“I am more believing in myself. I can do this. I can really do this!…. a fun course with great positive and inspiring content. I loved it all!” Bonita Rose. Fargo, USA.

“I was able to identify previously unknown goals / big dreams.   it got me working in my sketchbook / journal again!  it made me really focus on what i want from my art. I would recommend Big Dreams, Small Wonders to anyone who needs a little push to move forward and boost of self-confidence in pursuing their dreams.  It’s given me some great new tools & techniques to battle the negative voice in my head that can be quite discouraging at times!” Femi Ford. USA

“I LOVED your course; I had ideas for my Wild at Art business percolating in my mind but having your structure made me articulate this. I have now got much more clarity regarding a way forwards and can see that I can start to implement small steps and plans while finishing up my last 2 year contract at my school.” Katie Flowers. Hong Kong

“I loved drawing up a picture of my ideal world.  It really got me thinking about little things I could do that would get me closer to what I want to be. I have come to know myself even better and stretched myself outside of my old boundaries.” Lesley Barr. Steamboat Springs, CO, USA

“What stands out for me is the “Tree with Roots” for Energy & Affirmations. Also the “Wheel” and “mapping” techniques. They are great creative visuals. It’s initiated a fun, creative perspective of bringing focus and clarity to where I’m at and where to put my energy/attention to vivify what I want to experience more of. Louise, you really have this course planned out well. A lot can happen in 30 days and you give participants plenty with the daily inspirations and action plans.” Tayanna. Baraboo, WI, USA

“It was of great benefit to me to put last year behind me and clarify what my goals are for the year ahead. the things I really took away were around the importance of planning, and being able to see the bigger picture. The importance of dreaming big dreams, as well as little everyday ones.” Louise Docherty. Melbourne, Australia

“I have been making steady progress on my dreams, but this helped me to dream bigger.” Sandi Volpe.

I really feel I got something out of every part you wrote, but specifically I love the idea of the letter (which I will be sending shortly), SMARTER was a revelation, I enjoyed all  the “act now” parts too….encouraged me to “act! in that moment rather than being left to my own devices, as sometimes I do need to be told do it now! Its also given me techniques to follow that are very helpful in working out what it is I want to achieve and how to make these dreams into manageable little steps that will take me forward to my dreams becoming real! Yes! It’s full of wonderful techniques that will take you closer to realising your dreams and making them real!” Jenny Blair, Scotland

“I am enjoying the visualizing of my dreams in a creative way … I have always had so many ideas in my head …that often times they would drive me crazy … but being able to put them down and be creative at the same time was a perfect fit … In a minute I would recommend your e-course …It was fun !!! I loved the inspiration and the positive energy … every post you could feel it …

I am so pleased that I found your site and that I took a chance with you for my very first creative e-course …I have to say it was an amazing experience for me … one that I will cherish always … Thank you” Patti Fortune. Canada

“Louise has been an incredible source of inspiration and has taught me valuable lessons- at an age when I rather expected my learning days were over. Among the best of them…
FOCUS: Louise has really helped me clearly define what my goals are and perhaps more importantly articulate them – a dream that can’t be named can’t be made real
COURAGE: She is a fantastic example of the benefits of following your dream and the happiness that comes from doing what you are passionate about. The success she’s had seems proof that the real risk comes from not trying
ENVIRONMENT: Louise creates an atmosphere that cultivates creativity- at events hosted in her house or at the table of a cafe. She’s emphasized to me the importance of not only finding time for art, but making space for it- real space in your life.”
Jenna, Brooklyn, NY

“I attended Louise’s intentions brunch in January last year – and I can honestly say it has still been one of the best afternoons of the year! On a cold, icy January day, Lou offered me a warm welcome, a supportive environment – and a wealth of materials to use to create my “vision” of 2010. I still have my vision board taped to my bedroom door so that I see it every day and am reminded of the things I want to achieve. It’s such an inspiration!“
Debbie, Wheehawken, NJ

“So often, we play it safe and hide in our heads, but you have to put what it is you want out there, no matter how silly those wants may sound to you. They aren’t silly. We all get our specific desires for a reason. So not only did attending Louise’s Intentions brunch help me focus on what it is I truly want, but what was also helpful was that there were other women there who are on similar journeys and we could take care of and encourage each other. Louise gave us the space to put ourselves out there in a joyful way.“
Miranda, Brooklyn Heights, NY

“What a way to bring in the new year. Louise’s intention brunch helps and inspires you to create a colourful visual pictorial of your dreams and hopes for the year to come. Spending the day with friends discussing hope and dreams warms the heart and fills you with a great sense of community, knowing that you have this support in the year to come. This ritual ignites the soul, fuels you with passion and is infused with Louise’s infectious joyous energy!”
Diane, Harlem, NYC

“The intentions brunch brought together a group of women who were able to creatively share their goals and dreams visually and verbally for the year ahead. Everyone offered support and encouragement with a lot of laughter. Louise is such an inspiration to all those she meets.”
Leanne, Mamaroneck, NY

I had a great time….It definitely helped to see it all come together on paper, and to share ideas and learn so much more about each other. I’ve yet to meet all of my goals, but I’m definitely proud of my new jogging routine and for organizing the big Cutchogue trip. I still have time to volunteer, and there are lots of opportunities coming up with the holidays just around the corner. I just need to JFDI!! My motto recently….
