My Scary Silence Turns to Sweet Slumber
My first night in the DreamBigBus, snuggly nestled in a well-lit 24-hour Walmart parking lot was terrifying. I was the most frightened I’ve been in recent years, that I could remember. Curled up in the fetal position, on the fold down sofa, I was rocked while physically shaking. Countless questions running through my mind. …

A Second Sunday of Silence Speaks Volumes
After such an amazing first Sunday of Silence, I eagerly dove into week 2. And I enthusiastically drove to Kalamazoo, MI to participate in a facilitated Day of Sanctuary (1-day Silent Retreat). Yes, I thought to myself, another day of tuning out unnecessary voices and turning up the volume of my Creator. I was earnestly…

WEEK 4 – Drive
What is the driving force behind BIG DREAMS? Great achievements? What is it that keeps people impassioned and invigorated to follow the path down the road less traveled?

I have spent the last 2 weeks waylaid and sidelined by fatigue and illness. Both mine and my sister’s. None of which was remotely within my grasp of control.

So I found myself talking about someone the other day. So what happens sometimes is instead of doing what we desire, we decide to talk about someone who is doing things in judgment. You see the inability to be strong and decisive, our lacking of bold and brave has bothered us so greatly we’ve decided…

I almost want to say ENOUGH SAID! But the truth is Dreams are not always the easiest thing to pursue. It means gambling on your current security. Taking a risk of failure when I’m perfectly safe doing what I do now. So why would I change? Contentment may be nice, but Dream Building is…
