Greetings Creative Ones!

So now that you have cleared your canvas and celebrated all that you created in 2014, ready to plant new seeds for 2015?

Great, but first, lets look at all the lessons and insights you received from 2014.  Let these inform your creations for the year to come.

LESSON’s Learned. Insights Received.
Here is a sample from my list:

  • More clarity on what is my responsibility and what is not
  • More commitment and permission to follow my heart’s true desires.
  • Releasing of old dreams, other people’s desires for me.
  • Letting go of what isn’t mine, or objects that are past their expiration date.
  • Completing chapters. Literally and figuratively
  • Knowing when to say no.
  • How to ask for what I want and honor this
  • Better boundaries around what I want and what no longer serves me.
  • Deeper, humility.
  • Claiming more Leadership.
  • More Freedom.
  • Immense gratitude.
  • Inspired Action <only>.
  • Fiercely taking a stand for my values even when it is not popular or keeping the peace.
  • Deep trust and faith in following my soul’s calling.
2015 – SO WHAT ARE YOUR GOING TO CREATE THIS YEAR?
Stop playing it safe…this is a year for inspired action!  It is growing increasingly chaotic on the planet as we are in times of deep global transformation.  And How can you do your part? By acting on your heart’s desires and your soul's values.  If not we will grow increasingly uncomfortable if we resist this call to change within our own life. As I tune into the energy for 2015 it is all about taking action in our lives.

What are your intentions for 2015?
What do you want to create?

Email me and let me know, I would love to hear from you!

KEY WORDS FOR 2015.
Collaboration. Communication. Cooperation (let go of competition-that is the old paradigm!). Creativity. Imagination. Courage. Choice. INSPIRED Action.

HOW TO LIVE IN YOUR PASSION?
Passion. Power. Purpose.  Essential for a fulfilling 2015.

First it is essential that we connect to our passion if we are going to live a fulfilling life.  How do we do this?  We have to get out of our head and into our hearts and bodies. That is why I love painting, it is the quickest way to do this that I have found, any form of creative expression really, it bypasses the verbal rational mind more easily and open’s us up to our intuitive creative knowing which is our heart-center and houses our soul’s guidance, our deepest knowing.  Dance is another great, immediate expression of this.

We align with our true authentic power when we take inspired action on this passionate knowing.  How do you know if you are aligned heart + soul?  You will feel it in your body, you will feel energized, inspired and alive!  This doesn’t meant that you will not feel fear or doubt, this is a normal aspect of the creative process. It does mean that you are connected to your desire and there is an eternal joy in this when we respond to our soul’s calling.  It calls us forth towards our own growth, evolution and purpose.

When we live with Purpose, when we align our lives with our soul’s calling, I will tell you there is no greater freedom or joy.  There is no greater aliveness than this, this is what living and inspired, passionate and purposeful life is all about.

So many of us have searched for meaningful connection and fulfillment in things outside of ourselves when honoring our soul’s longing is really the path to true and long-term happiness. 

There is nothing greater than your desire. Are you willing to take the journey to what you want?

There are currently 3 ways in which you can work with me in 2015 beyond retreats and classes:

1) Private Coaching/Mentoring:  After coaching creatives, entrepreneurs, change agents and those who want to make a big change/transition in their lives over the last 7 1/2 years, I know that transformation and change happens with connection, consistency, trust, accountability and support over a period of time.  My clients with the best results have committed to consistency.  Currently I am taking a few new clients for 3 and 6 month coaching programs.  If you are interested in receiving support for a breakthrough in your life please email us at: coaching@firetreestudios.com to begin your inquiry.

2) Private Personalize Retreat with me on Martha's Vineyard: It is true that I just relocated to one of the most beautiful, creatively inspiring, mystical and nourishing places on the planet.  While consistency over time is important, sometimes and immersion based on your current needs is too.  Come join me here while we create a breakaway intensive for you to recreate yourself and your life in a way that aligns you to your deepest passions, purpose and opportunities for a prosperous lifestyle from the inside out. Email me now, as I have limited time for these retreats this year and need to book asap to reserve your space.  If you are interested in scheduling a private, personalized retreat in the Fire Tree Method (coaching + expressive arts) with me, please email us at: coaching@firetreestudios.com to begin your inquiry and reserve time on Melissa's calendar.

3)The Phoenix Rising Experience:  There is still time to join us if you are looking for a group intensive that will transform your life in 3 months. Guaranteed.
