Have you ever gone down a path in life that didn’t feel quite right on a soul level, but it felt comfortable and secure on an ego level?
For instance, what if you always knew that you wanted to be a writer, but you had been told so often that writing would never pay your bills: you would have to work at a 9-5 job and then write at night and on the weekends. And so you went to school and got a degree in something practical: technical editing.
And a few years after graduating you found yourself More

I watched The Secret several years ago, and (like so many of you) immediately wanted to learn more about the Law of Attraction. I was fired up and inspired knowing that we have the power to create our ideal lives simply by changing our thoughts. Wow. Amazing. An aha moment for sure.
I immediately began focusing on my thoughts and being more aware of whether they were the types of thoughts that I wanted to be having. Would I be thinking these thoughts in my ideal life? And if not, I would concentrate More

Either the days are getting shorter, or I’m adding more and more to my plate so it only feels that way. I know that so many of you can relate to feeling the pressure of having more to do than what you have hours in the day to get done. We work and work and work some more. And we wonder why we’re so tired. Our lives are overflowing with tasks, and yet we still try to add more to them.
I know that when I lie awake at night thinking about the wonderful people I would like to interview, More

Shared Wisdom Guest Post – Featuring Jenina Marie from Intheclotheset.com
Every day should be a celebration of beauty. I know that we hear this any time some cosmetic giant wants to sell a new moisturizer, but I mean it as more then just marketing buzz words.
We are all guilty of taking ourselves for granted, of being overly self-critical. Just this morning I looked in the mirror and thought “what’s wrong with me now?” Picking at my face, checking off all the lines and bumps as if they More

This week’s Saturday Selection is a book that is very meaningful to me. I just finished it and couldn’t wait to share it with you!
Only Love Is Real
by Brian Weiss
I reviewed his amazing first book, Many Lives, Many Masters a few months ago, and couldn’t wait to read this book since it’s about soulmates, which is a topic that holds a special place in my heart.

I started writing a post about organization. And in it I talked about how in my ideal life everything flowed beautifully and life was magical. And then I started talking about my actual life and how things truly weren’t running as seamlessly as I would like them to. I talked about the endless list of to-dos and the piles upon piles of folders and projects and orders and call backs and write tos that needed to be finished.
And the more I wrote about how different my ideal life was from my More

Okay – now for today’s post:
Before I went to sleep last night, I said to Dan that I wished it would rain. While it may seem that Oregon and rain go hand in hand, where we live in the southern part of the state about half of the year is sunny and beautiful – and rain is rare. I like a break in the weather though – I like change. And I love the smell of rain More

We all have dreams. They start with a simple idea and soon grow into a possibility. And as time goes on, they begin to feel more and more real. We even start to believe that they could actually happen. We really begin to see ourselves living our dreams. We can almost taste them they seem so real.
Our dreams are our passions met with action. We take all of our talents that are swirling around inside of us, and we map out a plan of how we can put these talents to good use.
So often, we have a great More
