Right now, I’m writing this from Turkey, on a long-awaited trip to see family and friends. It feels like a dream come true, but here’s the truth: it didn’t just “happen.” This journey is the result of deep alignment, intentional creation, and the practices I live and teach every day.
When we think of our dreams, whether it’s travel, a career change, a relationship, or a more authentic way of living, it’s easy to place them in the “one day” folder. We tell ourselves that when the timing is right, when circumstances change, or when life feels easier, then we’ll move toward what we really want. But what I’ve learned is that “one day” rarely arrives on its own.
This trip to Europe, starting with Turkey, could only come together because of the inner work of alchemy, understanding how to work with the unseen forces of creation, and aligning my inner vision with my outer reality.
Alchemy is about transforming the raw material of your life, the lead and turning into gold - your dreams made real. For me, that meant:
Getting clear on my vision. Not just “I want to travel,” but who I wanted to see, how I wanted to feel, and what experiences would make it meaningful.
Working with my current reality and looking honestly at my commitments, resources, and truth of what I was currently dealing with.
Then using a structured process, I move from my current reality towards my vision. Instead of struggling with "working it out", I use my intuition to discover the exact actions I need to take and the opportunities that would not be obvious to me from my ego.

The path unfolded step by step. This can make some people uncomfortable but it is very powerful. Flights aligned. Dates with family and friends fell into place. Accommodation was amazing. Even the unexpected opportunities—those little magical surprises—appeared once I had committed to the vision and stayed open to guidance from my intuition.
This is the same process I support my clients with: knowing what your heart truly wants, working with where you are right now, and finding the aligned actions that move you forward. When you do, your “one day” dreams begin to shift into “today” realities.
Magic unfolds in your life.
If you’ve been holding onto a vision that feels out of reach, maybe it’s time to look again. What if it’s closer than you think?
I’d love to chat with you about how to begin creating what your heart truly desires, just as I’ve done with this dream trip. Let's add some magic to your life!
