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 as ...
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 ...
As a part of this journey we are all on, 8 Women Dream periodically champion other women's dreams who are not a part of this website.

This week will probably be the shortest entry of my 8 Women Dream career. I have so much going on, so much to talk about, but not a lot of time to go into details at the moment - so here's a quick list of all the things I've completed on the "dreaded checklist". Over the next few weeks I'll br ...

Ízletes! That’s Hungarian for delicious, and that was my Saturday night – enjoying Hungarian pastries including Dobos Torta, a nine-layer confection made with alternating layers of sponge cake and chocolate buttercream and topped with hard caramel, and Rétes, a nut pastry made with laye ...
Hey there Sister dreamers. I'm excited to be part of 8 Women Dream and can't wait to meet you all. My dreams have a life of their own and the process is fascinating and frustrating all at the same time. I went to a psychic once who told me to quit giving birth to kids and start giving birth ...

We live in a forbidding time. It seems like every time I turn around the news is talking about foreclosures and job loses. Financial consultants argue the commercial real estate market will be the next to fail, politicians fight about everything down to the color of dirt, while families hang ...
I concluded my last week of February blues with a knock out flu and am happy to report I have turned the corner. I am in recovery both emotionally and physically. Last week I was ready to throw in the towel and admit defeat with bad "mojo" running through my head... Who am I, as an overwe ...

As I move closer to the Bay To Breakers 12K and shift my dream forward into a regular exercise routine . . . BOOM. Two days of no training. I am in San Luis Obispo taking care of my son after knee surgery. In the process of caring for someone else, I have neglected to take care of mysel ...
My mom asked me a question a few weeks ago that I thought was very interesting. “How do photographers know what makes a good picture”? My first response, “They just know.” After a bit of reflection, I knew I’d better come up with something more, so I thought of this example. If ...

Today had the potential to move another step forward in my dream of becoming an accomplished equestrian. Instead, I (mentally) took a huge step backwards. Today I took Nikki to Pioneer Equine Hospital, which is a 3 hour drive from my home in Northern California. He went for his complete la ...

As the year quickly turns into mid-February, I am trying to figure out how to motivate myself for Graphic Design. I am working on revamping my design portfolio and make it more updated. Design jobs seem to be scarce out there this month. I don't want to have my own business now, so what do ...
