You are here, where do you want to go? Sometimes my impatience with “not knowing” works for me, sometimes it doesn’t. How about you?
Even the wildest dreams have to start somewhere. Allow yourself the time and space to let your mind wander and your imagination fly.

Have you sensed a theme in my recent posts? Me too. It’s not that I don’t have goals. I do. It’s that they lack joie de vivre – there’s no exuberance, no juice in them. So, even though I may be feeling the stirrings of new beginnings, my “vision”, my long-view is clouded and I’m left longing for some sparkling clarity! I am here, where do I want to go – I want to know now!
And while I’m counting on myself to create a new vision book that will engage my conscious and unconscious mind into knowing what my dreams really look like, I’m also feeling the equivalent of writer’s block… As I’ve said before, I’m not looking for standard future fare: career, family, retirement, leisure activities – been there, done that, enjoying the fruits of my labors.
