and author, Sheri McGregor

Mothers Who Dream, Late July '02 Issue  In This Issue: Greetings from Mothers Who Dream!  •   Welcome! •   Be Tenacious •   Be True to Yourself •   News and Events •   Take Initiative •   Fundamentals  Welcome! "Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead."                                     Louisa May Alcott Welcome: I hope you are having a wonderful summer. Have you found the time to pursue your dreams, even amid the chaos of children home from school, vacations with the family, and trips to the beach? Being a community of creative dreamers, you have no doubt puzzled out some time. If you're struggling, remember the above quote. Even if you can't devote your energies as fully as you might like, your aspirations are waiting there. You can see them, reflect on them, and pursue them as you're able. In keeping with the busy-ness of summer, this issue will be short and sweet. I'm including affirmations that deal with various areas of life. You'll note that the format is a little different. I'm experimenting with a new mailing program. PLEASE help. If you find something difficult to read or that doesn't correctly come through, jot me a note so I can strive to make it better.    Be True to Yourself Affirmation: I will stop worrying about what others think I should do. Instead, I will do what I KNOW is best.   Past Profile:  One woman's journey -- Vyvyan Lynn, True to Herself    Take Initiative Affirmation: I will take steps to research, learn, and move toward my dreams. I will take the act of thinking about pursuing my goals, and transform those thoughts into actions.   Past Profile: Martha Lawrence: Initiative the First Step    Be Tenacious Affirmation: I will remember the tenacity of crab grass. With water, and despite rough conditions, a carpet of green will grow. I will be just as persistent.   New Article! TENACITY: Nurture that of Crab Grass  News and Events Early this month, it was exciting to meet so many people at the Leadership Festival sponsored by San Diego's Channel 10. Working with two other women whose businesses completed an Empowering Your Mind, Body and Spirit triad, I came away inspired. To those of you who have joined the Mothers Who Dream community after the event, thank you so much. It was great to meet you! I look forward to future events!
