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 ...
This week we are featuring an email from one of our readers who requested assistance with her dream. It has been our plan on 8 Women Dream to further involve our readers (and other dreamers) in this process - and in our website here. I believe this email is a good place to start. It is m ...
I know you. I see you in my neighborhood. I see you at family functions. I see you in the grocery store. I see you when I buy coffee. I see you every time I step out my front door. You are the people who aren't living your dreams. And you're are not even trying anymore. Oh, you have ...
It's my birthday today, so while I am away enjoying cake and fireworks with family and friends, we have a wonderful guest interview with Jill Knapp from Idaho, who traded an extra 100 pounds for beauty pageants. I think you will find her dream story inspirational - Jill Knapp is a tremendous mot ...
The foolish reject what they see, not what they think; the wise reject what they think, not what they see. I wonder how many years spent in a meditative state did it take the Chinese master of Zen Buddhism, Huang Po to discover what I did when my thyroid stopped working: You are not what you t ...
Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Her mother died giving birth to her 6th child leaving Sonora and her siblings to be raised by her father. She wanted her father to know how special he was because of all the sacrifices he ma ...
Few celebrations are more gratifying than those centered on accomplishment and shared good times with people we love. Saturday the dreamers took a break and celebrated our birthdays. Thus we had a party even though I don't turn 50 until July 4th - now there's a millstone! In this 50th year ...
Back in 2003 I was diagnosed with Hashimotos thyroiditis. The diagnosis was both a blessing and a curse; a blessing because it explained so much about how shitty I was feeling, and a curse because it took a good three years to find the right medication combination to help me feel less shitty. ...
On Memorial Day I will wake up early and walk the short distance between where I live and where my father is buried. It's a short walk, just down the street, a left turn and one hell of a hike up a steep hill. He's buried at the Catholic cemetery in this sleepy northern California town where I ...
Successful dreamers, who work on their big dreams are as busy as people who don’t. So I'm told the old excuse of I've been too busy to . . . Doesn't work. Because the difference between a busy dreamer and a busy person is that the busy dreamer is some way, somehow, making themselves do ...
I read somewhere that runners view running as a remedy. They believe the psychological benefits of running far outweigh the physical demands. Running a marathon or footrace can be a challenge both mentally and physically. Participating in an event like the San Francisco Bay to Breakers is not ...
It's Mother's day today and I was thinking about successful mother skills. Working your dream will feel like a mom caring for a baby. Raising your dream can be just as exhausting as raising kids. Hell - you'll be feeding it at 2:00 in the morning with lists, books, planning and writing if y ...
