In almost every presentation or workshop I give, I ask what people want and I always get answers like “I want more money, I want more time, I want more happiness…”

I want more!

Have you ever asked yourself what you want, I mean what you really want?

Hi, my name is Barbara Hofmeister and I help people re-discover their dreams and gain the courage and understanding to make them come true.

All too often we are stuck in a life that flatlines; in a life that does not satisfy us, that does not give us what we want and one of the main reasons is that we don’t really know what we want. We know there has to be something more to life than our daily routine and we long for this more. More meaning, more appreciation, more purpose…

When have you last taken the time to really look inside to find the answer to this important question? I asked a good friend on our hike yesterday and she gave me her goals for the next few months and called that her vision. That is not a vision, those are stepping stones, steps on the way to… WHAT?

To MORE, I know

…but if you want more, you first have to make space so you can contain that more. Does that make sense? We all have too much going on and the only way to set you free for more is by creating physical and mental space because that will open you up for the more you crave.

So, let’s start with the physical, with uncluttering …

            

Start with a few drawers, even clearing out one drawer, one cupboard, one closet will give you a first taste of freedom and the motivation to do more.

Why don’t you share some before and after photos in our “BoldNeverOld” group? I cleared a cluttered kitchen draw before going live with this message. Not the best examples as we need a drawer with all the small bits and pieces in the kitchen but now I can find everything again 😊 I wanted to actually feel the joyful emotion of freeing space before speaking to you.

How was it for you? Where did you start?

The great business philosopher Jim Rohn always said: “To get more, you have to become more.”

 

That is probably the reason why the Million Dollar Lotto winners are usually broke again after a few years. They have not become “more” first. Let’s make sure that this does not happen to you.

 

Have you heard of the Westerner that goes to a monastery in Tibet and asks the monk there how he can become more. The monk says nothing but pours him a cup of tea. However, when the cup is full he keeps pouring and soon there is tea all over the small table.  The Westerner calls out to stop. The monk looks at him, then points to the flooded table and says: “This was your first lesson. You Westerners cram your life so full that your cup constantly overflows and still, you ask for more.”

 

So, first things first, and that is to create space and time freedom in your busy life so you can actually grow and become more. Yeah, yeah, I know. You want it NOW but unfortunately that is not how it works. You will get it when your foundation is solid and that foundation is to create the space for the MORE you desire.

 

Obviously, if you are one of the few who actually is super organized and does not keep anything that is not needed, congratulations! You don’t need to do today’s exercise. I personally love to keep stuff and need to de-clutter on a regular basis and by now, I know how it is done 🙂

 

Clutter are all the things you do not really need but keep, for later reference or sentimental reasons. My weak spot are piles of documents and notebooks and books that I want to go through when I have time (do we ever?) and it piles up fast.  It piles up on my desk, my kitchen table, my sofa corner, sometimes even my bedside table and every few weeks I sift through the piles and organize myself again.

 

For my closet I get help from my niece once or twice a year. She is very pragmatic and after all, it’s not her stuff, so there is no attachment and quite often we find something she likes for herself 🙂

 

At the end of the day, not only are my closets spacey, but we are both happy and I have a pile of lovely things I can give to those less fortunate. Win-win all around.

 

What feels or looks cluttered in your environment – Your garage, your home, your workspace, your drawers, your closets, your car, maybe even your life? Start clearing it out.

 

You probably do not want to do it all at once. Do it one small step at the time and while doing it ask yourself:

  • How often have I used this in the last year?
  • When has this last brought me joy?
  • Does this bring me joy now?

 

If you have not used it for a while and it does not really bring you joy, get rid of it. Sell it or donate it but make sure it leaves your space.

 

Once done, you are not only going to feel really proud of yourself but you will actually physically feel the difference. It’s a very powerful exercise!

 

En-JOY!

Your guide Barbara

First of all, I wish you a very HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!

Did you set New Year Resolutions? Do they sound and feel good? I hope they do because you will need the emotion to keep you moving towards achieving them.

I always say that you can only go as far as your confidence let’s you. Apart from the obvious what do I mean with that?

In the film ‘The Secret’ it is said that the Law of Attractions works as follows: ask – believe – receive. Which part of these 3 steps do you think is our biggest challenge? The believe part of course.

We normally have no problem asking and when we get what we want, we also have no problem receiving but we do have a big issue with believing. And it is here where we also have our challenges when we set goals.

So let’s look at some scientific facts to help understand the reason why so few of us reach the goals we have set for ourselves. Scientists found that only 2-4 % of what we do actually comes from our conscious mind. This is where our willpower and persistence originates from. But 96-98 % of what we think and do comes from our non-conscious. Most people do not achieve their goals because their 2-4% willpower and persistence against an overwhelming 96-98% is just not strong enough. We are driven by our non-conscious mind or as it is called in neuroscience our implicit memory system.

Let me explain. Our implicit memories are locked in our subconscious. They consist of memories necessary to perform events and tasks or to produce a specific type of response or emotion. Driving a car becomes an implicit memory once it has become automated but these implicit memories cannot be looked up or remembered so we cannot use them for conscious actions or reasoning.
That is why the “believe” part of the Law of Attraction is so omni-important. As soon as we truly believe that we can achieve/be/have whatever it is we desire, the emotion, this feeling of ‘knowing’ that it will happen, will actually help us make it happen. It activates the 96 – 98 % non-consciousness to act in our favor. And when that happens we become truly unstoppable!

So instead of beating yourself up when you do not reach your goals find the WHY you want to reach it. Find the true reasons, the ones that get you excited and your blood boiling and focus on that. If you believe you can achieve – you will! If your why is strong enough, the how becomes easy.

Happy achieving!
Barbara

Are we grateful enough? Do we feel gratitude and appreciation? Do we see all the good around us?

I often wonder when I listen to the moaning and groaning of people. Unless you give the conversation another direction it seems all they want to do is complain about what is going wrong in their life, most of the time blaming others.

Don’t get me wrong, sometimes we have to let everything that is eating us up out but it cannot be the main objective of a conversation and of course even less that of a coaching session.

We all have so much to be grateful for.

I don’t know you personally but I do know that…

  • You have at least a decent education; otherwise you would not be able to use a computer to find this blog.
  • You have a computer or smartphone and access to an internet connection.
  • If you read this at work, you can be grateful to have work
  • If you read this in school or Uni, you can be grateful to get an education.
  • You probably have a roof over your head and some food to put into your tummy.
  • You probably have friends who love and respect you for who and what you are.
  • …and the list can go on…

However, not everybody has this and still, we tend to take all the good we have for granted and focus on what we don’t have or what isn’t working. A negative mindset goes a long way towards an unsatisfactory life.

I have a long list of things I am grateful for and whenever life doesn’t seem to play the way I want it to or I feel a little down I go through my list and my mood changes instantly. This morning I woke up to the most glorious sunrise. Isn’t that something to be grateful for?

There are so many small beautiful things we take for granted until they are not there anymore. Take some time out and notice all things and people you can be grateful for in your life and write start your personal gratitude journal. Carry it with you or have it close at hand because it will motivate and inspire you whenever you need a little uplift.

Abundant Blessings

Does that sound morbid to you?

Why are most of us so afraid of death? It’s part of life, isn’t it?

Nobody knows when their time will come to pass on and apart from trying our best to live a healthy, good life there is nothing much we can do about this. But we can and we must do something about how we live today!

What we do today determines who and what we will be tomorrow!

There is not point crying for what has happened in the past because we can’t change that anymore. And there is no point in planning what we will do in the future unless we take the action steps to fulfill those plans.

The only time we can change is our present. We have to live today and be our Best; we have to take the right actions today to get what we want want from life. We have no time to wait until tomorrow because tomorrow might never come.

I have never heard of anyone who complains about having done too much in his life (I have heard of people who complain about having worked too much) but I heard many people who regretted not having done things they have always wanted to do while they still could.

Go out and do what you want to do NOW! Don’t wait for the perfect moment. It might never come. You have to start doing the small things you want to do in order to be ready for the big things you dream of doing. Because there will never be a big bang if you don’t start creating small bangs before.

Did I tell you about that postcard on my desk?

“Follow your dreams. Take one step at the time…
Don’t settle for less, just continue to climb.”

I am going for a little climb onto my house mountain today (see picture). I have been wanting to do that for a long time.

Have a glorious day

Let me share a post I read in a forum. It was about self-consciousness and being good enough:


I decided that I’d go to McDonald’s to get some food. Now I’m not overweight, but I do like McDonald’s and I work a lot so there are times when I end up there too often. On my way there I couldn’t decide which one to go to.
The reason, you ask?

Well, I thought that maybe the lady from one of the drive-thrus would remember me, and the fact that I’d been there three times this week. I, therefore, considered going to the other McDonald’s in the area. I had to overcome my fear of encountering the McDonald’s employee and I did it. The question is, why the hell do I have to overcome it? I didn’t even know the lady at the window, and even if I did, so what? Nevertheless, things like this run through my mind and they bother me.

Moving on, I got my food at McDonald’s and then I drove home. Before leaving the car I was paranoid about whether or not to put the bag in my briefcase so that people from my apartment wouldn’t see that I was eating at McDonald’s. Now that I’m writing about it it’s kind of funny, but I’m dead serious about this. A thought such as, “They’re gonna see that I’ve visited McDonald’s three times this week and I’m not eating properly”. Who the hell cares, right?


Yes, that is right! Who cares?

Because we take ourselves serious doesn’t mean other people do too. Because we feel so important, doesn’t mean others feel we are important enough for them to spend their thoughts on us. Being self-conscious is usually about feeling guilty or not good enough.

If we perform poorly (not up to our own expectation or what we know we “should” do) we look around us to see if anyone else has noticed. For instance, you can’t get into a parking space and have to go back and forth several times. If you feel bad about that you will look around to see who has been watching and should there be someone you will feel worse. But why should you care? Do you think the others never had this happen to them? And how do you know what they think or feel when they look your way? They might admire your car or admire you as you get out, or their thoughts could be on a completely different topic altogether while glazing your way accidentally.

I met a young woman at one of my seminars who told me about her life’s purpose and her vision. She was very clear about it and well on her way to make them come true and just as I was going to tell her how much I admire the direct road she is traveling; she said she feels so small and insignificant next to me. I was completely shocked. Why couldn’t she see how much good she was doing already?

It was because she was comparing herself to people she looked up to. Her expectations on herself were so high that she could hardly fulfill them. So she became self-conscious, criticized herself and felt she was just not good enough.

What a lot of nonsense!

If you have to beat yourself up, then at least do it over something where you really screwed up (like burning your house down because you left the iron on) but never because you don’t fulfill your own XXL super-sized expectations. If you feel you are not achieving enough or are not good enough, talk to a true friend and ask them what they think about you. In most cases, you will be really surprised how highly your friends value you. But in all cases, it will give you a different perspective to look at!

You are good enough!

We are all good enough!

Love life and life will love you

During the last 3 weeks, we have talked about the importance of knowing exactly what you want. if you have followed each step, you have defined and fine-tuned your purpose, discovered all your strengths and weaknesses and created a vivid vision of your future. By now you should know what you want your future to look like. Do you?

Today I did a Facebook live video session. You can watch it in our Facebook group. If you have further questions, feel free to ask any time in the group. Please, know that I will be offline on vacation the next 5 days. After that, I will answer any questions you might still have. Make sure to post them in our facebook group asap.

So you now know what your future can look like if you take action. You have probably heard that you must take massive action. I disagree. We usually overestimate how much we can get done in a year but we vastly underestimate how much we can get done in 2, 3, 5 years when we know where we are going and take it – step by tiny step. I am sure you have heard the saying:

You don’t have to see the whole staircase to take the first step. 

You should actually now know what is waiting for you at the end of the staircase. You should now know the big picture of your future but probably not all of the steps necessary to get there. If you haven’t,  now is the time to take the first steps. If that feels overwhelming, break it down further until you have a few tiny steps that do not frighten you and that you can tackle right away.

Let’s say you want to help build schools or wells or an orphanage in a desolate third world country. Just an example, there is also plenty to do back home. Whatever you want to do, make a decision if you want to raise money or donate your own or maybe you want to take active part and travel to the country to physically help. Whatever you decide, there are steps to take.  If you want to travel, you will need to find out what it is like in that country, if there are organizations that are already doing what you want to do that are looking for helping hands. All of the research can be done from home, online and via phone. You will need a passport and maybe a visa and so on. Those are small steps you can start taking immediately.

You see, most people wish, desire, pray… for a better life. They ask for things to “get better” and believe that there is nothing they can do until that happens but that is not true. We always have a choice. We can always do something to change things but if you are still vague about your goals, aspirations, and purpose, we should talk. You need clarity, total clarity.

Remember, your mind cannot distinguish an actual experience from a fantasy, from a dream. That has been scientifically proven with Top Athletes. Consequently, if you did the exercise yesterday and now have a clear vision of what your future will look like, your mind and your heart (your subconscious which is about 95% of what is happening inside of you) becomes fooled into believing you are already there and allows you to skip the struggle and get right to it. Great, isn’t it? If you believe in what you are doing, so will the universe. 🙂

I might sound like a broken record but it is vital that you get this. In Psycho-Cybernetics they call it watching your mental movie. Watch the movie of your ideal life of who you want to be before getting out of bed in the morning and as you drift off to sleep at night. Make it a habit to daydream and start taking those tiny steps we talked about earlier.

Don’t listen to your excuses!

They might feel valid and convincing reasons BUT I assure you, they are just excuses. We have become so good at them. it is up to you to do it anyway, right? Tiny, little step by tiny, little step. The more tiny steps you take the more motivated you will be to go all the way.

You want to exude who you want to become and to do that, you need to see it, hear it, taste it, smell it and above all feel it. You have to be totally clear on where you are going, otherwise, every little obstacle will stop you.

What can stop you?

Only YOU can! Your own thoughts and the following action (or non-actions) are your greatest challenge. 

And this is where I want to support you big time. I invite you to join me in in our upcoming 7-week+ action coaching “Living into your Purpose” coaching program. For 7 weeks we will work closely together to make your dreams come true.

How will it work?

Every week we will meet twice. Both times in a live conference room online so no matter where you are, you can join.

One meeting is for learning purposes. I will teach a short action module aimed at moving your forward, towards your goals and dreams and we will do a live hot seat.

The second meeting of the week is a Question & Answer meeting, where you can ask me any question around living your dream life. life.

In all cases, you will get coaching, brainstorming, group support and real accountability. This is a pilot program that I will do for a tiny group of people so you will get direct access to me and I will make sure all your questions are answered and you are moving forward.

Because it is a pilot program, the price will be extraordinarily low – only $197.00 for the full 7 weeks plus 6 months follow up.

BEWARE! This is a ONE-TIME-ONLY offer and will never be offered at this price again!!!

We will start in September. All meetings will be recorded if you need to miss one, you will still get all the content.

Here is what we will do in those 7 weeks PLUS 6 months 

Week 1- Your Vision

In the first week, we will look at the big picture. You will discover your purpose and create a clear vision of your future based on your calling and your core values, skills and desires.

Week 2 – Your Plan

This week we will break your vision of your intentional future down into small, achievable steps, planning backward from the desired end result. You will start to “eat the elephant” one bite at the time.

Week 3 – Your Actions

This week is action week. You will take the first few action steps towards your dreams and you will have an accountability partner. Being accountable gives you a much higher chance of success.

Week 4 – Your WHY

This week you will become aware of your WHY. My mentor, Jim Rohn used to say: “If the why is strong enough, the how becomes easy.” Knowing your why will boost your motivation and courage for the long term.

Week 5 – Next Level

Time to work on your mindset, build your courage and confidence to make sure you believe in yourself. You will get bolder, go bigger and we will adjust your plan accordingly.

Week 6 – First Results

By now you have created some momentum and will see the first results so we can fine tune your goals and future action steps to get you to your destiny. We will look at what works and what needs improvement and will brainstorm solutions.

Week 7 – Your Future

We are now in the last week of our intensive 7-week LIVING INTO YOUR PURPOSE course. We will analyze your results, set goals for the next 6 months and celebrate your wins!

Plus Bonus Sessions

After the 7-week course, I will do an extra follow-up/accountability session once a month where we will look at where you are at. How far have you come? What stops you from moving further? What are the next steps? What did you learn – about yourself, about your purpose, about your life?

After 6 months you will get another bonus session to summarize your learnings, celebrate your wins and see how far you have come and how I can support you further

This is a highly personalized program for only a handful of people to make sure you get the maximum results.

Everything, including personal hot-seat coaching in our 7-week program

Plus 6 Q & A calls

Plus Bonus # 1 – Value $1500

5 x Monthly Accountability and Q&A call

Plus Bonus # 2 – Value $300

The 6-months deadline bonus call

(Total Value $2,797.00)

Regular Price  $ 997

Pilot Program valid for first 6 – only $ 197.00

After that price will go up by $100 for each registration, maximum participants 12

This program will sell for $ 997.00 in the future and it will be worth every penny and more but because this is a new program, the first 6 will get this crazy bargain here 🙂

I’m sure throughout this challenge you’ve been thinking a lot about living with purpose and what that means to you right now. Hopefully, you’re living more intentionally already and are changing things here and there to better align with your purpose. You may even have discovered your calling and are working towards making that happen. Congratulations if that is the case. I would love to help you make that happen. It is what I live for and what I help my coaching clients happen.

Yesterday, I gave you some tools to gain more certainty in who you truly are. You were able to discover your characteristics, strengths, and areas you might need to look out for. For me, these assessments were real eye openers. With both Numerology and the 16personalities, you have received detailed readings of your personality. Today we want to look into your future.

You clearly belong to the thoughtful and valiant. You might not have acknowledged it but you are an extraordinary human being. There are not many that would have come this far. Did you know that about 90% of people give up on their personal growth so YES, YOU ARE SPECIAL!  

Let’s now look at creating your ideal future – the purpose why you are here, the WHY that drives you.

In the dictionary, “purpose” is defined as “an inner calling to pursue an activity or perform a service.” It is also called a vocation or a calling.

 

  • What is your calling?
  • What is your vocation?
  • What is your purpose?
  • Why are you here?

What do you feel when you think of the word purpose? Are you looking forward to living a purpose driven life or does it make you hesitant, maybe even afraid?

Remember, there is nothing to worry about. We are here to let our light shine and thinking big is actually easier than thinking small once you get used to it. So let’s start to think forward, always with the end results in mind. Let’s now define what your purpose is. Try to define it in one or two sentences. You can be anything as long as you really want to be, do or have that.

Let’s now make a declaration.

I, ………………………………….., declare that my purpose in this life is ………………………………………………………………………………………

Here is my purpose declaration as an example:

“My purpose is to show people that they always have a choice in life. I do this by helping them rediscover their life’s purpose and gain the courage to start living it.”

Have you finished yours?   Share it with us so it is a real declaration.

How does it make you feel?

Are you feeling happy with defining your purpose or do you still have questions?

If you do still have questions, feel free to ask them in our facebook group or book a few coaching sessions if you need more clarity.

You might ask yourself why I am pounding so much on the importance of knowing your purpose? I am doing it because the secret to success is easy to realize once you are clear on your purpose. Your purpose and your core values are the driving force in your life. They are your motivation even when times look glum. It has to be clear enough to draw you past those rapids that will for sure turn up while you are traveling towards your destiny. Dwell on your purpose until you are 100% clear.  I will share a very powerful exercise with you that will help you massively in case you are not there yet.

I call it creating a vivid vision. If you did get my book the other day, you will find it from page 26 to 37. It is too much to copy it here but if you are a participant of my CLARIFY YOUR PURPOSE challenge, I will send it to you. Just let me now in our group. Here I will summarize it plus share a 9-minute video that describes a similar process.

Before you can cherish your vivid vision, you have to define it in great detail.  It all starts with a vague idea of what you want your future to look like. Then, the clearer you get in your mind, the more detailed you will get and the better you can visualize it. Like an architect starts with an idea for a building, then draws a draft followed by a detailed blueprint and all this before the building is even started. The same here. The vision for your future has to be crystal clear to you before you will actually make it happen.

So, imagine that you are living your dream. Imagine what it will be like in every little detail if all were as you would love it to be. See it in as much detail as possible, use all your senses. Where are you, what are you doing, who are you with etc. Don’t hold back. After all, it’s only a dream 🙂

Close your eyes and start to visualize your dream life, the life when you live intentionally and driven by your purpose and values. Be prepared to enjoy yourself!

  • Where are you 5 years from now?
  • What is life like?
  • Who are you with?
  • What do you do?
  • How do you look?
  • How do you feel?
  • How is your health?
  • What about your wealth?
  • what is your state of mind?
  • What is top of mind?
  • What are you working towards?
  • What have you achieved?
  • What are you celebrating?
  • What is happening 5 years from now?
  •  …

Hear, smell, see, taste and above all FEEL what it is like to live your purpose. Dwell on it for a little while and really feel the feeling, then start to write it all down.

On the ………………………….(date 5 years from today) I…………………………………………………………………………………………………

My favorite marketing guru, Frank Kern, gave a 2-hour presentation on the importance of knowing what your ideal life looks like. He talks about how he manifested his ideal life. It is not the same but similar to my vivid vision so I am sharing the 9-minute summary of his 2-hour presentation. The video was taken just before he cut his hair and turned from surfer dude to business man. Don’t judge by appearance. Frank is the highest paid marketing guru in the world and I really love what he does.

Enjoy and do yourself the favor of actually doing this. I would love to hear your findings.

Tomorrow is our big FINALE!  I will do a Facebook live at 9am PST, 6pm CEST, 5pm UK time . Send me your questions and insights beforehand so I can answer everything.

Big hug

Barbara

We are on the home run. Only 3 days to go and I have a lot of surprises in store for you in these last 3 days 🙂

Did you do your FREE Numerology Reading yet? If not, you’ve got to do it. It’s amazingly accurate and will give you some wonderful insights into who you are.

Ok, that was gift #1

Now back to the challenge

Where are you?

Where do you want help?

I can only help you if you share your insights and questions with us or book some 1 on 1 time with me. Your choice. I am here for you.

Let’s go into Lesson 19 of 21

Avoid Temptations And Wrong Paths Along The Way

We’ve been talking about living with purpose for quite some time. By now you should have thought quite a bit about what you may want to change or tweak in your own life to live more intentionally and with more purpose. Ideally, you will have started to incorporate some of those ideas and are starting to live more purposefully.

Old habits are hard to break and it’s not uncommon to slip back into familiar behavioral patterns that no longer align with your wish to live more intentionally. I mentioned my near 11 years off track in an earlier post. However, I never completely forgot it. So once you remember or rediscover your purpose you can’t completely forget it.  it will keep knocking even though there will always be things and people tempting you to stray from your path. You may have the best of intentions to be more patient and understanding with your kids but on a busy day when they seem determined to push all your buttons and test the limits of that new patience, your intentions will be challenged. It happens. Life is messy and there will always be things that go wrong and people who intentionally or unintentionally try to lead you down the wrong path. I am telling you this so that you are aware.

The best way to deal with temptations or detours is to expect them. They are going to show up sooner or later. If they surprise you, you will be more likely to give in. If you know they are coming, you can guard yourself better against them. Learn from each temptation and realize that each one you avoid makes you stronger and more determined to stay your course.

However, even with the best intention and our guard up against temptation we can end up heading down the wrong path and end up in a dead end. Life happens and when it does, we no longer hear our calling. Without a clear purpose and solid intentions to live our life around it, it becomes easy to get off course. We have to find a way to make sure we can get back on track and realign ourselves with the purpose we’ve chosen.

Many ways lead to Rome (to your purpose, I mean). Here are a few of them

I will offer you two ways today and another two or three tomorrow. All are powerful and I suggest you use them all because they are so different.

The first two are assessments. They differ very much from each other as one is a reading to get to know yourself better and understand where your actions or inactions come from. I have just found this recently but have started using it with my clients and the insights they get into their personalities are amazing. Obviously, I did it for myself first and the answers I got blew me away. It was so spot on. It will give you powerful insights of why you do what you do and who you are. For me, some of these insights I got from this reading and from the assessment I will share with you tomorrow, were life changing because I finally fully accepted that I am perfect as I am. That there is nothing wrong with me. It is the way I am made and instead of beating myself up for what was not working so well, I now celebrate all the great strengths I have. Very powerful! And you will get these resources for free!

Ok, here they are:

  1. Numerology – Numerology is the science of numbers that is thousands of years old. It works with your birthdate and your full birth name. You have to try it. It takes less than 5 minutes and you will get a very thorough report. Actually, it is a bit spooky because the readings are so spot on accurate. Click here and it will take you straight there.
  2. 16 Personalities  –  get a ‘freakishly accurate’ description of who you are and why you do things the way you do. This is modern day science but both will be super revealing in different ways.

Both of these will help you understand and accept yourself better and it will also help you understand others. I can’t wait to hear your insights. For now, enjoy yourself doing this. It is so much fun and soooooooooooooooo revealing 🙂

Over the next two days, you will receive more nice gifts and tools that will help you discover yourself fully and move into living your purpose fully.

Thanks for being such a loyal follower. Thanks for letting me guide you.

Thanks for being you! <3
