For days all you see is the sea and sky.
Well apart from parts of the boat and the other crew members. The endless blues changes daily.
She is bright and vibrant, warm and inviting in one moment then the next she is darker, more sinister looking.
Clouds darkening the sky, and the waves rising higher.
Water cascading on board from the ocean below and the heavens above.
There is no escape.
You're out there in the endless blue, days weeks away from land. Enjoying each and every moment.
With books to read,
Lessons to learn,
Sun to soak up,
Dolphins to watch,
Oh! And there goes an albatross!
And is that a whale over there!? Being rocked to sleep, the sound of the ocean slapping against the hull, the patterns of the days waves embossed on the inside of your eyelids, and the warmth of the sun still on your skin. The air around you blessed by the salt sea air still in your hair, and the freshness you feel, even though you've not had a hot power shower for weeks, just a simple quick rinse, washing the important parts.
There's a calmness to you now.
Your soul is at peace,
As the endless blue captivates you,
Mesmerises you with her dazzling shimmer,
She is beautiful.
She is deep and alluring,
And oh how you wish to swim.
Maybe you will when you get to the halfway point,
And then you hear the rumble.
The rumble of the storm.
The sky darkens,
The gentle rolling of the boat turns into a rocking,
The sails fill with wind and the pace quickens.
Along with your heart beat.
What to do?
You're too far out to turn back, so forward and onwards is the only way.
Because you know after every storm there is the calm.
You either fight the natural way of things and struggle, or you go with the Divine plan and see what emerges.
You ride the waves.
You pass through the storm.
You thank the Divine.
You sit back with a good book.
Just you.
Your crew.
Your vessel,
Your mind with your thoughts either serving you or sending you crazy.
Your heart filled with love, or fear whichever you choose,
And your own soul, your gift from the Divine.
This is your time.
Time to be,
Time to expand,
Time to evolve,
Time to become just like the endless blue.
Ciao,
X Dawn

...CLIENT LOVE...⁠
⁠
Dawn is one of the most FIRE; authentic and beautiful women I have ever met.⁠
⁠
After having the pleasure of working with her 1 on 1 for multiple months now in a space of complete openness, it has enabled me to see and experience her work in a quantified state - being the message, the fire, the love, the unstoppable impact and the subsequent result from that with not only myself but those that she works with.⁠
⁠
I love you sister; deeply. Thank you for saying yes to your heart and creating such needed and powerful work in this world. ❤️⁠

You're not a CEO!
Oh how they laughed.
Oh how they mocked you.
Oh how they showed their true colours and were surprised when you walked away.
What do you mean you're leaving?
What do you mean we can't be friends?
I was only having a laugh.
And here's the thing.
'Having a laugh' or 'taking the piss' shows so much about what you really think of others.
A back-handed comment,
Call it a Freudian Slip if you will,
Says so much about us.
ALL.
How well do you know yourself?
Go on, ask yourself that question.
Well?
How well do you know yourself?
Put yourself in a new situation and how do you think you will respond?
How would you feel in that new situation?
You don't know, do you?
So how on earth can we tell what is going on inside someone else?
How on earth can we tell them what they are thinking, feeling and intending when we have no idea of how we would be and who we are right now!? Simple answer is this.
We can't.
We can only judge right here right now whether where we are is right for us.
And if someone else's lifestyle inspires or repels us,
Then we can look into what that means for US.
What does the lifestyle of another bring up for us?
Fears?
Excitement?
Worry?
Intrigue?
Motivation?
Self doubt?
Desires?
Are we afraid we are being left behind?
A fear of not knowing enough?
A fear of getting too old?
A fear of never finding love?
A fear of staying with the wrong person?
A fear of staying stuck?
Or are we excited about all that is truly possible now we have had our eyes opened wider than we ever thought possible?
Had our mind blown with possibilities?
And had our heart cracked open to receive even more love and happiness?
Whatever you think might be going on for others,
How easy you think it might be for others,
How silly they are being,
How exciting things might be,
Or how they might be feeling,
Check in with your own stuff first,
You may be pleasantly surprised at what you might find!
Enjoy the process and remember to live to laugh and laugh to live, because when you are laughing from deep within your soul, those who laugh at you won't even matter 😉
Ciao for now!
Dawn

You say you want to write, and wouldn't know where to start.
You say you can ́t dance, but you love music and a good boogie.
You say you can't draw, but you find yourself doodling all the time.
You say you can ́t cook, but you love to eat and are intrigued by the flavours of food.
Being good at these things really has nothing to do with your actual ability, and more to do with your confidence to have a go and be fully self expressed.
And in truth, the simple underlying fact is you either don’t want to because you are afraid of what others might think to your creations or you’re afraid of failing in one way or another.
Either way, you are afraid to dive into these art forms because if you really wanted to do it, you would have invested in lessons to learn the ‘how’. But even if you know how, and you are still not doing it, the fear of full self expression has you paralysed.
You know it does.
You express yourself through your clothing, your make-up, maybe even your vibrant hair colour.
You express yourself by having tattoos, body piercing or body sculpting in the gym.
You express yourself by sharing the funny videos, jokes and quotes on social media.
But are any of these really truly expressing who you are, or expressing the surface level stuff and other people’s abilities to create and inspire?
I would say the latter, and you might very easily say “It’s alright for you Dawn, you write so well and have the confidence to say what you think”
So embrace your writing.
Get messy with the paint.
Dance to the beat of your own heart naked around a fire if you want to.
Unleash your own flavours in the kitchen,
But whatever you do,
BE YOU.
And such a beautiful experience it is too!
With love from the ocean,
Dawn xx
P.S. When you become fully self expressed, being you in every moment, that’s when you unlock the magic of living to laugh and laughing to live, and who doesn’t like to belly laugh!? In the 21 Day Vision Creation Challenge we we love to laugh, we love to create our world the way we want to, so why not join us and create your vision and create your vision being the very best, happiest version of self?

The Echo Chamber
Here that?
Hmm all that praise and recognition?
From all those people cheering you on?
All those who you are inspiring to take action in their lives which is making them happier,
Simply by being you.
Of speaking your beautiful mind,
Simply by finally not giving a rat's arse about what others think of you,
Showing up with your passion and fire,
Which radiates from that warm heart of yours, which is full of love and joy?
Hear them!
Because you are making a positive difference!
Because you are now following your Divine Purpose,
You are now listening to your own soul inspired instructions for life,
Rather than the instructions and guidance given by those who think they know what's best for you.
And guess what?
That echo chamber they speak of,
That's not an echo chamber.
That's your new reality.
Because you have chosen to finally be you.
To live your life on purpose and in purpose,
Doing what lights you up.
So just keep on being you,
Rising in your power,
Your positivity,
Your glory,
Your beauty,
And fulfil the mission you have set out upon,
Because the ones who think you are in this echo chamber are the ones who are wanting to keep you small,
Keep you contained,
Keep you 'in your place'
Keep you lower than them, because how dare you think you can rise above them!? How very dare you?
It's good to remain humble,
It's good to keep your feet on the ground,
But who said you couldn't take flight?
Or sail the seven seas of the world?
Who said you had to fear your own greatness?
Who said you had to follow their rules?
Did you sign a contract when you were born saying you were going to follow stupid rules made up by egotistical men and women who have no idea whom you are or what you are capable of?
No, I didn't think so.
So go and enjoy that chamber of secrets,
Go and enjoy discovering yourself in this new realm of possibility and positivity,
You were born for this,
And so much more!
And remember the Universe has your back,
And more importantly,
You are loved,
Supported and protected more than you will ever realise. ❤️ Dawn
