it’s sunday – which means it’s creating dreams come true day. creating dreams come true is a free ongoing e-course and creative community to support you in living your dreams. if you are new, please feel free to join right in. the more creative dreamers the better!
we’ve done this before and we will do this again because it is so totally important.
we’re going to celebrate.
we’re going to celebrate our dreams no matter how close or far away they feel. we’re going to celebrate our progress, no matter how big or small it is. we’re going to celebrate ourselves no matter where we’re at in all of this.
because just stepping onto this path is an act of bravery.
and sometimes we get caught up in where we’re going next and what we want to do next and how afraid we are and we forget how far we’ve come and how brave we’ve been and how much we’re already accomplished.
just admitting that you have a dream is a huge accomplishment. let’s remember that and relax into it. remember that we are already successful creative dreamers.

I’m celebrating the fact that I started the new workshop today! Doing the workbook I realized that when I think of the four year old me, I can connect with the authentic self who needs support, understanding and validation. She loves to make art, dance and sing and walk in grass barefoot. And she’s me! I had forgotten. Thanks, Andrea!
oh yeah janO. that is really beautiful. it’s so amazing how we can lose parts of ourselves like that, but such a cause for celebration when we find them
today i celebrate that i am alive and i can breath easily! i love the way Life works and i am so happy than i am living the incredible wonderful adventure that Life is
and of course, celebrating that Andrea is in my life !!! so much good flowing to me…and celebrating this beautiful community where we can nourish each other´s dreams…how wonderful is that?
yes! from now on i invite myself to join the comments more often eheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ! !***
Hello creative dreamers
It seems like I had planned to celebrate my creativity this week-end. I went to the art store
and found a little book on a technique new for me, the shadow painting. I tried right on the spot !

And by the way you’ll see I committed to the new e-course too. What a fun time.
You’re wonderful Andrea !
More shadow paintings coming on my blog this week.
mariana yes please invite yourself to join the comments more often. you are a gift!
scylliane that is so fantastic. i am so glad you are a part of this and thank you so much for sharing your journaling. that shadow technique looks really interesting.
This week I’m celebrating finding a way around a roadblock.
A big part of the plot of my romance novel involved my hero and heroine’s families working together on a project, but I was hitting a roadblock as to just how that was going to take place. And I couldn’t really move forward until I figured that out. What I had originally planned for both families to do wasn’t working out the way I wanted it to. My hubby was a great source of help in that department. I bounced a lot of questions off him and the more he answered, the bigger the roadblock appeared to be. 
I was kind of bummed for the rest of the day because I thought this might mean that a lot of changes had to be made, and I wasn’t even sure if my plot could work out the way I’ve intended for it to all this time. But overnight, the answer came, and I like the new idea even better! So WOO HOO! Not to mention how much I appreciate having a hubby who takes all of my creative dreams seriously! He never questioned my desire to write a novel, even though, it’s not something I’ve ever done before. He’s seen me go after other dreams – and succeed – and he has no doubt I can do whatever I set my intentions to do. That’s priceless in my opinion! 
WOO HOO!
for the perfect idea coming in and for having such a supportive hubby.
thanks for joining the celebration party ginny.
I love this!
I am celebrating the fact that I finally did a newsletter and it came out pretty good.
I am also celebrating that I’ve done some email intuitive readings for the first time and they went really well.
I am also, also celebrating how kind I have been to myself this week…even when I felt stressed I kept up with my self-care.
Gosh, here I go. I think this is my first time? :^)
I’m celebrating the fact that I am so full of creative ideas, prompts, learning, reading, leaps, activities, epiphanies, writing, drawing, dreaming (literal, as it turns out) and inspiration that I’m a little over-full. Sometimes I call this overwhelm in that my physical body is having a little struggle keeping up with my inner world. But this is more like floating than the drowning usually associated with overwhelm. So I’m choosing to allow that energy to carry me weightlessly, instead of resisting it or trying to slow it down. That said, I celebrate my mindfulness with this and taking my own sweet time too. I celebrate going deeply at a steady pace rather than skimming the surface of the process and burning out. I celebrate that there is so much creative abundance in my life – both within and without. I also celebrate that I’m nearly incapable of leaving short comments which is why I leave very few. Hee.
And I celebrate you, Andrea. <3
I am celebrating that I am working on my portfolio site (not yet launched)… that I have a lot of dreams and ideas.. and that I realize I CAN be an entrepreneur and DO have the entrepreneur spirit. I am celebrating that I reached out to someone to propose a free blog design (if anyone reading this would like a free wordpress blog design lets talk) so that I could add to my portfolio… you’ve got to start somewhere!
yah jo anna! what an amazing week! you have so much to celebrate.
oh meg i celebrate you too and i welcome your long comments. it is so wonderful to hear about everything you’ve got to celebrate.
janet – YESSSSSS! you can be an entrepreneur.
it’s such a gift to have each of you joining in the celebration.
it’s kind of amazing, when we stop to consider how much we have to celebrate here.
Hi Andrea!
This was the perfect moment to find your post!
I just got home from spending the afternoon working on a bag design for my new business.
It’s my second prototype and still needs some tweeking, but I’m so clearly on my way that even the rain can’t get me down!
Yippee!
Thanks for your post!
yah jenny ann! that is wonderful. thanks for bringing this to the celebration.
Hi Andrea!
I’ve celebrated a bit differently but spending time with best friend/business partner/fellow dreamer is equally empowering. We are organising underground tea parties and bouncing ideas off of each other, I cannot tell you how good this feel! We talk about our personal creative journeys, ideas, fears, developments… We are enthusistic about each other’s progress and help each other when we can.
We spent the week end going to craft markets and fairs, eating cupcakes & discussing future plans for the business, how fantastic! I’m loving this ;D
Alexia xx
oh alexia that is an awesome celebration. i was looking at the photos from your underground tea party – looks so totally deliciously amazing.
I am celebrating getting back into the Domestic Goddess swing of things! I actually want to write a new blog about this because it felt as if I’d gotten away from the things I truly love. Being at home, cooking, tending the hearth etc. I actually spent most of the weekend starting a new knitting project (a stripey summer hat). And I got meals prepared, yogurt made, sprouts sprouting. I LOVE doing all these things. And I know that doing them is preparing me for what comes next…even if I’m not yet sure what that is!
I loved the subtle but noticeable shift the “I deserve all good things” meditation created within me. I am definitely putting what’s best for me first…like taking breaks during the day and going to the park to read.
XO
that sounds so lovely lee ann – settling into what feels good. i hope you share photos of the new hat! that sounds awesome.
I’m celebrating gratitude and small acts of kindness. I got a flat tire on my way to work today, and the nicest man/tow truck driver stopped and helped me–No charge. His exact words were “I have a daughter about your age, and would hope someone was kind enough to stop and help her as well” ..then I go to the store, and am short a few cents– the cashier dug in her pocket and helped me, no questions/hesitation at all. Its acts of kindness like that, that have made me not dwell or sulk of a “bad” day. Rather, I focus on their kindness and cherish that the world is still going, and there are things/people to bring smiles and positivity to others.
I celebrate that I’m taking time to play with my little one more! And I celebrate the coming of an idea that I had abandoned.
I frankly get a bit disillusioned by my lack of sales on etsy, and turns downs on my many book proposals. I’m trying to work thru this.
I have ideas, but when you have a lack of $$ and etsy interest, it’s quite hard to feel motivated to do anything!
But I celebrate the coming forth of ideas! And I celebrate more people being interested in my workshops, too! That’s something.
(I don’t want to be a debbie downer).
wow erica those are really heart touching kindnesses. that is really something to celebrate.
diana those are wonderful things to celebrate! and i want to honour your honesty. creative dreaming is hard work and disappointing a lot of the time and i think it’s important to acknowledge those aspects of it too. you’re certainly not a downer – i see you being honest and doing everything you can to keep moving forward and that is awesome.
I am celebrating diving into a project that has always intimidated me, but is allowing me to grow and share my creativity and passion with my community.
AND I’m celebrating the journey I am about to begin with your workshop…so much so that I have written about it on both my blogs to share the love and possibilities ahead!
Looking forward to it & hello!
yah april so happy to have you dive into the celebration. sounds like you are beginning a wonderful adventure. i’m going to go take a look at your blogs…
hey everyone!
april’s link didn’t for work me but i found her here: http://grownhazy.blogspot.com/
I celebrate the fact that I finally have a clear idea as to how to get to my dreams! Finally! Now, I can REALLY start my path to my dreams coming true.
I am celebrating embracing my creative energy and letting it flow through me instead of allowing what I “should” be doing to block this creative flow. I am celebrating all the beautiful opportunities the universe has helpd me find to encourage my creativity, including this blog and your Creativity 101 e-course. I am celebrating the newly-sprouted seedling of the idea that I should start a blog. I am celebrating the beginning of some new projects (polymer clay beads, stamp carving, and wireworking) that I bought supplies for just yesterday and began working on last night. I am celebrating the faith I am finding in myself and the steps I am taking toward opening an Etsy shop to share my ideas and my vision with the rest of the world.
diana – YEAH! that is awesome. what a great celerbation.
wow samantha – that is a lot to celebrate! awesome! please share your blog and etsy shop once you’ve got them going.
