Tomorrow’s Dreams Today Book Study

“Only thing that can stop me is me.”

- Jay-Z, Who Gon Stop Me

If you’ve read my e-Book Tomorrow’s Dreams Today, or if you’ve been wanting to, I wanted to share with you an opportunity that starts this Wednesday on Elora’s blog. She is doing a book study and will post weekly thoughts and questions to facilitate discussion. You can read more about it here.

The strangest thing happened last Wednesday night. I was sitting in a coffee shop by myself. I explained to a friend later who asked how my time alone went, that I literally sat down, opened my journal and moved my pen across the paper furiously for nearly two and a half hours straight, at which point I only stopped because I had to go pick up my kids. Let’s just say I had A LOT on my mind.

This was not pretty writing. I’m not even sure it was coherent writing. What it most certainly was was a brain dump of dreams that are swirling inside me and looking for a crevice to eek out of, and I guess that night that crevice came in the form of my fingers and a thin sharpie marker and my journal was just in the right place at the right time to mop up the damage.

After I finished writing, and I do believe I could have kept at it if time had permitted, I checked Twitter before packing up my stuff to go pick up my kids. It was right then that I saw a tweet from Elora sharing her plans to lead a book discussion on my dreams book. The timing was impeccable. Here I was reeling from the dream brain dump I had just spewed out onto my journal pages, and here she was extending an invitation to talk openly with others about the hard work of choosing to live out the dreams of our tomorrows in the mess of our todays.

My friend Mandy has been encouraging me to re-read my book. (Although I don’t know if it can be called re-reading since technically I’ve never sat down and read it in the manner one does with a text when it’s not one’s own words.) Anyway, I think now is the time to do that. And I was telling Mandy, it’s as if someone else entirely constructed that text, and I just am another needy recipient, who’s flailing in dream waters. My dreams have morphed into other forms since the writing of that book, and I need to do some sitting with them.

All that to say, I’d love for you to join us. I’d love for you to visit Elora’s blog on Wednesdays and participate in what I know will be passionate conversation about moving in the direction of our dreams. Because it’s time. Don’t you think?  I for one am ready to get out of my own way.
