Sunday, July 31st, 2011

Watch this Field Fairy walk Nature’s Red Carpet right into her dreams.

Your life transforms into art when you listen to your inner guidance and follow your dreams.

7 Steps to Transforming your life into art

1. Pause and create the space to connect with yourself.
2. Let go of who you think you should be.
3. Ask yourself some deep reflective questions like: Who am I? Who do I want to be? What do I want may life to stand for?
4. Listen for your answers from your inner guidance.
5. Let your inner guidance create a delicious dream for you. What would be happening? Where would you be? Who would be there?
6. Feed the dream by taking action. Do something to give the dream life.
7. Follow your dreams.

I’d love to hear your experience about creating your life as art!

Creating Dragon Sculpture with Dad

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

Happy Father’s Day!
On this special day I wanted to create a tribute to my dad to celebrate all the things I’ve learned from him.

My dad, Joseph Hollick, is an engineer. I grew up watching him design, build and construct things using his creative and logical mind.

When I started creating art, he taught me how to turn my imagination into reality. He instilled in me the necessity to use both the right and the left brain. I learned early on that if I wanted to create something it had to work both logistically and creatively.

I often go to my dad with a sketch of one of my wild ideas and say:
“Can you help me build this?”
and he always says: “Yes”

I think he enjoys the challenge.

Every sculpture I’ve ever created has been influenced by my dad. Whether he was there building it with me or not, all of my construction knowledge comes directly from him.

During the creative process I can get a bit…..uhmmm…..crazy! (you know what I mean)
My dad always stays level headed and helps find a solution that fits.

This dragon sculpture would probably still be a pile of sticks if it weren’t for my dad.
When I was out hiking I discovered all these glorious sticks. I could see knees, legs and a head in them, but I wasn’t sure how to get it to stand up securely.

It was a real engineering feat (and to be honest a complete experiment) to discover the dragon sculpture could withstand the Canadian elements. This sculpture was created for an outdoor exhibition I had at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington, Ontario. It was during the summer that had many torrential downpours. This photo was taken on one of the very few sunny days that summer.

This dragon has seen many transformations, as have I. But because it has a solid foundation it can continue to grow and evolve. This is such a metaphor to me. Growing up with my dad has given me such a solid foundation, I know I can be and do anything!

Thanks Dad!

From fantasy to reality

Transform your dreams into reality with these 5 steps….

From fantasy to reality, follow your heart to your money tree. soul artist Laura Hollick. Photo by Kevin Thom

The dream of following your heart & making money is not as far off as you might think. Years ago when I wasn’t making money from following my heart, the idea of expressing myself and thriving seemed like a fantasy. It felt like a magical idea that I wondered if I would ever experience.

Now that I do make money by following my heart and have guided others to do it too, I know it is not only possible but probable when you take the right steps.

5 Steps to transform your dream into reality

1. CLARITY
You need to have a clear vision of what you want. You won’t be able to take any action if you don’t know where you want to go. Get clear about your dream.

What do you want?

2. DECISION
You must make a whole-hearted decision to go for your dream all the way. If you do it half way, it won’t happen, it requires your whole Self. Make the decision to go for it.

Have you made the whole-hearted decision to go for your dreams?

3. SUPPORT
It is important to seek out people and environments that support and encourage your dream. A turning point in my own transformation was when I invested in a high-level coach to help me go beyond my small thinking and into my big vision. I highly recommend finding someone who can take you further than you thought possible.

What or Who can support you to transform your dream into reality?

4. ACTION
You must take action! There is no way around this one. You must be willing to put your ideas, inspiration and vision in motion with your action. This means being willing to make mistakes and learn and keep going.

What is the most powerful action you can take now to move you in the direction of your dream?

5. ACTIVE SURRENDER
While you are taking action, let the magic of the journey guide you. Your intuition kicks in when you are in motion. If you want to access your inner guidance system you need to get moving.

Are you letting your intuition guide you?

Take this even further with the telecourse ‘Follow your heart & make money’.

Making your dreams real is a journey. It is the process of transforming the invisible force of your soul into physical reality.

Here are the 5 steps for making your dreams real…

1.  DISCOVER~ Connect with the heart of your soul and discover what your dream is.

2. FANTASIZE ~ Imagine what it would be like to experience your dream.

3. DECIDE ~ Make an internal decision to make your dream real.

4. ALIGN ~ Align every aspect of yourself to match your dream.

5. SURRENDER ~ Let your dream unfold in its own perfect way. You have to surrender to it.

Take the journey and make your dreams real ~ it is the recipe for  living a creative, passionate and meaningful life.

YOUR SPIRIT ASSIGNMENT

As you read through the 5 steps, notice which step you are on now.  Do 3 things today that support where you are now in the process of making your dreams real. For example: if you are on the ‘Surrender’ step, ask yourself “What could I do to surrender to my dream now?” Do that!
