Thing Finding Thursday – What’s YOUR Thing?


I truly cannot express how joyful it’s been to invite some of my favourite people into my virtual living room on Thursdays to discuss their THING. What it is, how they found it and sharing their collective wisdom about how you can find yours. I’m richer for the experience and it is my sincerest hope that you are too.

Remember these interviews/posts and these gems?

Fabeku Fatunmise – Trust the bigness inside of you that is pulling you toward your thing. (TWEET IT)

Oh so much richness and light shared. And oh so much more to come (make sure you’re subscribed for updates).

I’m also hearing from you, dear and precious readers, that you’d like the opportunity to share YOUR thing, YOUR path, YOUR journey with us.  And we’d LOVE to to meet you. We WANT to get to know YOU and where you are at in your own process of finding, loving, or claiming your thing.

And so, I’ll be mixing it up a bit around here.

Peppered in-betwixt the interviews and guest posts, I’ll be asking you one of the interview questions, and invite you to share your responses with us in the comments below and on my Facebook page.

And, for an added dose of inspiration, we’re going to hear the answer to the question from someone who HAS found their thing. And wants to share it with you.

This week, we’re graced with the sparkliciousness of  Andrea Schroeder of www.CreativeMagicAcademy.com. With a paintbrush in one hand & a glitter-gun in the other, Andrea lovingly mentors men & women who want to lead creatively abundant lives — and do ‘impossible’ things, with ease & joy.

So, Andrea, what’s YOUR thing?

My Thing is Creative Magic.

I help people find their creative spark and use it to bring their dreams to life, with spiritual practices & personal development techniques that feel less like silent meditation & group weeping, and more like magic potions & tea parties.

This means I support myself as a coach, course leader & creator of magical kits to help with everything from overcoming fear to mapping your goals to building the heart-centered business of your dreams.  I spend a lot of time playing with crayons and glitter, wearing costumes and giggling.  My job is the funnest thing ever.

I’m actively & passionately working on my mission of overflowing this whole world with sparkly wishes (fulfilled!) and dreams (come true!) — and I’m enjoying every second of my chosen adventure.

Express the greatest parts of who YOU are, at www.CreativeMagicAcademy.com. You can also find Andrea sprinkling glittery joy over on Twitter.

Your turn, Dear Reader: What’s YOUR thing?

So go ahead. We’d love to hear from you. Share in the comments or on my Facebook page. And make sure you leave your link so we can find your glorious self.

    I’m discovering slowly, mind you that’s very slowly, that my passion is personal enrichment. I’ve been writing and speaking offering presentations on De-Clutter & Organization, The Power of Positive Thinking…Making a Vision Board, Interior Design Basics, Practice Makes Perfect – Interviewing, and the list continues to grow simply out of experience, pure joy, and wanting to “pay it forward.” I’m learning from some masters and find myself busting wanting to share as much as possible. So I’ve given myself a name and write for a local paper occasionally under the eyebrow – “The Well-Organized Life.” It’s been fun watching it be birthed and whisper …you can do this, go for it! Someone please tell me how to take “this” to higher levels? btw…love Finding Thursday, don’t you ;-)

      “The Well-Organized Life” – How WONDERFUL! How CLEAR! How DESIRABLE! You’re on to something Nancy, there is no doubt. And that you’ve already seen interest is proof in the pudding. My thoughts: get even clearer on the “this” (so that you’re not apologizing for it) and get clear on “higher levels” and then watch it soar.
      Love,
      TG

    My thing? Embracing this wildly colorful, beautiful, heart-breaking and heart-soaring life–and helping others do the same. I’m teary-eyed grateful over discovering how to DO this a few months ago, with the launch of my online magazine, Sprout. (Thanks for shining your light in my BOLDNESS issue, Tanya!)

    Each month I’m blown away by the creatives of this world, how generous and heart-full they are, and how connected we all can be. We all spend much of our lives doing “normal” stuff–chores, appointments, schedules. So can we do it with beauty? Gratitude? Joy? That’s what explore in Sprout. And I am so, so grateful.

  3. What an awesome post! I’m so excited to read all of those links to interviews. I just hoped over from In Spaces Between
    and am loving what I’m reading!!
