I have to commend the calendar in the “Getting Unstuck” issue. I think the advice offered in it is useful and really covers a broad range of situations that would need help. Most of them, however, aren’t mine. That’s OK though. I’m feeling a little bit better about my project–just need to keep plugging away [...]

Can I Become Unstuck From Myself?

It’s Sunday morning here in Chicago, and the Boy has just gone off to compete in a fencing tournament. He hasn’t competed in a long time and he needs to renew his rating this year (fencers are rated by letters to show how well they do in competition–if you compete well against good fencers, [...]

OK, although I’m not quite done with this issue, I’m done with the themed bits that will help me get through my dilemma of perceived competition. I feel better. I feel inspired. I do have this dream to become a writer, and I think this project is a way to get me there. Instead of [...]
Oprah Knows How to Dream Big

I will say that Oprah is one woman who has dreamt big and really made it happen. In her “What I Know for Sure” essay in this Dreams issue, she talks about dreaming about working in television, but she didn’t want to be a big celebrity. Instead she focused on the process and became a [...]
The Rest of the Big Dreams Articles

Most of the Dream Big articles are lumped together, to make it easier for you to look at them. There’s a one-pager on networking and gives some networking organizations to look into. Another article is short profiles of women who followed their dreams–a “how’d they do that” kind of thing. I did a quick internet [...]
More to Think About

The “Something to Think About” questions usually paralyze me, and lately there have only been a couple per issue. This time there’s FIVE. I dread these, mostly because I don’t want to sit down and think about them [you're actually supposed to rip out the page and make your own workbook--has anyone out [...]
Dream Big Daily

The Dream Big calendar has a few ideas that may help me. Others, not so much. I’m honestly a bit lazy to create a support group of friends who meet together monthly to help each other reach their goals. Isn’t that a big like group therapy? I’d much rather create a [...]
Starting to Solve the Problem

When last we left our heroine, she’d finished 6 Oprahs, successfully completing volume one. Although way behind on her original timeline to finish every issue by July 4, she was feeling pretty happy about what she’d accomplished so far. After all, setting and achieving goals was pretty difficult for her, so to make some actual [...]
Dilemma!!!

So I’ve technically been at this project for a good eight months now. I thought I’d do it for a little while on the sly and let people “discover” it, and see how it went. Yes, I want to “fix” myself. I’m tired of dealing with hangups and stupid things that help [...]
Give It All You’ve Got

Done with another issue! Done with volume one! Can you believe it? That in and of itself is a gift–the knowledge that I’ve reached a bit of a milestone. One volume down, seven+ to go.
I liked the giving issue because I think giving is fun. It’s good to remember that [...]
