Over the weekend, I gave myself a challenge:
Build a brand-new website in 10 hours.
Not because I needed one. (Does anyone really “need” a website?)
It certainly wasn’t a smart strategic move. There were plenty of other practical and productive tasks I could spend time on.
I bought a new domain name on a whim a few weeks ago and…something in me needed to see what wanted to live there.
The domain is:
StephDragonheart.com
My little mind had so much to say about this!
“Shouldn’t you be spending your time improving what’s already working?”
“Do you really need another experimental project right now?”
“Aren’t you a little old to be playing with dragons?”
Still, the inspired nudge won. I went with what I wanted to do, not what made sense logically.
Because in my experience…
Everytime you do what you really want, something amazing happens.
A bunch of writing and reflecting happened while I was building that site, and one of the questions I pondered was:
What do I want to be known for?
I realized I don’t want to be “famous-famous.” I want to be niche famous. That’s the kind of mini-famous where the right people (my people) know me for something.
Who are my people?
The dreamers, artists, coaches, spiritual mischief-makers and entrepreneurs who feel called to bring deeper understanding and more joy into the world through their projects. They’re the visionaries who talk to Life and hear it whisper back.
I want to be known as the person they come to when they’re holding a dream that feels big, impractical, or maybe even impossible.
I get to be the mid-wife who brings it into form by grounding their biggest, truest calling into action NOW, not after they’ve completed the checklist of things that “must” happen first.
I want to be known as Steph Dragonheart, who helps make the impossible inevitable.
So I’m building StephDragonheart.com as my declaration of this.
Even though the colors are all wrong and the layout sucks and it’s not public-ready.
Now it’s your turn:
What do you want to be known for?
And are you allowing yourself to actually live that in huge or tiny ways?
If you’re ready to move that dream from your head into the real world, let’s talk. Come play with me and we’ll see what magic wants to happen.
Yours in love and play,
Steph
