As a young girl I had a fascination with Hawaii. Shortly after my mom died I went to Maui for 5 days and stayed a month. I fell in love with Hawaii and knew I wanted to live here.
When I finished my studies with Don Miguel Ruiz I wasn’t sure what I was going to do but I knew where I wanted to live. I was working with a counselor who suggested I put aside at least $2000 to make the move.
It became clear gathering up that money wasn’t going to happen so I had a yard sale, sold everything, payed for my dogs’s quarantine and moved to Hawaii with $800. Not really enough money to start a new life but it worked. It ws my dream and I made it happen.
Have you ever had a dream that really mattered?
So many people tell me they have always wanted to come to Hawaii but . . . The but doesn’t really matter. The ‘but’ is just an excuse, one that stops dreams from coming true.
A life without limits is taking a cup of red dye
and pouring it into the ocean,
and watching the color dilute into nothingness.
Limited focus is putting that same cup of dye
into a gallon of water.”

I focused on my dream to live in Hawaii in spite of the reality of what $800 could do. I moved, things were dicey at times but now I own a beautiful home.
So what is your dream and what is your excuse, the one that tells you it is unattainable? Are you ready to give yourself the gift of allowing all of your dreams to come true?
I’d love to read about your dreams in the comment section. Perhaps I can help you make your dreams come true?
It really is simple:
Focus
Believe
Trust the process
Take inspired actions
You just need to focus
I was lucky I had spent years studying with Don Miguel Ruiz. When I had no idea how I would pay for food, I trusted the process and kept moving forward. Fast forward it worked out wonderfully, scary at times but wonderfully.
With love and aloha,

If you’ve always wanted to come to Hawaii I have retreats – my next one in June.
I work with people one on one to make their dreams come true and I have some openings.
One of my dreams is to have my 18 year old daughter and myself attend one of your retreats. I am Focus.
I’d love to have you both here, enjoying Hawaii and connecting with your inner essence at a profound level – and just having fun too!!!
“But” will stop it from happening – let go of the buts and see what happens
My dream is to come to Hawaii to one of yours retreats. Now I have focused to stadying English.I am trying.
If you come to a retreat you could think of it as an immersion English class
With a big smile and lots of love,
Susan
What a timely post! I was just telling my sister your story yesterday. You and I talked about a year ago. I spent most of the year in Hawaii last year. I am flying in again on Sunday from Sacramento. I still haven’t decided for sure and am hoping this trip will help me make my decision. I have been leaving it up to the universe as I continue to pare down my belongings. I would love to hear some of your getting there stories that lead up to the beautiful home and the retreats. I always love your writings.
Leaving it up to the universe isn’t really owning your power to create your reality. Getting clear about what you do want, following the cosmic breadcrumbs and taking inspired actions is the key yo an awesome life.
This series of posts will be all about realizing our dreams.
Enjoy Hawaii,
Susan
