work. You could say the course came at a time I needed it most but energy and opportunity has been lacking. I'm not defeated and I am sure the coming weeks will bring big change. I plan to start over again and having this monthly prompt will be great to keep me focused and in touch. Thank you for the great idea 🙂
Count me in.
Fondly,
Glenda
Oooh, count me in. I have felt sad at the course ending so this makes me feel much better! Wonderful idea. ♥
That's such a fab idea, Louise. Thanks I will definately be joining in!
hello creative sister over the pond
your new initiative this is very much like the Celebrating Each Step day each month that i have been running on my blog (on the first Sunday of the month!) since July.The heart is the same – to look back on the month, celebrate, acknowledge and set some intentions for the month to come. But seeing your post, I am happy to wind that down and point people to Small Wonders instead as don't want to duplicate and sweet sister, you have pushed the boat out with your course so good on you! I want to have a non-competitive, open and sharing way of being in blog world and this is a step for me to embody that. xx
Oh Concetta, you don't have to wind yours down at all. We are spreading our joy together – across the pond. 🙂 There's plenty of room for both of our initiatives and I'm sure there are many more out there that are doing similar things on their blogs. For me, this is such a natural way to help the dreamers on my course continue as well as other creative souls who visit me here. (and keep myself accountable!) We all know how hard it is to stay on track sometimes. AND there's no competition at all, just partnership and sisterhood to help one other. xx
This is a fab idea Louise! Count me in! I notice you referred to people who 'will be doing' your e-course. Are you running it again in the future. I couldn't join this time because of our financial situation right now, but I am hopeful that this will improve soon and would love to join next time if there is a next time!!!

What a fabulous idea Louise!! Thank you for providing a way for everyone to continue our journeys together! Wini xo
Love this accounting each month, so what I need as I continue to catch up & move forward. Thanks, Louise.
Great idea Louise. It is so easy to charge ahead in pursuit of the big things, and forget to celebrate the important little things along the way

Dearest sweet Louise, your e-course sounds amazing and i will have to try to sign up for it when it comes available this year!
This is such an amazing idea and very inspiring. I would love to be a part of it too. Thank you so much for being such an inspiration to me.
Have a lovely merry happy day and love to you!
This is great Louise. It is great to have this bit of continuation from class. Looking forward to it.

dear Louise, really truly, it is ok. I want to signpost people to you and my nose is not remotely out of joint! I think that critical mass in these kind of initiatives is really helpful and I totally get why you are doing this, I honour the work you have done and happy to join in with you and help what you are doing succeed 🙂 I have been in organisational development for over 20 years and I know that it is ok for good initiatives to be let go of. Timing and priorities sometimes mean that it is right to let go. I have done it before and I am comfortable with it 🙂 All is well. xx
What a brilliant idea! It will be a great thread to keep up together and moving forward!
