Hi Dreamer, This year I chose a word to encompass the whole year, that word is “now”. I then broke it down a little bit further and gave each month its own theme. I did this to give myself a singular focus for making any and all decisions, to help me learn and grow, and… Continue reading Explore. Dream. Discover.

Hello Friend! Well, Happy New Year to you! How did 2014 treat you? Rather… How did you treat yourself in 2014? Because, I might be silly and crazy, but even I know that a year doesn’t happen to you. You make it happen… or not happen. So however your year went it was up to… Continue reading New Year
