The past couple of weeks I've been buried in numbers.
Other than the obvious financial things like doing my tax returns and filling out financial aid forms, there are a few other not-so-obvious numbers I'm looking at:
214 - to date, the number of photographers who have joined the Sonoma Count ...

Any one of the women here on 8 Women Dream can attest that getting to close to your dreams is an occupational hazard.
They are OURS, after all. Who else is going to pay attention to the finer details?
I had an incredible opportunity this week to work with Remy (yes OUR Remy) in her other life ...

At least it's what I hope to show you in my upcoming posts.
I'm thrilled as much as a girl can be to be included in the 8 Women Dream blog.
I hope you'll follow me on my journey in getting our screenplay, Divine Intervention seen, shopped around and hopefully produced.
I've been told, "Blo ...

Last week was a happy blur....
It was a whirlwind week, full of meetings, client deadlines, writing, workouts, dancing, time with friends. It would have been easy, with all the looming deadlines, to just work, work, work.
To forget to play. Or to rest.
Now, let me clarify that I did not ...

Hola hermanas and fellow dreamers, or soñadores prójimos.
Forgive me if this week's post is a bit short.
I'm in Mexico so I can't be responsible for a responsible post.
At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Here goes.
I've been overeating and drinking since I got here.

It's been an interesting two weeks in the land of dreams.
While it’s not impossible to achieve our dreams, the achievement part of dreaming is definitely not for the faint of heart. I tell people, "Don’t expect it to come easily; expect it to be hard."
Having the right expectations at the ...

I can hardly believe a year has passed since I joined 8 Women Dream. When I started, I was recovering emotionally from marriage upheaval, panic attacks and a loss of joy in my art. A lot has changed in one year.
Two years ago I merrily painting away and had just started Grad School when ...

Are you training for the Bay to Breakers yet?
Am I motivating you to get out and walk?
It's only 70 days away people . . .
This week I put tools in place to support a healthy lifestyle, one of them is to begin my day by meeting a friend at the gym.
We support each other in an upper ...

Before I had my chance to blog with 8 Women Dream, I didn't really pay extra attention to "sources".
I would find catchy phrases and put them up on the bulletin board in my office, repeat them enough times so that they eventually became my own.
I'd find photos that reminded me of my dreams, ...

Tell me if this happens to you. A problem is staring you in the face, begging for a solution. You bang your head on the wall looking for the solution, then something distracts you from the problem for just a few minutes.
POOF! There's your solution.
My distraction came in the form of assisting ...

This video is an interview with Nicholas Kazan, a second-generation screenwriter who has made a reputation for strong psychological dramas.
He is the son of famed screenwriter-producer-director-actor Elia Kazan, and has a talent for scripts described as "edgy, terse, bleakly funny".
He offers ...

Hi Everyone,
While I am certainly not giving up on my dream of becoming an accomplished equestrian, it is with mixed feelings that I have chosen to leave 8 Women Dream. So, this will be my last post.
8 Women Dream deserves nothing less than someone who can be fully committed to the group. ...

If you ask me if heaven is where we go after we die, I will say no, heaven is now, it is where I have been this past weekend, gliding across an open expanse of hardwood floor, blues music reverberating throughout the room, lights turned down low, feeling the soul groove, dancing in the arms of a han ...

I found myself driving four High school girls (one of them being my fabulous 17-year-old daughter Perrie) out to an old mental institution.
Wait until you're a parent.
I didn't realize that behind this incredibly spooky mad house there was this amazing camping area available to local schools.

As I begin to write, my first thoughts are of the people of Chile.
Rocking a 8.8 earthquake must feel like the world is coming to an end.
When mother nature decides to roll over in bed, we are thrown to the floor and shown how little we control.
Catastrophes like this are a sober reminde ...
