Focus that Wish

Late, late post. I know. Sunday got away from me.

L-O-V-E-D everyone's dreams. Keep it up. Focus on them, and achieve all you can. If nothing else, you'll become more and more convinced that you deserve them.

My focus when I need to get away is the ocean. The sound of it, washing everything else from my ears, pouring over me like the wind and the waves. I have a white-noise device in my office, set to "ocean." No one touches it. It's running all the time when I'm writing. Like a dream in the background, telling me I can do it. That my heart's desire isn't a wish anymore...it's a reality, as long as I don't stop fighting for it.

New Age Question of the Day: What focuses your dreams and wishes in your life? What's your dreamcatcher, your tallisman. What can you look at and smile, listen to and believe, feel with your hands and remember?

My son's one of the strongest reminders for me of what I need. What I want and dream for. I call him my dreamcatcher in the acknowledgements for All-American Father. He's everything good in my life, smiling back at me every morning, and he's my motivation for getting up and making each day matter. What's yours?

Okay, we need winners from yesterday. And they are:

Joyce, the Nine West bag is yours!!

and

Shannon, the $5 Borders Gift Certificate will be coming your way.

Again, email me your mailing addresses, and we'll get things squared away here. It might take until the end of the week to get things shipped out, but they'll be coming.

And we need a new Holiday Party prize. How about the tweed Guess bag, and another Borders Gift Certificate? Leave a comment, and I'll be picking a winner by mid-day tomorrow. We're starting so late tonight, I want to give everyone a chance.

Come back tomorrow for a final excerpt, a chance to win the Nine West hobo bag, and I'll be giving away the set of "Daguther" books I promised. Plus, one more chance to hang with your blog buds and have some fun. Who's bringing the egg nog???
