Mel & Mich's Dream Partnership

Project 2013-12-16 19:23:37 +1300

Thank you for visiting our PledgeMe site!

We have an ask – we hope you’ll consider helping us either with financial support, or by spreading the word – and we have a few Thank You gifts we’d like to offer in return (see below)

OUR ASK:

NZD$2,000 (or more, if you wish!)

Mel is a writer desiring to move from fear to courage in her writing (and work) who is in desperate need of a writing/life coach. Mich is a writer, counsellor and coach with a dream to travel to Ecuador in 2015.

Your support will buy Mel 40 hours of coaching from Mich which will provide her with

-support;

& help her:

-to build courage and dismantle fears that inhibit her writing process

-to find clarity and help shape future writing focus.

By assisting Mel with much needed funds to pay for coaching from Mich, you will also be enabling Mich to reach her goal of travelling to Ecuador in 2015 to relax and recharge after completing her degree. See how cool that is? Your one donation will help TWO people reach their dreams!!

WHY WE’D LIKE YOUR HELP:

We can’t do it alone.

A BLURB FROM MEL:

Some people give everything up for their dreams.

I, though, have been lucky. I’ve been pushed, time and again, to pursue mine.

Twice, I quit jobs without a backup plan. And in each job hunting season, I was offered writing contracts which shouldn’t have been mine (i.e. I did not have experience or publishing credits to merit their confidence and money). I am working on my second major writing contract now.

I am where I am now because of some people’s kindness and choice to invest in me.

Though it is wonderful getting paid to write, I also wrestle with it. Put simply, I learned that writing alone in a room for a long time can drive you absolutely nuts. (If you can help it, I say, don’t write for a living).

Recently, as my project deadline draws nearer, I’ve had to face The Question. Will I continue to write after this? Or will I quit?

It sounds cheesy, but after a lot of ‘going nuts’, I still feel like writing is one of the things I was made to do.

In that case, it’s only fair to Providence and other people that I do it very well.

To do that … I’ll need PLENTY of courage and help.

I need a good coach.

Enter Mich: I love and admire her as a woman. She dreams and she does. She loves herself and others. And being a skilled counsellor and writer herself, I know she will be able to help me grow as a person and as a writer as we delve into the real questions – and the real actions.

As a client, for every hour that I ask Mich to coach me, I want to be able to pay her fairly (and that is out of my budget constraints right now). As a friend, I want to see her FLY and accomplish the things that are on her heart.

So … I happen to know Mich is raising funds to travel to Ecuador in 2015. Funds raised through PledgeMe will buy her air ticket as well as help me access valuable coaching I would not be able to afford on my own.
