Every where I turn online, I’m seeing gratitude list after gratitude list. Together, our Aussie sisters are rejoicing, country wide: ‘The sunshine!’, ‘the energy!’, ‘the inspiration!’, ‘Spring has sprung!’. I am no different. I’m writing this post today, coming at you hard and fast with paralleled enthusiasm; with an aura that’s pulsating to the point of near-implosion. I’m glowing the most radiant, bombastic, most creatively orange glow ever. I’m-a ready to take it all on (and I know you are too)!
Sometimes, when you catch yourself grinning ear to ear, you have to take a moment to truly reflect on the little paw prints you left in the sand to get here. Beautiful here. That’s exactly what I’m doing now, and rest assured, you’ll see and read all about those paw prints on The BLISS List this Sunday. But for now, I’m looking forward. Onward and upward. I feel steady and sultry in the space that I’m holding for myself in the present, while turning up the dials of strategies and all out stoked-ness for the future. Let me set some intentions for the rest of September- and hopefully get you fired up about all that Spring has to offer.
1. I’m going to drink a coconut every single day.
2. Also joining the once-a-day list will be green juice and bulging salads. Thank you Rach, for the reminder!
3. I intend to cook twice a week for my family.
4. I’m going to ripple out (a totally made up term) and expand the connections I’m making with my fellow bloggers and faith-seekers in an effort to keep to fire burning. Any Brisbane-ites or Coasties feel like feel like sipping on rooibos?
5. I’m going to pull one tarot and/or oracle card every morning with the sun on my face.
6. I’m going to finish reading two books. The first on my list is (finally) getting through The Art Of Non-Conformity by Chris Guillebeau
7. Silence will be welcomed. Moments of sshhhhhh.
8. I will venture to the yoga studio. I will.
9. I’m going to have a ripper time in Cairns in two weeks. You may already know that I’m heading north to spend three days with Leonie Dawson for some intimate business and soul coaching, and to be honest, if nothing else, I’m mainly looking forward to just hanging out with a small group of brilliant, electric women; all wide eyed and eager. I’m really excited about it.
10. And the biggie: I’m ready to expand my business, starting now! My written musings on affirmations, fear-declarations, big dreams and shameless ownership of our superpowers, paired with the heart soaring process of coaching vibrant women, have been made manifest in my own life, and I’m thrilled to tell you that one beautifully fateful (yet entirely faith-filled) moment after another has landed me here; open and receptive- with space in both my world and my psyche for more. More giving. More you. More coaching. More a-ha’s! More ear-to-ear grins.
Watch this space- in the coming days I’m going to announce a brand spankin’ coaching package; and it’s going to be a total game changer. In the meantime, as a lead up to this- I’m giving away one month’s free coaching to one very vulnerable vixen! If this sounds like something that you might be interested in, then leave a comment below and tell me why. Alternatively, you can jump over to my facebook page and join the conversation there (or both!). A month of soul uncovering, fear dissolving and clarity unfurling will be announced in Sunday’s BLISS List. Please, I encourage you to tweet this post out and share it with your online community- the more people that know about this giveaway, the better. Also- expect more of this type of generosity around here. I’m deeply intent on stretching my giving muscles!
Before I go- there’s something that you all need to know. This is a very, very powerful time to hone in on your dreams and desires (particularly if it’s career or abundance orientated). As we approach October, all of us need to gear up and get real and ultimately, go for it! Leonie would say that this is the time to ride your wild donkey.
Create the vision, and bring it closer. And closer, and closer. What can you do today that will bring you one step closer to the prize? Use this Universal energy ladies- it’s on your side!
Have a beautiful, beautiful weekend!
Hello beautiful, Tara – I would so adore one month’s free coaching with you, firstly coz I wanna support your amazing presence in the world of Goddess Biz and secondly and probably most importantly – I’m stepping out of my comfort zone – shit has been thrown at me left right and centre this year and I’ve been keeping it together. I’ve been focused as best I can and still moving forward and being positive about a brand new future BUT quite frankly the last few weeks have thrown me for six and now I’m plain, goddammit fucking scared and have hit the wall and have self doubt coming out my goddamn ears.
I’m a positive, joyous person and for those at work and around me, they would not know how much emotional pain I am in. I’m not good at sharing my pain or asking for help.
But I’ve reached the point now where it’s sink or swim and I’m extending my hand to you for some help. I want to find my inner goddess strength again – I know it’s there but I’ve lost direction and fallen by the wayside just a bit and I would very much appreciate working with someone who can guide me to what is important and what is not.
Thank you for listening.
Much love to you soulful sista ♥♥
Hi Tara!
I stumbled upon your website one day and have been truly hooked ever since. Your words resonate with me, and for whatever reason,I feel like if I met you randomly in real life we would become fast friends. I recently moved back home (US) after chasing my dreams in beautiful Italy for 6 years. Now, I find myself at s turning point. I am engaged to a wonderful man, yet on a very personal journey of growth. I have left all if my friends behind and feel like a stranger, ironically, in my home country. I am ready to make huge changes in my life, to live my bliss moment to moment. But, as we all know, change is hard. I have so many ideas swirling around in my line, its hard to focus, and more than that, follow through. I yearn for guidance from a like minded soul.
Sorry, swirling around in my mind***…..autocorrect! :)
Hi Tara
I’m so excited to have found your website through the amazing Julie Parker.
I would love to win a month’s free coaching with you. I so need this.
I’ve been feeling a little lost lately. I am a stay at home mum of two gorgeous babies but I feel like there’s something else out there. I don’t think being a Mum is the only thing to define me (not that I don’t love being a Mama!). I need direction. Badly.
I can’t wait to follow your website for some inspiration. x
Love your gorgeous list of Spring to-dos. Its such a fab time of year for new beginnings and GROWTH!
Hi beautiful Tara,
Not even three months ago I was incredibly unhappy, depressed and suffering from an acute eating disorder. My life was in ruins and it got the point where I couldn’t ignore it anymore. But I also didn’t know what to do.
One day I came across a list that I had written when I was in highschool – a list of all the things I wanted to achieve in my lifetime.
It had been two years since I finished school and I hadn’t acheieved a single thing. This lit a fire inside of me, a determination that I hadn’t felt in a long time.
I started a blog and I began to make writing a regular aspect of my life. To my joy, I found an amazing community of female bloggers who are all thinking and writing about the same issues and concerns as me. We are all looking for love and empowerment. How comforting it is to know that someone finally understands!
In three months I have completely transformed my life, in more ways than I could possibly describe!
I would love to receive one months free coaching from you. Your recent post about the things that you fear has really stuck with me and I believe I could learn a lot from your lovely, kind heart.
Two months ago I wouldn’t have bothered participating in this thinking ‘There is no way I will win’. But the time for negativity and cynicism is over! I deserve good things and I will fight hard for it!
How amazing you are for spreading so much kindess!
Bless your kind heart,
Sophie xxxx
Hi love,
This giveaway is super rad!
Anyhoo.. here’s my speil.
Having recently returned to Newcastle (NSW) from 2 years in London and Europe I am a lost little pup.
My grand plan is to step out on my own as a graphic/web designer and forge a path where I can dance to the beat of my own drum, whilst helping business chicks realise the value visuals can have on their dreams.
I’ve been in the game for over 5 years now and am at a point were I need to be in control of my work life so I can be available for my beautiful family at any time – what can I say, my gorgeous mother needs me around – the thing is I’m stuck on my next move and need a loving nudge with taking the plunge and planning the next steps – that’s where I’m hoping you come in!
Hoping to work with you in the future regardless of this giveaway outcome.
Keep shining your bright light on this precious corner of the internet – can’t wait to see the redesign.

Loved this for two specific reasons:
1. One lucky soul is going to be blessed by working with you (lucky him/her)
2. Your reminder of how spring effects our mind, body and spirit. (being in Denmark spring seems far away right now)
Thank you.
I need this! I had a 4am wake up call to tell me!
Not once have I had the courage to post a comment on any of the wonderful, amazing blogs that I follow, (let alone write on a blog of my own) I’m petrified of putting it out there, I freeze up like a stammering schoolgirl, I have total mind blocks, but here i am sitting in the dark on my front steps at 5am (so as not to wake my husband and 1 year old bubba) writing why I want to take this leap of faith and follow a dream I have been thinking about for 4 years, and why I’d be so grateful for your help.
I only came across your blog in the last week or so, so I’m taking it as a sign that I needed to do this. Put myself out there, ask for a helping hand and get it done, 4 years is a long time to have ideas swimming around without taking solid action and to be honest I’d pretty much given up.
So, I’d love to thank you for being inspiration, kind and generous. Thankyou for sharing your heart and life to the world, and thankyou for this very soulful give-away.
And I’d like to thank spring for new beginnings, because this is mine, because right now 4 year old dreamings are going to become reality.
So here goes I’m actually pressing submit…

WOW WOW WOW
Shannon. Once you break through your fears and limiting beliefs you are going to be unstoppable. Anyone that’s as intuitively connected as you and get out of bed at 4am to reach out for help is bound for big, bigger, biggest. You’re absolutely right, 4 years IS a long time for swimming ideas, time to take action honey. Use this new energy to propel you.
I’m so proud of you for pressing submit. And i would LOVE to work with you. You know where to find me. x
I’ve got some decisions to make that I’d really love some clarity on and I want encouragement to take some risks that I know I need to take. Great giveaway. Thank you!

Gorgeous Tara,
Literally found your blog in the last week via the equally inspiring Leonie Dawson!
I am on day FOUR of a massive DETOX, no wheat, no dairy, no red meat, no coffee, no yeast …… eeek – massively changing my diet after 30+ years of putting crap into my body!
On a personal level my youngest babe is off to school next year………and there is a great yawning chasm – my mind is in about a MILLION places!
What to do…….
What can I do to fill the spaces in between………..
………your loving guidance would be appreciated!
Hugs
Jodi

HI JODI!
Welcome. I adore seeing new readers pop up. I hope I can continue to inspire you with my blog posts, and if you decide you’d like to work with me, just get in contact and we’ll have a chat .

Hi Tara,
I love your blog and you are such an inspiration. Your list looks great : ).
I have my Dream Job doing intuitive readings and teaching others how to connect and communicate with their Spirit Guides. I love what I do but I really want to work on my money mindset/abundance aspect of my business and I would really LOVE to so that with you.
Thank you for this awesome give away and I wish everyone good luck.
Big hugs, Karina
Another beautiful post Tara, the sparks are bouncing off the page :)
I would love a month’s free coaching, goodness knows I could do with a hand figuring out how to get out of this rut, make a choice about which course to take next year, and how to shine brightly.
However, there are also lots of other lovely souls who clearly feel the same, so I’ll be happy to know that you will be helping someone shift their shit and get sparkly! Haha, if you know what I mean! :P
Love it xxx
Oh yeah! Sparkly shit! Atta girl. Love you x
Hey Tara,
I think this is a wonderful thing you are doing, and am wholeheartedly throwing my hand up in the air screaming (silently) pick me!! – picture gorgeous little kiddies in class who are desperate to answer the question!
Well, I know you know my story as I often turn to you for guidance or just a little snippet of positivity. For all of the other ladies out there…
My life is a tumble drier gone mad! I struggle to get a grasp on anything or hold onto ideas. I have a hard time making decisions because I am terrified I will make the wrong one.
This year I dove head first into my teaching degree, but have had family and personal troubles eating up all of my energy and drive to continue. Lots of big questions swirling around my crazy brain.
I would love for you to be able to further help me create some peace and clarity in my rough and tumble life.
Jaime x
Thanks so much Jaime babe, I know you’re going through a tough time right now.
But trust me even declaring what you need assistance with opens the floodgates to change.
If you ever want to work with me- you know where I am :)
BIG LOVE x
I’m on the Coast! Would LOVE to connect with you over a cuppa…. hooray for beautiful Spring time weather and NEW exciting beginnings :)
Yay , absolutely!
Hi Tara, your beautiful words and your pure honesty and vunerabilty has inspired me and others to also be in there truth .I feel as though I am at a cross road in my life at the moment I know where I want to go but at times it all seems so foggy I’m trying to find some clarity to clear the pathway to my dreams. Love and gratitude . Alexandra xxxxxx
Okay! Here I go… :)
I’d love for you to be my coach because I can feel that we’re on the same wavelength – we speak the same language and everything you say just makes SO MUCH sense when I hear it from you. Could be the same message elsewhere but when you say it – BOOM – explosion in my mind.
You’ve helped me to bust my fears with your blog post on Fear, and I am already at a much better place because of that.
Skyping with you gave me the chills. Oh yeah. If a 30 minute skype call can give me chills and open up a whole new space within me, I don’t know what will happen to me if you’re my coach. I don’t know.. yet, but I know it will create something amazing.
I want to stretch myself even FURTHER. Give freely, love unconditionally, and then just give back to this Universe all the insight that I gain. And I want you to help me with this journey and play a part in the unfolding of my path to greatness.
You’re such a beautiful soul Tara, please keep doing what you do.
This is a place where all gorgeous and beautiful souls gather to be inspired. Thank you for creating this space. Because you know what happens when all these amazing souls gather here…
Magic happens.

Hi Tara,
First up, thanks for this beautiful offering.
I NEED this coaching :-) I’m stuck. There is something wonderfully new inside of me waiting to be birthed. I have a biz. I’m good at what I do, very good. I get things easily and I’ve hit a brick wall. I’m a worker, a passion stirrer and believe in my very bones that people are incredible and beautiful.
I need clarity cos I need to beam like a laser light on this wall of stone that stands in front of me. Once I know something I can fly with it. This not knowing has flummoxed me and that ain’t fun.
I’m a happy gal with lots to be grateful for so my launchpad is strong. I need to know where to aim.
Thanks again. Juicy times for you with Leonnie, what a blast.
Love to everyone
Hugs
Cara
Hi beautiful Cara.
Hey- nice website name ;) Bliss power!
Honey If you still want to work with me, I’m wide open! I’d love to march side by side with you towards your dreams. x
Hi Tara,
Brought here by the ever inspiring Rach from inspacesbetween and loving your brilliance for life! I think I’m slightly obsessed with beautiful blogs like yours and have made it my goal that by the end of this year mine will be one that shines a bright light for others too!
I started riding my wild donkey last week and decided that my main focus should be exercise and nutrition. A week down and I feel so much more in control and focused. Now onto my career which is a part of my life I’d like to totally take to the next level and get clear about what I want before I move home, I’m moving back to south Africa in march next year after having lived in London for almost 7 years! I’m seeing this move as fresh start and a time to rally do something I’m passionate about. I finding it really difficult deciding what it is I want and how I can make a success of my passions, this is therefore where a month of your beautiful help would clear the clouds and put me onto the successful path!
Thanks for all your inspiration.

Hi Nicola and welcome! :)
Tell me about it- there’s a myriad of gorgeous, uplifting blogging circulating around and I’m definitely obsessed with many of them too. I’m so thrilled to hear that I’m one of those for you.
I love your energy sister. We should work together! xx
