The Life Dream Archive

This is the archive of posts from my original blog “The Life Dream,” that started it all. :) Posts are from 2013-2015.

confessions

Confessions

I have a confession to make, sad but true. I haven't been writing. On April 9th I wrote that I would be scaling back my blog writing to 3 days per week, but writing every day. I have not held my word on this. It's amazing how the discipline…
change

A change

So I have been thinking... While writing every day has been great for me I feel like I am not writing the quality I would like to. I don't get time to do much more than a first draft usually. I would like to delve in a bit more than that…
1 billion dollars

What if I gave you 1 billion dollars?

This is an interesting exercise that I like to revisit from time to time. I also love to hear how people respond. Here's my question to YOU:  So if I gave you 1 billion dollars, in other words enough money so that you would never need to…

Friends & Family

Checking In

Boy I tell ya, I have about a thousand different things fluttering through my head tonight.  It's hard to pick a topic.  This won't be much of a post, but it's something, about all the effort I have at the moment.  Wow, I'm really enticing…
the search for meaning

What does it mean?

Last night I heard a powerful story of vision and passion, a story I am excited to share with you.  At Toastmasters* one of my co-members spoke about the idea of vision, specifically our individual visions for what we wanted to achieve through…

Tired but true

I'm tired, but these quotes are true. Here are a few simple quotes from Eckhart Tolle tonight as I didn't have the energy to quite finish the post I'm working on. :) Cheers to keep plugging along! “Some changes look negative on the…
