You had to be in the room! How God continues to give us a fresh word after 7 years of facilitating this vision board process is still baffling to me. But He does… Every. Single. Time!

This year’s Rhema word was identifying what hurdles needed to be overcome in order to pursue our God-sized vision. And the Dreamers rose to the occasion!

The Dream It Retreat is hard but necessary work. I’m so grateful God sent this group of people to have this experience together.

It’s important to be in the room. Don’t miss the next one! October 24th + 25th, 2026!

SMART goals look great in theory.
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound.

But if we’re honest, they’re not created with your purpose in mind, they’re built for performance.

That’s why I prefer FOCUS goals.
Fixed. Obvious. Constructive. Urgent. Strategic.

They don’t just look organized. They work!

SMART goals say, “Do more.”
FOCUS goals say, “Do what matters.”

When your goals are clear, prayerful, and practical, they direct you.

What goal in your life needs more focus right now?

At The Dream It Retreat, we’ll teach you how to build goals that move with faith and structure, not pressure and perfection.

We’re just 1 week away! Ticket sales close on Monday, October 20th. Use code: Dream25 for $25off. Visit lakeshagates.com to purchase.

My favorite words “I never thought about that”…

When I’m on coaching calls, I love hearing those 5 little words because it tells me the client has opened up enough for me to explore possibilities for them.

From my clients own mouth:

“I got so much out of our time together. I’ve already started to pivot on a few things where I was feeling stuck.”
