Unfreezing The Light In Our Dreams
When we say that a person in love is glowing it may be more than a metaphor: There is a physical radiance palpable in each of us at times when we are open-hearted and fully alive to our surroundings.

Write Them Down!
Among all the New Year’s resolutions competing for your attention, I’d like to suggest one that you probably hadn’t considered: the practice of Writing Down Your Dreams. For the New Year, why not crack open that blank journal collecting dust on a shelf, or begin a new document. Label the document DREAMS. Let it sit in the middle of your Desk/Laptop/iPad (not buried in file) as a reminder to record your dreams before you head into the labyrinths of Email, Facebook or Newsfeed each morning.
