In past episodes, we gave ourselves permission to ask for what we really want, to express what our heart’s desire is! Then, we talked about developing your vision board to capture images, words, and items that illustrate those things that we want in our lives. The next step is writing goals.
I love writing goals! It’s a “sacred” process for me. I select a day/time where chances of being disturb are significantly reduced. I chose a place where I will be comfortable and that feels good to me. I get a notebook that I like and a special pen. Once these “ingredients” are ready, I am good to go!
Writing goals is, like my friend Margaret says, “where the rubber meets the road.” In this episode, Margaret and I talk about goals as a powerful tool to create the relationships, the finances, the home, the job, the life you want to live.
I am inspired to invite you to write goals in each category that you defined in your vision board. Go for it! It’s invigorating! Please share your goals on the Creative Permissions FB page, let’s all energize the future we want by sharing it. I will be sharing mine too.

Takeaways:
Goals are the tools that help us create what is in our vision. Organize your goal- writing process however it best works for you. Frequently, I see goals about relationships we want to have, the finances we want to experience, but also about spirituality, fun and travel, and expanding creativity. Your goals are unique to you. Have fun writing your goals and make sure to KISS - Keep it Simple and Sustainable! Include actions you can take to move forward your goal and add timelines as to when you want to achieve each step. Celebrate! Make sure to celebrate all the actions you take towards manifesting your goals and when they happen!Connect with Patty:

Have you given yourself permission to “make millions” doing whatever it is that makes you happy? In the last episode we talked about a foundational step for creating the life you want, which is to give yourself permission to go for it. Now what?
In this episode, Jackie Armstrong, founder of Jackie Armstrong Coaching, tells us about Vision Boards and how these are a great tool to visualize and manifest your desired future.
What would you like your finances to look like? How would you like relationships with friends and family to be? Or perhaps you want that “special somebody” to walk into your life? Or health, what does a healthy life look like to you?
Jackie shares tips and tricks to creating your own personal vision board. She describes vision boards as a compass that shows us the way to our desired future and how we can overcome certain resistances that stop us from this creative process. And, she also offers a gift to those that listen/watch the episode and connect with her.
I am inspired and want to invite you to create your own vision board and share it with me. I look forward to sharing mine and seeing yours!

It’s the beginning of the holiday season and a magical time to set intentions of what it is that you want to have happen next year. As I was starting to dream up my 2025, I realized that I was asking a necessary question that I was not excited about. During my daily “quiet time,” I got a more fun way of asking the same question in an expanded way.
I continued to reflect on the now improved question, but this time asking myself why I had never asked it. What I identified next was a series of limiting beliefs that had kept me from asking for what I really wanted.
Are you giving yourself permission to make millions? Are you aware of any beliefs that may be limiting your potential to reach millions?
In this episode I share the process that helped me identify a series of limiting beliefs so that you too can identify and release any limiting beliefs getting in the way of creating your best future.

The holidays are a magical time to set your goals and intentions for the next year. Limiting beliefs get in the way of asking for what you want and then manifesting those desires.

Do you ever wake up happy? Just a sense of pure happiness not associated with any particular event or accomplishment?
Last Sunday, as I was waking up and becoming conscious, what caught my attention was that I was just so feeling so happy. Nothing particular had happened the previous day (or night) and nothing special was happening that day. In fact, I was about to face a challenge that I was nervous and afraid of. So, where was my joy coming from?
In this episode I share my reflections related to happiness not as a destination, but instead as an experience. How through gratitude we can put ourselves in a state of grace and the magic that follows.

I am still in awe about how powerful words are.
On my last episode, I shared with you how I witnessed a miracle while having coffee with a dear friend. We shared encouraging words and over those words/energy and magic happened.
But, what happens when the words are not positive, loving and encouraging? As I wondered about this question, this morning on social media a story surfaced where a famous artist shared how painful his childhood was due to the words his father would frequently direct to him. In the interview, this artist asked, “Don’t people realize how much pain they can cause with what they say?”
In this episode I explore how our thoughts, which then become words, can lead to creating what we want and even what we do not want. I also share a tool that can easily be used to shift away from the thoughts and words that arise from fear, anxiety or any negative emotion.

Words are powerful vehicles that support our creating what we want and even what we do not want.

Words are powerful. They are the vehicles that carry our inner thoughts out into the world.
This past week, I witnessed a miracle. I experienced how words can help shift ourselves to abundant possibilities and open up to the magic and miracles that already exist for us, we just don’t know it yet.
In this episode, I am so grateful to share how I met up with my friend Erin and together, through the power of words, we moved from a wish to manifesting a reality that helped moved her forward in her healing journey.

Shout out to Zeta Tau Alpha for putting together a super successful Big Man on Campus Event! It was fun and over $72,000 were raised for breast cancer awareness and education. And, I had the honor of being a guest speaker at the event.
Two years ago, I was dealing with breast cancer. Today, I have a podcast and last week I stood on a stage in front of lots of people and shared my story. That is a first for me!
Friends have told me that I have made them think about the things they want to create and one day will. Immediately I ask, why not now?
In this episode, I want to encourage each and every one of you to start on those projects that you have thought about but have not acted on. I share with you what has helped me start on my projects. Such as, early every morning I start my day conversing with the Universe and have learned that there is ALWAYS a response. All that is needed to catch these responses is an open heart and to be paying attention as the answers may come at different times and in different manners.
Take one step today towards any project you have on the “back burner” and keep me posted. I really am interested in your success and would love to know how the Universe is conversing with you.

Have you ever had questions that kept bouncing around in your mind until all of a sudden answers arrived in the most unimagined ways. That is what happened to me when I visited Casa Batlló.
On my journey towards health, I had lots of time to ponder. I was asking questions such as what is my purpose? What fills my heart with joy? What is it that I want to make sure I do before I go to the “other side”?
I kept researching and exploring and always holding close to heart these questions when I walked into the main room in Casa Batlló. As I was in awe of the Antonio Gaudi’s masterpiece, a thought popped into my mind, as if I was being told, “this is heaven on earth.”
In this episode, I share with you what “heaven to earth” means to me and what would living following that premise look like. I invite you to ask yourself that question and be open to exploring its meaning and the opportunities that will come up for you.
I am really interested in knowing what you discover, so please share what is your “heaven to earth” and what are you doing to bring that forward into the world.

Takeaways:
When a question is asked, an answer will follow, but sometimes the answer does not come up in the timing we want or the form we expected. To tap into our talents and gifts is to tap into the highest version of ourselves. Some say that when we are able to go within and connect with this highest version of ourselves, we are connecting to the Divine in us. Each one of us is able to bring forward our “heaven to earth” and be a contribution to the planet.Connect with Patty:

Cancer does not only impact the person going through the illness. It becomes a family affair. In this episode I am honored to introduce you to my son, Niko.
I wanted to protect my children from my diagnosis. I was worried about how they would worry about me. I was also worried about how they would feel and any fears that may come up. But I never had really asked them how the experience was until now.
In this episode, I asked Niko to share how it was like to have his mom be diagnosed with breast cancer and then see her go through treatment. Some of his responses really surprised me!
He candidly shared when it became a reality for him, the hardest moments and the direct impact that having a close family member with cancer had on his life. He also shared how he had trust that things would be OK and how he arrived to this trust.

On my journey to health from breast cancer, I initially focused my efforts on healing my body and used my brain to research available alternatives. I discovered nutrition options and exercise plans and felt good about the actions I was taking to take care of my body. Then I noticed that my heart felt really tight and small. At that moment I realized I was afraid, in fact I was terrified.
In this episode, I share about the missing piece in my life, how I found it and transformed the fear in my heart to joy. I gave myself permission to experience the unconditional love that has always been there for me, but I just did not reach for it. I invite you to open your mind and your heart to experience the Divine and fill your heart with love and experience being loved unconditionally.
Takeaways:
On our journey to creating our best lives, it’s necessary to engage the mind, body and heart. Give yourself permission to break away from any beliefs that may be limiting your experience of connecting to the Divine. Open your heart to experiencing the Divine and be open to the magic and miracles that will follow.Connect with Patty:

Is there anything you have wanted to do and just can’t seem to get it done?
Life gets busy. We have work, and family, and friends, and obligations, and responsibilities we need to take care of. There just isn’t enough time to do it all, so we put aside those things that we’d love to do or learn or simply explore. But when are we going to have time for those things that our heart desires?
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was forced to face many questions and one that I asked myself was, if I only had a year to live, what would I want to make sure I did? And that is when I gave myself permission to, like the song. “get up off the wall” and dance.
What are you waiting for to get started on your heart’s desires?
In this podcase, I share tips to support you in giving yourself permission to move forward and create your best life.
