Today’s blog is a bit different… The news out of Lakeland, Florida concerning the arrest of two young girls in connection with the suicide of a third compels me to write this blog. With the death of Rebecca Sedwick came the death of her dreams. The death of her hopes, and plans, and thoughts of…

Dreamers breed dreamers. My husband is a dreamer of the giant, “I want to change the world” type of dreams. My dreams aren’t as earth shattering, but to me, they’re compelling nonetheless. We’ve spent our nearly 30 years of marriage discussing, dissecting, and disseminating our dreams. The result? A house full of young dreamer wannabees.…

All my kids came home to visit this weekend. All eight of them… I’d forgotten how busy, and silly, and LOUD my house could be when the whole family is together. Our time together was refreshing. And rewarding… And reminding. Yep, our time together reminded me, once again, that there are dreams that I just…

Who’s got your back? Who is daily involved in helping you to fulfill your deepest dreams? We all need a dream team! Allow me to share my “Dream Team” with you… This guy cares as deeply for my dreams as he cares for his own! In fact, he’s been known to ignore his dreams to…

Have you ever wondered what you could do to make your dreams take off and grow? There is something very practical you can do, but I think what that something is perhaps might surprise you. If you want your dreams to climb to the next level, reach out and support someone else as they launch…

The day you admit you are who your dream says you are is an exciting fireworks bursting, cannons booming kind of day. The next day… Reality hits. Once you announce to the world and to yourself that you’re an artist… or writer… or entrepreneur… or counselor… or speaker… Or, whatever your particular dream conveys, suddenly…
