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 ...
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 ...

The girls here at 8 women dream have all been to my place, and one thing we aren't lacking is space. With my dream of jewelry design taking up a chunk of the family room ...

Dream status: sometimes you gotta fake it 'till you make it! Rather than bring everyone down to the mire that my week has been, I wanted to share a video that made me laugh today. And I needed a laugh today! I picked this video based on a line that goes... "they smile when they are low!". [ ...
Remember my post from last week, Multiple Streams Of Income - Do Kids Count, about my son and his entrepreneurial quest? He is kicking butt. His fashion blog has photos now (thanks to Ray's photography). Several girls have commented on his photos on MySpace, some quite graphically, on ho ...
Have you ever noticed that the more you want to accomplish, the faster time flies? The first month in 2010 and we are almost through it. I have been pushing myself to get so many things done, I had to laugh when my son went and accomplished something all by himself. My son has had a very entr ...
Yep - its winter! This is what my inner voice is repeating . . . find a fireplace, curl up with your book and hot cocoa (with adult additions) and call me in March. In my search for daily inspiration to get on, and stay on, my path to success I was reminded of one of the top posts here on ...
The other night I was startled out of my chair by an amazing clap of thunder from the recent storms rolling through our lovely Sonoma County Wine Country. The rain poured down, creating quick rivers through what I hope will still be my half-finished Bocce Court come spring. The water found th ...
Day 7 of 2010 and we are in full strategic planning mode. Somewhere under all the books, pens, and paper, is a dining room table. Thanks goodness we never use it. As part of our humongous goal planing session, my husband/business partner Ray and I threw all the tools we could possibly need on the ...

Ahhh. the joy of the holidays. I have 2 pies in the oven - pecan and cherry - 2 pumpkin pies already cooling, ginger carrots ready for reheating, and I'm thinking of letting the caramel corn wait until morning. What does all this baking have to do with a jewelry project? Besides keeping busy, they r ...
There are many ways to prepare for the upcoming holidays. Tree? Check. Lights? Check. Gifts? A big check since I am also blessed with a son who has a December birthday. That helps keep you in gear. Why do I feel like I forgot something? The answer hit me While out shopping and actually enjoyin ...
Where am I on my entrepreneurial quest for multiple streams of income? You may remember my briefly mentioning one of our tasks recently was moving our office. It didn't go far. . . moving from our top floor of the house to the bottom floor of the house. The move had several benefits including mor ...
