I did it!!!! YES!!!
Even though the Kickstarter campaign was very challenging indeed, I could maintain my vision high and always believed that I could achieve my declared goal (£5,000).

So, I was intentional, purposeful, and was acting from a space of love, confidence and connection to my Soul’s desires.
What did it take from me to run a fundraising campaign with the big rule that Kickstarter has (no fully funded, no money at all!), by myself and being successful in the end?
- First of all, the motivation to move forward in life, for me and my daughter.
- Second, the belief that my story books are amazing and that they deserve to be published and enjoyed by many children.
From this starting point, I consciously dived deep down into the uncertainty.
It was an unknown territory for me.
It was the first time I was doing such a challenging task.
So, I got to put in place a “Maniac on a mission”
strategy in order to make this happen, while being a single mum, cooking, tidying up, doing school runs, teaching Spanish, and many more...
What it took from me was to visualise that I had already reached my goal, since the beginning.
It took from me to stand into my creative feminine power.
It took from me to step out of my comfort zone and leave behind my fears of rejection and victimhood stories.
It took from me to detach of the limiting belief of ‘what others might think’.
It took from me to be courageous enough to reach out to people that I didn’t even know, to call them out, to ask them for support… because I am worthy and so my project of children books!
It also took from me to be vulnerable and to let everyone know about my survivor story in the UK.
It took from me to dare to go beyond my mind, because the Soul always knows best.
It took from me to shut down from my brain all the unhelpful comments that I was getting: “you’re not going to make it”, “you are asking too much!”, “you should have chosen another platform so that you get at least part of the money”, “you should find a 9:00 to 5:00 job instead”…
And, it also took from me to believe that the world gets to see my talents!
Yes, I get to acknowledge that it was stressful, and at some point not fun at all! That was the moment I got emotional support, and two beautiful angels came to my way to show me that it was possible if I played a bigger game! Thanks for always being at my side!
Then, I embodied my powerful Inner Goddess and things started to shift!
I started to have fun again!
Maybe it was the Super Moon, but everything aligned smoothly and I connected from the heart with more people, with influencers, with beautiful people I follow and admire but that we don’t know each other… and what it took from me was to show me as who I really am, easy as that!
Magic? No! It’s intention! And courage!
What this experience has shown me, is that I am not alone, that I am loved and supported no matter what adventure I get into, and that it is always worthy to dare and go beyond our fears and limiting beliefs, because what we find at the other side of that fine line that divides us, is our grandiosity, our confidence, our strength, our worthiness…
I express my most deep gratitude to all the beautiful people who supported my Kickstarter project in many different ways.
