To find some great places to eat in New York. Now that I have my dates set and an itinerary, I have a few weeks to find restaurants to go to. I know that I don’t want to eat at the hotel because the reviews say that it is very expensive and not worth the price. [...]

Last week started with a pity party. Instead of painting Monday, I spent the day at the doctors being diagnosed with bronchitis and on the same day my husband had dental surgery which included bone grafting. Tension was building as I awaited for results from the jury on the Napa Museum plein air show. Two [...]
How To Reach Success By Dedicated Dreaming, Even on Tax Day
Since joining 8 Women Dream, it has become apparent to me that reaching my dream of becoming an accomplished rider is going to require some dedication. Up to this point, I have allowed my riding to take a backseat to the rest of my life. It was something to be done “if I got to [...]
From Screaming to Multi-Tasking
I started a new story this week and scared myself silly. I spent one entire night screaming into my husband’s ear (before you get any ideas, no he wasn’t enjoying it). If asked directly I would deny any enjoyment myself although there is some part of me that kind of likes being that scared. Nightmares. [...]
Who Else Wants A New York Dream
Well I did it! We are booked for New York and I’m VERY excited, nervous, anxious, but mostly excited. Now the worrying starts. First with the hotel. I booked a 4 star hotel through Priceline. Now I’m thinking since I received a good deal that I’ve probably been given the dungeon room: the darkest, stinkiest, [...]
It’s Easter and I’m Too Embarrassed To Admit My Dream
It was a typical Friday: I push the snooze button one two many times, climb out of bed and put on yesterday’s clothes. I like my sleep. I commute my fifteen year old son to school in another town. Usually I leave the house in a flurry with un-brushed hair and teeth to make sure [...]
Double The Effort, Double The Riding Time
Here we are and another week has passed since I wrote anything about working on my dream of being an accomplished horse rider. I just need to bite the bullet and get on Nikki. Normally, my plan for getting back to riding goes like this: Lunge for a couple of days, lunge with saddle on [...]
We Have To Keep Moving
What ever made me think that I didn’t have to exercise on a regular basis and still be healthy? That’s just not realistic. I HAVE to exercise. I HAVE to make an effort and not take the easy way out; like telling my daughters to go upstairs and get something for me (instead of getting [...]
How To Get That Euphoric Feeling When Dreaming
When it rains it pours. About a month ago I was thinking that I need to find a place to display my paintings. They spend most of their time sitting around my studio patiently waiting for my June and October shows (Open Studios). Then a couple of weeks ago, I received an email from a [...]
How To Take The First Step Towards Riding My Horse
I’m great at first steps. I’m OK at second and sometimes even third steps. Its the steps after those that give me trouble. I know what I need to do to keep my progress going, but I allow life to get in the way. What’s “life”? In my case it’s: kids (pick-up, drop off, bathe, [...]
What To Do When The Writing Bug Hits
I was sitting in a restaurant with my husband when I was overcome with the need for a pen. I didn’t just want a pen; I needed this pen like I needed to breathe. My blood rushed through me at lightning speed causing my scalp to tingle and, OKAY, okay I don’t really know what [...]
How To Overcome My Fear of Flying
As I am researching flights for N.Y., I feel some unwanted butterflies stirring in my stomach. The bad kind of butterflies, not the good kind. Maybe I should call them moths;) I remember that I hate flying. Anxiety always hits me the night before a flight, continues during the drive to the airport, stays through [...]
