I have been feeling stuck. And, it’s been getting worse. How do I know? Because my library has grown at an exponential rate for the last few weeks. It’s kinda of like getting a cold. First I feel a little out of sorts, then some body aches, a fever and then before I know it…

Disconnecting doesn't mean doing nothing
Yesterday, Sunday, I took a break and disconnected. Other than turning on my laptop for five-minutes to print something my husband absulutely needed yesterday, I did just what I said I would. No computer, no email, no Twitter. It was easier than I thought it would be. Mainly because disconnecting doesn’t mean doing nothing. I…

Exploring with pictures
I finally bought a digital camera. I’ve wanted one for a long time. I even wrote about feeling envious when a friend bought his new digital camera last month. I fretted about this purchase for weeks and drove myself crazy reading reviews and comparing brands. I always do this to myself. I researched my last…

Ten-Day Sabbatical Recap
Well, my ten-day sabbatical away from my ‘day-job’ has ended and Monday is here. It was an absolutely fabulous week. Fun. Productive. Exhilarating. Exhausting (in a good way). Relaxing. And Creative. I did just what I said I was going to do. I wrote every day, meditated every day, got my new website up and…
The Dreaming Cafe's new site has launched…
Last week I announced that The Dreaming Cafe’s new website would launch on Earth day, April 22, 2009. Well, SURPRISE, we launched today, March 22, 2009, four weeks early!! Why? Because waiting for everything to be perfect just slows the whole process down. The new site is a work in progress. I am using the…
