Posted on January 20, 2020January 20, 2020 by Kathleen Flanagan

Today we’re going to talk about Step 5 of Dream Building: Gratitude and Blessing.

The previous steps are:

Step 1: How to Honor Your Discontent
Step 2: How to Test Your Dream
Step 3: The “You are Deserving” Mindset
Step 4: How to Manage Your Fear

To increase what you have you bless it. You are saying thank you for everything you have in your life: the house you live in, hot water, food in the pantry. Sometimes it can be just that simple. Acknowledge that you are blessed on many levels.

When you start acknowledging and being grateful for what you have, […]

Dream Building Step 4: How to Manage Your Fear

Posted on January 13, 2020February 26, 2021 by Kathleen Flanagan

Today we are covering Step 4 of Dream Building. The past three weeks we have covered:

Step 1: How to Honor Your Discontent
Step 2: How to Test Your Dream
Step 3: The “You Are Deserving” Mindset 

This week’s lesson is on how to manage your fear.

First, you need to understand what fear is. It’s nothing more than a border guard. It stands between where you are today in your reality and where you want to go. We unconsciously (and consciously) avoid discomfort and moving towards a big dream is definitely uncomfortable.

When fear rises instead of entertaining it as real or […]

Dream Building Step 3: The “You Are Deserving” Mindset

Posted on January 5, 2020February 26, 2021 by Kathleen Flanagan

Today we are covering Step 3 of Dream Building. Step 1 was “Honoring Your Discontent.” Step 2 was “Testing Your Dream.”

When we have gone through Step 1 and 2 and have decided to follow our dream because it is worthy of us and we get all excited, guess what happens? Our ego rears it’s ugly head and starts telling you stories like: * ”What makes you think you can have this?” * ”Why do you think you deserve this?” * ”Remember all these other times that you tried something and failed.”

The ego is always going to come in […]

Dream Building Step 2: How to Test Your Dream

Posted on December 30, 2019December 30, 2019 by Kathleen Flanagan

Today I want to talk about Step 2 in Dream Building. We covered Step 1 last week – “Honoring Your Discontent.” You can find this blog/video HERE. Step 2 is “How to Test Your Dream.”

There are five questions you need to ask yourself to determine if this is the dream you want to pursue. What you are doing is exchanging your time for your dream. Our time is our most valuable asset because we never know how much time we have. It’s going to take time to build things and you have to make sure it’s worthy of you.

Dream Building Step 1: How to Honor Your Discontent

Posted on December 23, 2019February 26, 2021 by Kathleen Flanagan

I’d like to start a 10-part series on how to create your dream or dream building.

The first step in Dream Building is honoring your discontent.

We all have a choice in how we want to live our life. Most of us get into this mundane routine of getting up, going to work, coming home, going to sleep, and repeat day after day. We feel like there is something more and bigger than us that we need to do, but we are stuck in this rut.

When we honor our discontent we start to figure out why we’re feeling what we’re feeling. Usually, […]

Believe and Trust in Your Evolution

When you start trusting your decisions and following your heart is when your evolution begins. It takes courage and strength. It will be challenging but the rewards will far surpass your wildest dreams.

Today I want to continue talking about soul evolution. It’s very important to trust yourself when you are opening your heart. You need to trust what you’re feeling and the decisions you’re making.

You may lose people along the way because you are walking to a different beat. […]

Take Charge of Your Evolution

I want to talk about soul evolution today. You’re probably wondering how you work on the evolution of your soul.

One of the ways that I found, that started me on this path, was finding out what made my heart sing. It took me a while to find out what would make me a happy person. I had to go back to when I was a child.

Many times your childhood dreams are what you wanted to do in this life in […]

How Your Car Reflects Your Body

Today I want to continue talking about messages received from Spirit.

Last week I told you about my return trip home when cars werer following me (in a good way) and some of the issues I had with my car. One of the issues that came up was that the alternator was going out. This was causing my battery to lose charge suddenly.

My mechanic told me that the alternator helps to regulate the energy or the voltage throughout the car. […]

How Your Car Reflects Your Body

I want to talk again about messages received from Spirit. This time via automobile!

I was making the trip home this past Saturday that takes several hours and passes through the mountains in Colorado.

When I first started out, I had the highway mostly to myself because it was 7:00 am on a Saturday. The first thing that caught my attention was that there was a woman following me – we were alone on the highway. I had to pull off […]

What Form of Spiritual Messages Do You Receive?

Today I want to talk about the messages we receive from Spirit.

I know a lot of times people think that Spirit isn’t talking to them. (You may call it your Guide or Angels, we all have different words that we’re comfortable with.) Whatever terminology you use, you can feel very alone and isolated if you think you are cut off from them, that is far from the truth.

If you want to receive messages, all you have to […]
