Wander Woman: How high achieving women find contentment and direction

I just finished reading this fabulous book that made me feel like the author had been following me around and getting to know me better than I knew myself.  I kept finding myself saying, “Aha, so that’s why I do that!” and “So, I’m not crazy after all – other women feel this way, too.”  And stuff like that. 

Author Marcia Reynolds, PhD, has described me to a tee. 

And I believe that she may have your number, too. 

Check out her insightful book about women who want more out of life and who feel like it’s out there for them if they could only put their finger on what’s missing. 

Boy do I know that feeling!  That’s the reason I’m a life coach today – I had that feeling, found my own path to fulfillment, and now want to help other women find their path.

I had the good fortune to speak with Dr. Reynolds on a conference call just the other day along with a handful of other “wander” women. 
What a wonderful experience – to have a dialogue with the author of such an inspirational work!  Her energy and enthusiasm for spreading the work about all of us Wander Women seems to be limitless. 

Read it yourself and let me know what you think!

It occurred to me the other day that sometimes my efforts are scattered. 

Sometimes my dreams and goals feel jumbled. 

I tend toward piles – piles of ideas to develop, stacks of journals to write in, and multiple piles of books to read.  At times it seems they are strewn about my home and my life.  Huh.  And I wonder why I don’t feel like I’m moving forward?  I shouldn’t be surprised. 

I’m scattering my dreams all over the place, and not in a good way that will allow them to germinate in safe soil.

What if I created a sacred space for my dreams and goals?

What if I collected and honored my journals, my affirmations and intentions, my goals and dreams, my ideas? 

What if I made a point to keep them near me?  Doesn’t that sound beautiful and nurturing? 

I think my ideas and dreams can take root in such an environment.

I’m going to give it some thought and then create a treasure box for my aspirations and the physical representations of them. 

What do you think? 

Do you already have a gorgeous space for your dreams and journals?

Or do you feel inspired to create one? 

I’d love to hear your ideas.

I read an intriguing statement the other day that I want to share with you:

Treat your dreams as you would a garden – give them room to grow!

This is a wonderful analogy, especially for spring. So, here I am thinking about the basics of gardening and wondering how it applies to growing a dream. Of course, the first place I went for more information was the internet. And look what I found – a simple three step summary fo creating a garden. (http://www.kraftbrands.com/homefarming)
