Dreaming: What are Your Strengths?
I’m going to slow things down a bit to make sure everyone gets a chance to read and keep up. This book is filled with activities that can help us uncover our dreams. So I’d rather be deliberate than rush through on a schedule that doesn’t work. That being said, today I wanted to mention something from chapter two. In …
Guest Post: Learning to Dream Again by Jennifer Maggio
I am delighted to bring a post from a friend where she is focused on discovering our dreams. Isn’t this perfect timing!

LIFE Statements: a Part of the Dream
I love this vision board from Jill Kemerer. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! How are the rest of your boards going? Mine is still an idea in my head. Sigh.

Vision Boards — What’s Yours look like?
At the end of Chapter One, Holley challenges us to create a vision board. My amazing friend Beth Vogt is already on hers. Mine is still in my mind. This weekend I’m headed to Wal-Mart or anywhere to get my poster board and start creating. However, I already know some of the themes that will go on it. I dream …

Thanks for stopping by, Holley! (and if you haven’t yet, be sure to grab her book, You’re Made for a God-Sized Dream and join us on this journey. …
How do we DREAM God-Sized Dreams?
Periodically people have asked me if we could do an online bookclub to discuss a book that challenges us to go deeper and further with God. I finally decided my life will never get simpler where I have a free month on the calendar to explore. So we’re diving in. Together. I’m so excited about exploring the idea of dreaming …
Glittering Promises Review: Great conclusion to the series

The first two books in the series set up the challenge of Cora Kensington learning she’s not who she thinks she is and navigating relationships and a world she didn’t know could be hers. In Glittering Promises, the story picks up almost exactly where …
