Catch Your Dream--Whatever That Dream May Be

Always wanted to write that memoir or finish that novel?

If you are a writer, then I'm pretty sure you have! Even experienced writers run up against a wall now and then.

 My good friend Allyn Evans made her writing dream come true in 2005. Recently Allyn contacted me about a workshop she’s putting together for individuals who want to push forward and make things happen in their own lives. Lately I've been paying more attention to positive thinking, affirmations and manifesting my own good luck. Most of the readers of this blog know that I believe in providing self-help resources for writers, too,  so I thought this would be something you'd want to know more about.
Allyn and her collaborator, Pam Boyer, have been very successful in planning and launching projects and ventures. Let’s see…since I met Allyn, she wrote her own memoir, she launched a successful résumé writing business and she cruised for free (because she got on board as an enrichment speaker)…just to name a few things. And Pam has had similar success. She’s done things like launch a corporate training business and established a successful coaching practice. Just last May, Pam joined forces with Wild Quest to offer workshops where you swim with wild dolphins in the Bahamas.
Turns out now that these two women want to help you no matter how complicated or out-of-reach you believe your dream to be. The two have put together a new workshop titled:

Catch Your Dream: And Live It!  To sign up go to: http://www.kickstartcart.com/app/?af=1233453

The essentials of making life work for you can help build careers, too—specifically your writing career. The other thing is, I know this event will be catch your attention, too. I've watched Allyn's speaking career bloom. She is is an honored member of Toastmasters and had has charmed audiences the world over.

  1. hello

    I’m a children’s writer from iran

    “math city” story
    a story for publish

    a part of story:

    Warning: Warning:

    To all honorable numbers of the city:

    Be aware that a minus called “lying line” is turning around the city.
    Stay away from him. You will change to zero if he sees you, and as you
    know, to become zero is as equal your death. This minus is armed with
    some cold and hot weapons, sharp knife and full armed gun.
