My experiences as a recovering procrastinator and perfectionist give me a keen understanding of how they work to delay creative dreams (and why that's sometimes a good thing). I admit my 'splendid imperfections' because I know that my mistakes and stumblings can be of use to others."<BR> -- From the Introduction</BLOCKQUOTE> <P><BR> SARK (Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy) has lived one of her creative dreams by transforming herself from a struggling artist into a bestselling author, artist, and creative spiritualist. She is actively working with her other dreams, and she tells readers that making dreams real is not only about making dreams come true but also about living with all that is real about life -- the disappointments, frustrations, progress, quitting, and fulfillment. Now she tells readers how they can live their dreams in a guide that is practical, inspirational, realistic, and as inventive as only SARK can be. Whether your dream is to write a book or plant a garden, open a bed and breakfast or get a degree, help children with cancer or star in a musical, SARK guides you step-by-step on a journey toward making your dream REAL. <P> Are you wondering just what your creative dream is? SARK puts you in a "dream activator" state of mind and helps you figure it out. Are you lost in the Land of No? SARK can help you work with your fear and negativity, live with and transform procrastination and perfectionism, communicate with inside and outside critics, and work with inertia. Do you have a dream but it seems overwhelmingly impossible? SARK's famous microMOVEment technique will help you make your creative dream journey in tiny yet powerful steps. Need inspiration? Read the stories of others who are making their creative dreams real. Having difficulty fitting your dream into your real life? Let SARK show you how to think differently about time and find resources in unexpected places and people. <P> To begin, choose one of two tables of contents: one for the logical or linear mind that follows the steps in order or one for the more abstract thinker who would prefer to play the system like a game. No matter which path your journey follows, you'll encounter SARK's whimsical humor and tender understanding of human foibles, extensive resource sections, and lots of exercises that will help you get unstuck, activate creativity, and put plans into juicy action. Make Your Creative Dreams Real is the all-in-one book for everyone who has ever wanted to live a more deeply creative and satisfying life. 159155 2004 Make Your Creative Dreams Real: A Plan for Procrastinators, Perfectionists, Busy People, and People Who Would Really Rather Sleep All Day total:157|5:55|4:51|3:39|2:10|1:2| 157 618 286 20 4 1 false false Thu May 01 06:55:08 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 11 09:50:37 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri Aug 07 21:47:39 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 12:55:56 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 21:47:39 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Sat Dec 27 16:27:34 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 27 16:28:57 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Tue Sep 09 16:38:54 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 10 12:19:07 -0700 2008 1 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Aug 12 19:37:29 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 12 19:39:54 -0700 2008
