Tara Sage Steeves is one of those people for me. Years ago, I attended <strong>The Dream Party<\/strong>\u00ae\u00a0<strong><\/strong> as a guest of my friend Donna Mac.<\/p>\n<p>Donna invited me to get with the spirit of the event and, \u201c<strong>Come as you aspire to be 5 years from now<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Five years is a long time. What did I aspire to be? A <strong>bestselling author<\/strong>? Midwife to <strong>dozens of bestselling authors<\/strong>? I looked in my closet for <strong>inspiration <\/strong>and rediscovered a gold raw silk embroidered and sequined jacket and gold krinkled skirt I&#8217;d never yet worn.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"dream party logo\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.createyourlifeinc.com\/images\/DreamParty-shade.jpg\" width=\"183\" height=\"176\" \/>Inspiring outfit, but it didn\u2019t look particularly book coach like or author-like or\u2026 it looked..what? Golden. Regal. Sparkly. An <strong>enlightened being<\/strong> kind of outfit. I don\u2019t know where the idea quite came from but I felt filled with excitement when I thought of it. Yes.<\/p>\n<p>After locating the Edgewood Yacht Club and parking, I found my way up to the second floor where I found the <strong>footbridge to the future<\/strong>. The instructions were to\u00a0 step into my dream as I walked over the footbridge. I got to become an enlightened being and it felt different, by gosh. <strong>Expansive<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10363\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10363\" style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10363  \" alt=\"dream party\" src=\"https:\/\/jodieburdette.net\/lisatener\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/dream-party-2010-students-light.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jodieburdette.net\/lisatener\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/dream-party-2010-students-light.jpg 320w, https:\/\/jodieburdette.net\/lisatener\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/dream-party-2010-students-light-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jodieburdette.net\/lisatener\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/dream-party-2010-students-light-150x101.jpg 150w, https:\/\/jodieburdette.net\/lisatener\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/dream-party-2010-students-light-100x67.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10363\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At my second or third Dream Party with Bring Your Book to Life Program graduates (5 published authors!) and clients.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Per Tara&#8217;s instructions, I left my shoulds at the door. And my impossibles. I enjoyed a quiet moment in the time machine writing a letter to myself from the future.<\/p>\n<p>Tara said to <strong>introduce ourselves<\/strong> as if it were 2013 and we were truly <strong>living our dreams<\/strong>. I met many bestselling authors that night who had been on <em>Oprah<\/em>. Some people took a while to get it, \u201cI hope to be on <em>Oprah <\/em>in 5 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, as an enlightened being, I got to help them out, \u201cYes, <strong>I saw you on <\/strong><em><strong>Oprah<\/strong> <\/em>the other day. Remind me what you said\u2026it was fascinating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That night, I truly got how we can embody our dreams now, this day, this moment. I learned a lot more about dreaming that night and I&#8217;ve carried it with me. While I&#8217;m not an enlightened being yet, I do think a little piece of that experience has stayed with me&#8211;always.<\/p>\n<p>This February, we all have a chance to get more in touch with our dreams and learn to live into them.
