Daily Dose—LET IT GO
What’s weighing you down? Let it go! You are capable of becoming healthy, strong, independent, educated, financially secure and creatively fulfilled! What’s stopping you?

Do you think you have to do it all alone? Think again. Instead of plodding along alone, why not find some like-minded support?

What do you do because you love to do it?! Do more of that. No one is watching. No one is cheering you on. No one is telling you, “good job.” No one is paying you. No one is waiting for it. No one cares…but you. What do you love doing so much that you don’t care what anyone else thinks? What do you love doing so much that you don’t care whether you get paid for doing it or not? What do you love doing so much that even when it gets hard or difficult, you still want to do it? What do you love doing so much that you do it simply...

One of the stars of my film Collusions, the amazingly talented Tembi Locke, has just launched an informative and incredibly inspiring website for anyone who has experienced loss in their life or is in the painful process of losing someone. Tembi describes the site as, “A place where we inspire connection and support in times of illness and grief.” How perfect and much needed is that?!? Especially during the holidays. After losing My Dad this year, the theme and tone and love radiating from The Kitchen Widow felt like a warm,...

New Declared Dreams! The Declare Your Dream Experimental Motivation Project is now 183 Dreams strong. And the dreams run the gamut. There are dreams that make you think, dreams that inspire, dreams that motivate, dreams that confuse, dreams that make you sad, dreams that make you go, “hmmmmm.” There are dreams that seem to be in code—only clear to the Dreamer who declared it! But with each new declared dream that arrives—no matter how big or small, realistic or fantastical, selfish or selfless, simple or creative—power,...

7 Paths to Thinking Outside The Box Inside The Box and creating from what you have 1. NO MORE WAITING. You have two carrots, an onion, a bouillon cube, a bag of rice, an egg and a spice rack: GO!
