I'm doing 15 things
One of the things that keeps coming to mind for me is my ability to help other people. I see so many people struggling to make their dreams come true, and I can see that they are sincere. It is my intention to find ways to help others see that they CAN make all their dreams come true. I want to do this through my writing, my art, my counseling, and through public speaking. I feel like everything in my life has led me to be able to do this.

How I did it
It made me
joyful! 
How I did it: I gave up my nightly nightcaps, and began substituting healthy foods for my usual food choices. Instead of bringing a whole sandwich & a bag of chips, I'd bring half a sandwich, some fruit, nuts, cheese, veggies, or other munchy things. I drink lots of water throughout the day...you'd be surprised how many times you're really thirsty instead of hungry!I also did "perpetual crunches"-- anytime I sit for any length of time, I pay attent… Read how I did it…

She invited me to tutor 4th graders in reading once a week as part of the CalTrans team. I got my TB test, my background check, and signed up last fall. I now tutor two 4th grade girls and we have lots of fun!Worth doing!! Read how I did it…

I'm really excited!
How I did it: I finally decided that dreaming was fun, but I really have something to say. Last spring, I had given a motivational presentation for the marketing reps for the company I worked for, and a few of them suggested I do a weekly email of an inspirational thought.
