In case you missed any of the first four deals in The 6 Gifts of Christmas, Iām...

š¦¹āāļø Is social media a necessary evil?
Hey Reader, Nine years ago I met a precious friend. We had some things in common, most significant at that time was that we gave birth within a few months of each other at the same birth center in Boulder, Colorado. She and I connected instantly, chatting long after the event weād both been invited to had ended. Our husbands even hit it off! (Bonus points all around.) And our babiesānow 9 year oldsāare on track to be friends for life. But at one point in our conversation she said the oddest...
How to change the way you think about your dream (for the better)
Live near Denver? Donāt miss the P.S. at the bottom about a special Devoted Dreamers gathering coming in the fall. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.Then you will be able to test and approve what Godās will isāhis good, pleasing and perfect will. ~ Romans 12:2 (NIV) Reader, I love that God straight out tells us in His Word that thereās a way we can think differently.

Everything changed when I started doing this
Hi Reader, There are countless barriers to starting on a dream. We talk about them all the time around here. Time is a big one. So is fear. And imposter syndrome. ā¬
ļøā¬
ļø Click through those links for a podcast episode that addresses each one. But today I want to address whatās possible when we look those barriers in the face and start to ask different questions. Questions like: What would it be like to show up for yourself and your dream IN the power of the Holy Spirit? Whatās at stake (i.e....
What if you could dream without fear?
š± Plant Without FearāI discovered this pithy little statement printed on the edge of a seed packet tucked away with my gardening supplies all winter long. Iād never noticed it before, but itās been teaching me ever since. Plant Without Fear. How did the seed people know that I would belabor decisions about what to plant, where to plant, when to plant, how many seeds to plantā¦all the questions? šØ Questions that kept me from taking action. š
Questions that made me feel like a newbie (or a...
A dose of momentum for your dream is coming next week!
Itās happening next week, Reader! The networking call that beats ALL networking calls (because itās waaay more than a virtual exchange of business cards). Join me on Wednesday, 5/29, at 10:30 am PDT / 1:30 pm EDT and bring your 1-minute introduction to share verbally so you can get some thoughtful feedback from fellow dreamers. Theyāll also be testing the waters with their words, which means itās one of the least intimidating environments to share and clarify your message. Every time I host...
Why havenāt you started on your dream?
Hey Reader, Whatās standing in the way of your dream becoming a reality? Itās a real question that Iād like you to ACTUALLY pause and answer. ā²ļøSet yourself a timer for 5 minutes and just sit with this question: Whatās standing in the way of your dream becoming a reality? Ready.... Go! In case the answer isnāt obvious to you OR you don't have time to process right now, here are a few phrases Iāve heard other dreamers say: āYes, I have something unique, but is it something people want?ā āI...
What are your God-given gifts?
Hey Reader, How often do you miss out on recognizing the uniqueness of the gifts God gave you? Put another way: Are you more likely to look at someone elseās gifts and think: āOh, sheās really got a talent for design/writing/speaking/hospitalityā¦ā or fill in the blank with the last thing you remember admiring in someone else because itās the thing you lack and/or wish you were better at? Itās easy to do. We have way more exposure and access to whatās going on in the work lives, personal...
You're a disciple of Christ first... a dreamer second
Hi, Reader! So many email subscribers grabbed my Tiny Steps, Big Impact download in last week's email. (The link still works, in case you missed it and want to check it out). Tell me what you thought about it when you get a minute! I love to know when resources I share hit the nail on the head for you! šØšØ Last week's newsletter was all about two things I learned from spending a more restful week with my kids. This week Iām back working a more ānormalā schedule and have two resources to...
