From Book to Movie to Retreat Center!!!
Tax deductible
I have a big dream. My dream came to me on the last day of a 7 day event, Breakthrough to Success (BTS) with Jack Canfield in August, 2010. My dream is based on Jack Canfield's work. He's the Chicken Soup for the Soul guy. He's a teacher of the Law of Attraction. He is the founder of the Transformational Leadership Council. He is America's number 1 success coach currently training the next generationof human potential leaders. His work is amazing and literally has the potential to transform our schools, our health care system, our businesses, our personal lives, and the future of our planet.
I have piloted Jack's work in my middle school and high school health classrooms and have taught it to adults in personal development settings. The results have been phenomenal.
My dream is to bring Jack's work into schools across the country and to create a destination retreat center where teens, young adults people can immerse themselves in the work and leave with an actionable, detailed, entrepreneurial plan based on their passion, life purpose and vision along with a network of support when they leave.
Recently I published a book titled Match Meets the Metaphysical: A Transformational Journey to Light and Love. It was released on June 12, 2013 and became a best seller overnight!
Apparently, according to the Universe's plan, that was just the beginning! I didn't see the connection between the book and my big dream ... but I am beginning to see the light.
I was inspired to write my story after a pretty significant sequence of metaphysical experiences that literally rocked my world. The inspiration was powerful and I knew the story needed to be told. I would get woken up in the middle of the night, haunted by a voice that kept telling me to write the book ... but really had no idea how to go about it.
Before I could write, I needed some help sorting out the experiences. I consulted with the White Mountain Center for Creative Development and the Hypnosis Center. I received support and guidance from their hypnotherapists and psychic mediums which helped to clarify parts of my story as it was unfolding.
Once I got clear and was ready to write, I got some help from founders of the Center, Penny and Michael Hathaway who coached me on the writing, editing and cover design of what is now my book. I am forever grateful for the encouragement, support and guidance I received throughout the process.
The morning after I hit "Approve" and sent the final proof to the publisher, I woke up in the middle of a wild dream. I was on a movie set, sitting in a director's chair, beads of sweat on her forehead from the bright lights, watching the film crew shoot a scene from her book while the Blues Traveler lyrics "Hollywood's calling for the movie rights" ran through my head.
I couldn't fall back to sleep. I got up, made coffee and went online to check email. I was a bit surprised to find an email from my mentor Jack Canfield's publicist inviting me to learn how to prepare my book manuscript to be turned into a movie. I was struck by the synchronicity ... and immediately got goosebumps.
Goosebumps make me pay attention. I have learned that when I get goosebumps, I need to look for signs that will lead me to the next right step ... and often to amazing connections, synchronicities and magical opportunities!
I followed the link and it led me to a program designed to help authors get their books ready for the big screen; guiding their projects through the process of getting them ready for a producer, getting the project into the hands of at least two producers, and coaching authors on meeting with producers about movie options.
Unfortunately, publishing the book has been a costly process both financially and in terms of time, so I decided to set a long term goal to bring the book to the screen over the next year or two when funds loosened up.
Fast forward a few weeks after my book was released : positive reviews have been pouring in from readers from all directions. I am especially excited and overwhelmed with the feedback from readers telling me that the book is impacting their lives in a big way; helping them to see things from a whole new perspective and giving them tools to fuel their personal journey towards a life of passion and purpose. Several readers suggested that the book would make a great movie ... and that feedback has not stopped.
I am able to clearly visualize the story on the big screen. I've thought alot about the movin thing and realized that it's really not really about making my book into a movie for the sake of fame and fortune ... it's more about what a movie deal would afford me. My big vision! It's about creating the resources to implement my plan to bring Jack's amazing work to kids across the country and develop my retreat center!
I am clear about the next step I need to take to make that happen, but, up until now, I didn't see how I could possibly afford to get the book ready for a producer!
Enter ... The Universe!
A few days ago, I had a repeat of the movie set dream and woke up to the same lyrics : and goosebumps!
Again I couldn't fall back to sleep. I signed onto Facebook just in time to see a status post by one of my friends that included a link to an article by Jack Canfield (my mentor) about his success principle "Ask! Ask! Ask!" ... followed by another friend's post about GoFundMe ... followed by a whole bunch more goosebumps!
I read the article and checked out gofundme and the goosebumps quickly led me to the next right step.
The Universe is calling me to take big action. It's calling for a big ASK : and it doesn't seem to want to wait for my long range timeline.
I approached the White Mountain Center for Creative Development and asked them to help me raise $5000. They are happy to support the project ... so here we are ASKing for your support to bring my story to the screen.
Specifically, your contribution will support me in working directly with a publicist and screenwriter to develop the screenplay vision, logline and treatment (Hollywood lingo) for my book, get the project in front of at least two Hollywood producers over the next several months and coach me about meeting with producers to discuss and negotiate movie options.
Match Meets the Metaphysical: A Transformational Journey to Light and Love is a profound story that touches upon a realm that is often experienced, but is not often given a voice. The book is based on a true story about a young woman going through major life transition while developing her intuitive and psychic abilities, exploring past life connections and learning to trust guidance she gets from the other side.
This movie, if brought to the screen, will entertain a wide range of viewers while opening up an important dialogue about life that goes well beyond our five senses and providing insight about our purpose for being on the planet.
Based on the work I do with kids and the kinds of questions and stories I get from them about their metaphysical experiences, I believe that the timing is perfect for this project to come to fruition.
Clearly the Universe does as well ... thus all the goosebumps.
Best case scenario is that the movie will be one way to help adults open up to possibilities and support their kids as the veil continues to get thinner ... And I will have developed the funds to vring my dream to fruition.
Worst case scenario is that I will have what I need to continue to pursue movie rights with additional producers and the book will continue to entertain readers and provide insight to anyone looking for ways to go through transition, reduce fear and expand their capacity for unconditional love. Either way, it's a win!

Please tweet and post this link http://www.gofundme.com/3ltzi8on Facebook and share this request with your email lists. The Universe certainly brought the project to this step : I hope you will help me take it to the next step!
Please note that any contributions raised from this campaign in excess of specific project expenses will go to the tuition scholarship fund for classes and programs offered at the White Mountain Center for Creative Development and the White Mountain Hypnosis Center.
If I land a movie deal the movie money will go to fund my big audacious goal to bring Jack's Success Principles to young people all over the country and create a wonderful place for people to come get clear about their passion, their life purpose a vision for their future along with gaining the skills, tools and support to create it!
