Kick in the Tush Club Tuesday ... Fun * Wise * Utterly Useful information that fills the soul <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities.\u00a0\u00a0 Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.<\/em>

Hellloooooooooo Tushkateers!!!
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0How excited are you that it is Tuesday and you are receiving a Kick in the Tush from none other than the patron saint of permanent fat removal, Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a>?\u00a0 I know that I am!\u00a0 I was super-excited that she dragged me out of bed at 5:30 am (not!!!), just when I was deep into an amazing, awe-inspiring dream.<\/p>\n

\n

My Dream:\u00a0 The Dalai Lama and Joseph Campbell came to visit me (while sleep dreaming).\u00a0 Just as they were about to reveal the secrets of the universe, OLofWL hit me over the head with a Zen celery stick and said, “up n’ at ’em, girlfriend.”\u00a0 Then she snapped her fingers three times!!!\u00a0 My eyes popped open and I kicked into high gear.<\/p>\n

The dream was a double dream.\u00a0 I was sleep-dreaming and the dream could easily be a dream come true — to sit with the Dalai Lama and Joseph Campbell<\/a>, serve up a few bowls of steaming hot steel cup Oatmeal — and discuss creation.\u00a0 Of course, Joseph Cambell died in 1987, making my dream come true a tad more difficult, but hey, I believe in miracles, and time isn’t what we think it is, so you just never know.<\/p>\n

While cruising (or is it surfing?) the Internet for ‘dream’ quotes, I came across Gloria Steinem’s (above).\u00a0 I especially loved it and was ignited by it because Gloria brilliantly made dreaming a part of planning.\u00a0 I believe that we must first ‘see’, have a ‘vision’ – a dream – for our compelling future, before we can move toward it.\u00a0 Even before clearing out the fridge and stocking it with the right stuff, stop for a moment and dream.<\/p>\n

Dream, imagine … what it might be like if your health\/weight problem were no longer a challenge … what could your world look like?\u00a0 Chew on that this week, and if you have any brilliant or even less than brilliant thoughts on the matter, let me know!\u00a0 Write me and be sure to put DREAM<\/a><\/strong> in the subject line, lest your post gets lost in the sauce!\u00a0 For sharing purposes, please limit your response to two (tops three) sentences!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

***<\/p>\n

And now … are you ready for your fully loaded Kick in the Tush?\u00a0 It is chock-a-block with motivation, inspiration, healthy recipes, jigsaw puzzles, and so much more! \u00a0 If yes, then click here <\/a>for … \u00a0 THE ELDER CARE BLUES:\u00a0 <\/strong>Where the Birds Scream (poignant and funny, I promise not to make you cry)<\/strong><\/strong>, <\/strong>40 Years of Breakfast Tips, 13 Steps: A Guideline to Nighttime Eating, Rosemary Beef Hash … and more!<\/strong><\/p>\n
