In Quest of More Beautiful Dreams...
I spoke to a friend today about a recent loss she experienced. It was the death of a loved one who meant the world to her. The devastation and pain in her voice was apparent. And at the same time, she seemed embarrassed to be revealing her humanity – that part of her that if left unattended…
How did we get here…already at the end of 2012? It seems like just yesterday that I was gathered with many people that I care deeply for ushering in 2012, and now I sit with legs crossed on my Mom’s couch. Mom’s breathing is rhythmic as she sleeps for a spell. The reason for her…
November will forever have a different meaning to me. It has become a month (as of this year) that has forced me to face pain…to really experience (like the first time again) what it feels like to be alone. Not that I don’t have family members and friends…but to not have a partner in which…
I found out today that one of my USC classmates passed away a couple of days ago due to a seizure. I had just met with him earlier in the year to talk about a project. Over lunch we spoke of our funny moments at USC, his passion for traveling, how much he loved his…

Nearly five years ago, I became obsessed with the concept of bold living. Something just wasn't working in my approach to life. With wild abandon, I began reading books by bold thinkers, interviewing & observing them and attempting to apply the principles they teach to my daily life. Over a span of time, I learned that we human beings have the power to create any scenario we wish to see. You and I can accomplish the seemingly impossible with a combination of inspiration, hard work, courage, and never-ending boldness.
Within the pages of Project BE Bold are a combination of my writings, the insights of world renowned thinkers, and inspiring guest posts that have been shared by readers around the world.
Let's embark on this journey together and share our triumphs and challenges. Please dare to share your life story. I am always looking for powerful incites from my readers to post!
