“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and…

One Commitment at a Time
How many times have you committed to more than one goal, project or objective and then ended up feeling overwhelmed and pulled in too many directions? Did you keep plugging along? Or, did you end up quitting and not accomplishing a whole lot? I usually take on too much. I underestimate the amount of time,…
Not Enough
Since the start of the New Year I’ve been feeling like I’m falling further and further behind in keeping up with my dreams and keeping up with The Dreaming Cafe. Part of me is able to stand back and acknowledge all that I have accomplished while also meeting the many personal obligations I have –…
52 Weeks One Day at a Time
How do you close out the year? Is it a flurry of activity, get-togethers and parties with family and friends? Do you take time to reflect on the year that is coming to a close and plan for the New Year? I like to take time throughout the month of December to reflect on where…
Why I Read Less

She described her dreams as ebbing and flowing, from one dream to the next, changing from…
How Did I Get Here?
A recent article in Barbara Winter’s 25th Anniversary issue of Winning Ways gave a quick snapshot of highlights from the last 25-years since she started Winning Ways and teaching Making a Living Without a Job (which eventually blossomed into one of my favorite books). Her article had me looking into my own past and is…
My Journey to Self-Discovery: A New Chapter Unfolds
When my Mom was diagnosed with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer in August 2009 I recognized that I would be taking on the role of caregiver. I also recognized that I wouldn’t be able to do this while also working full-time and building my business on the side, part-time. Something had to give. A few…
