I just wish it was packaged differently. Plus it's a little hard to throw myself behind this author's challenges to chase my dreams and pursue my art when her own dreams were financed by marrying a wealthy man. It's easy to chase dreams when you have money. Darn near impossible to do much chasing when you don't.

I tried to read that book a while back. If I remember correctly, your husband made fun of it in our class! Tell him, "See, I told you so!" It was a bit artsy fartsy, but maybe I'll give it another try. Let me know how you like it. Laura This is what I do with my patients as a psychologist, only we call it “cognitive restructuring”!

I just figured out that a lot of my teenage rebellion, instead of just being bad behavior, saved me from going down with the ship. When I questioned rules or regulations that didn't make sense to me, I was affirming my own sense of what is "realistic"- it's just that my reality was a lot more free (and freeING) than others'. I am trying to channel that teenager more often nowadays, in an effort to combat the critical voices that's taken up residence in my mind. The voice that questions conventional wisdom is wise, in and of itself. And anyway, lots of people love your writing! I love this post!
