What do you truly desire?

You may be surprised by what your soul has in store for you ~ if you let yourself look deeper and dream bigger

The calendar just turned the page to September and, right on cue, there is a palpable shift in the air. Everyone seems to have gotten the memo.

Here in Asheville, the leaves have begun to fall and the temperatures have cooled to provide a gentle breeze and a delightful crispness. Misty mornings turn to sunshine and blue skies, then the late afternoon sun turns everything golden as it dapples through the canopy, until the setting sun paints the sky with brilliant colors over the aptly-named Blue Ridge Mountains.

No matter where you are in the world, you will likely also be feeling the shift in seasons. This turning feels more distinct than most. People are really ready for the next chapter, excited to step into the next phase of themselves and their work, cleaning out closets, nesting, organizing and planning.

In perfect timing, today is a new moon and we are entering eclipse season with not two but three eclipses happening within the next six weeks.

This is a really potent time for setting intentions!

2025 is going to be your year

What comes to mind when you read that? Relief, excitement, doubt, a mixture of all three?

If you knew that you got to experience your deepest desires in the coming year, based on what you’re seeding right now, what intentions would you be setting during this powerful time?

Do you know what it is that you’re truly desiring?

Before you roll your eyes and say “duh”, really pause to feel into it. Because most people don’t really know. They don’t allow themselves to go there.

The default desires contained in the “duh” usually look like “more money” and “more quality time.” And those are great. But what specifically would you do with all that money, and how would you be spending your days with all that quality time on your hands?

When I ask my clients to describe what a day in their successful life looks like for them, many are surprised to find that they haven’t really stopped to flesh that out.

They may come back with a laugh and some version of: “I want to be sitting on a beach sipping Mai Tais for the rest of my life.” This is a knee-jerk response ~ a desire to escape from the stress and pressure of overwhelm at work, worry about money, and whatever else life has been tossing into their pressure cooker.

So if you pictured something similar, let yourself have this dream. Envision what it would feel like to be basking in a beach chair, toes in the warm sand, sipping on a refreshing cocktail or mocktail as you watch the sun sink down into the ocean, and breathing deeply with the contented smile of one who hasn’t a care in the world.

Have your Mai Tai Moment. And then….? Because I’m pretty sure that your soul didn’t stop there.

Picture this multidimensional aspect of you, with all the possibilities in the world at your disposal, designing this one beautiful life ~ all that your soul wished for you to learn, explore, experience, create and contribute in this lifetime. Did your soul really just phone it in with “Mai Tais on the beach” as your pinnacle of success and call it a day?

So go ahead. {cue a flurry of clichés} Dream big. And then dream bigger. And even then, your soul has something even bigger and better in store ~ literally beyond your wildest imagination.

And add some texture to those visions. Fill in the details. What does it look like, feel like, sound like, smell like when you’re there? What becomes possible from that space? What ripples out into the world when you’re living your biggest dreams?

Where do you begin?

Don’t worry if your dreaming muscle is a bit atrophied ~ after all, you’ve likely been overdeveloping your “strive and survive” muscles. But now it’s time to bring in a bit more balance to your support structure.

You don’t need to come up with these grand visions on your own. Your soul has left an abundance of clues in a brilliant tapestry of blueprints, treasure maps and breadcrumb trails.

And you have an inner guidance system that is operating nonstop in the background gently nudging you, shaping you and honing you ~ with every bit of your experience perfectly timed in the brilliant unfoldment of this wondrous, fulfilling life that you designed specifically for you.

The first step is in allowing yourself to believe that this is how it all works….
