When it comes to my own dreams, I am the queen of procrastination.
I need deadlines and milestones to keep my dreams on track.
I've had milestones on the calendar for a year - small, medium and large milestones all neatly set up. However, the infernal calendar keeps letting me know how quickly ...

Most moviegoers are unaware of how truly hard it really is to get a script sold in Hollywood.
We buy the tickets, load up on popcorn, candy and soda, grab a seat and wait for the lights to go down and the coming attractions to appear on the big screen.
We are oblivious to the odds that are sta ...

For my thirty-sixth birthday a few years ago, I bought myself private aerial silk dancing lessons so I could learn to spin, twirl, and hang upside in the air, held up by ropes of red silk.
In my very first lesson, I was already doing upside-down straddle splits, forming a human cross, inverted in ...

Hidey Ho Bitches!
I'm home from an incredibly great road trip.
Finished off my vacation today with an artsy, fartsy workshop with three of my favorite people.
We spent the day at Schoolhouse Studio in Occidental.
Susan St. Thomas, an artist, teacher and astrologer was our facilitator.

Ladies, I'm driving back from vacation as this gets posted on 8 Women Dream.
So I'm sticking my Club Bitch rap video up just in case I don't quite make it over to leave my weekly rap.
Traveling is a great inspiration for your dreams.
If you are feeling stuck - take in some new scenery.
I ...

This may startle you: Dreaming big dreams does not mean you must be perfect, work your fingers to the bone or be incredibly lucky in life.
Too many people believe in order to go after their dream, they must take monumental steps, change everything in their life and completely ignore their family ...

My constant companion as I write is my 13-year-old Jack Russell terrier, Whiskey. See him?
As a puppy he used to sit in my lap while I worked at my home office desk.
I faced the PC screen, so he faced the PC screen.
I was quiet, so he was quiet.
If I cursed, he would growl.
My typing ...

My best friend is getting married and I have the wonderful distinction of being her maid-of-honor.
Isn't it convenient for my dream of dating again and falling in love, that weddings are the number 1, high-quality singles event in the world?
Yes, I am still looking at the many ways a girl can ...

I've been focused lately when it comes to accomplishing my dreams of becoming a renowned photographer.
In January I started reading “Bob Scott's 52 Key Business Growth Concepts” – the idea is that each week I read one concept and install it into my photography business. In some weeks the ...

Where is your inspiration coming from today?
Most of us would not say advertising.
I get to play with design on a daily basis - stuff that gets printed and fun projects online. Rarely do I get to put together a real impact, shock-you-out-of-your-seat campaign. So I find inspirational design r ...

What would you do if someone laid a golden opportunity in your lap?
Would you be able to spot it as an opportunity? Would you pass it off like a hot potato, afraid of what might transpire?
Or would you see it as a "gift" and take full advantage of it?
My "gift" would not have been possible ...

After three magical weeks in Spain, it feels surreal to be back stateside.
Just last week I was celebrating Spain’s first World Cup win in San Sebastian, cheering, dancing, and kissing strangers in the streets.
My days and nights were filled with mini-adventures and moments of pure beauty: ...
