Introduction to Book

I am grateful to the women who gathered in my living room over thirty years ago. We met monthly envisioned our future, set goals, listened too our hearts and to our intuition. We held each other accountable. Our dreams took flight and became our reality. I had to write this stuff down. (I interviewed leaders in different fields to see whether they had ever created and realized a vision.) I became curious- what does the research say about the power of visualization? What does the research say about goal setting and how can be use it to increase productivity? I continued to lead workshops to enable organizations and individuals to create and implement a compelling vision for the future. I learned what works! I had an incessant urge to write a book. My book sprung to life.

Why I Wrote a Book

My journey began as a social worker and corporate learning leader where I developed a systematic approach to improving learning and performance. Over thirty years ago, I began leading monthly workshops for women using guided imagery and goal setting. Our hearts opened, we discovered dreams long buried, we set goals, we shared our feelings, and we held each other accountable. We were all amazed at the transformation in our lives; I had to write this stuff down! I researched goal-setting and guided imagery and designed a spiritual and systematic process built on research. I drew from my experience leading learning in Fortune 100 companies, where I improved the performance of individuals, teams, and companies, helping employees find meaning in soul-satisfying work and helping companies save millions of dollars. The process works!

My firm conviction is that we all have the power to create an amazing life. I wrote this book for anyone who dreams of something better and wants a path to move to the next stage in life. My book guides you step by step with a process, tools, and action plans to create your unique extraordinary life; it inspires you with stories of those who have succeeded and enables you to tap into the wisdom and creativity of your subconscious.

 Verified An inspiring read This book was an enlightening read. The steps the author shared are practical and encouraging. It emphasizes listening to yourself and trusting your intuition, which is something we often forget to do. The stories are inspiring, and the tools are easy to follow. The book reminds me that it is not just about dreaming but actually believing you can create something extraordinary. One minor thing, though, that could use a bit of improvement (as of the time of the writing of this review) is the formatting and perhaps a bit of editing, as it takes a bit away from the reading experience. Other than that, this book is a good pick if you're looking for positivity and growth!

 Verified Personal Development It was hard for me to believe that I could change my life from work then go home then back to work cycle. This is a transformative guide with a roadmap that supports me with unlocking my full potential. Each chapter addresses different parts of life. The most important thing to me is overcoming obstacles. The best takeaway is the power of visualization and positive thinking. Highly recommended.

 Verified A Full Vision For My Life Reading this book's content made me want to get up and do something. It inspired me to finally create that vision board I have always wanted to do. The scenarios in my opinion were things that I can identify with. Readers will know that their dreams are valid no matter what anyone says.

 Verified Great read! The book does a great job giving guided steps to guided imagery. It has examples of real-life people, diagrams, positive affirmation style, and more. The author really breaks down the concept in a way that’s easy to understand, even if you’re new to it. I loved how the book not only explains the techniques but also gives practical exercises to try out on your own. The diagrams make everything super clear, and the real-life stories are inspiring and relatable, showing how these methods can really change your mindset and life. The positive affirmations throughout give such a motivational vibe, making the whole experience uplifting and encouraging. Worth the time

Praise for Envision Your Extraordinary Life

“Getting into the ‘space’ with you and the rest of the ladies in our group propelled my life in a direction I could have never dreamed of. My imagination was opened as a result of this course and I was able to really envision myself doing things I never thought possible. I stepped into a new way of being in the world that’s still coming into focus for me to this day. The unexpected, residual effects of this course are still shaping me and moving me in directions yet unseen. I can feel the flow and I know that whatever is to come will be wonderful and full of joy. It’s so hard to put my experience into words. For me it was both a beautiful and messy process at times. I think of that afternoon sitting on the floor of my condo crying and ripping out pages from magazines to create my vision board. Balling some of the pages up and throwing them across the room as I raged; cursing the gods and my ancestors, my own shortcomings, my ridiculous self defeating patterns and even my humanity at times … and in the middle of that storm, there was healing happening—all at the same time. In the end, what I pasted to the back of an old Little Caesar’s pizza box would hold a bold new vision for my future … a new and exciting chapter.

Forever thankful for such a beautiful experience—opened me up wide and ready for something new.”
