Your life story is being written. Yep, you are in a low place, but you won’t stay here. You are ridiculously in charge of your life right now! You get to determine how this chapter and book will end.
It is the discipline of continual preparation that primes us for excellence as we step more fully into our destiny. Time behind the scenes is not wasted, but acts as a fuel that keeps us growing and perpetually poised for action.
Sometimes I wonder how much time and energy I have spent over the years trying to AVOID something I perceived to be unpleasant?
Our family went camping and survived one afternoon lost in the woods. We anticipated an easy 2-3 mile jaunt, which turned into a day-long marathon as we wandered through unfamiliar forests, disoriented by inaccurate maps and unmarked or closed trails. One member of our group was not an active hiker, which added to the discomfort […]
How do you cope when you feel trapped in wretched circumstances in life with no discernible escape route? When you dread the daytime because of decisions that you must make (or want to avoid making), and you perceive no answers—-when the route seems impossible? When you dread the nighttime because of anxiety and sleeplessness that […]
Our beloved Boston terrier, Ziggy, passed away last week. She was nearly 14 years old and lived a full, happy life. She was the runt of her litter and struggled over the years with health problems and in the last year, blindness and deafness. Yet she graciously coped with her handicaps and still gave all […]
January 2018 marked ten years since the birth of Destiny Dreamz. Destiny Dreamz is Ten Years Old! While Destiny Dreamz hasn’t ‘yet’ become a multi-million-dollar business, I’d like to say we’ve played a part in changing many lives for the better. We’ve taught hundreds of dream interpretation classes in all kinds of environments—churches, community centers, […]

I’m sitting at the dining room table in my new home, amongst my new family, attempting to write, while activity swirls around me. My dog, Maxx, is chasing the cat, Mittens. The family is chatting about last night’s dreams, making lunches for school and work while eating breakfast. I’m getting ready to take Walter to […]
Once upon a time in McLean, Virginia, a boy named Walter and a girl called Merry met in 7th grade math class. He teased her and made her blush, and neither of them could possibly envision at that time that they would fall in love and get married in a whirlwind nearly 44 years later. […]
Ever had days or seasons where you felt off-center and not functioning the way you need to in life? Perhaps focus is off, or nothing seems to work the way you envisioned. Or maybe you feel like you are dragging around and not getting anywhere productive anytime fast. Maybe it’s time to experience a Spiritual […]
I spent this past weekend doing dream interpretation in prison with lifetime offenders—murderers, gang members, sexual predators—people that wouldn’t normally be deliberately scheduled on my social calendar. What a privilege, albeit a somewhat scary and challenging one! Our team spent two 10-hour days aiming to encourage this group of people who definitely could use some […]
Destiny Dreamz is thrilled to announce that we’re returning for our second year to Panhandle Pride this year on Sunday, June 25, 2017. Last year we grew to love the organizers and the numerous new friends we made. Destiny Dreamz usually offers a variety of carefully honed ‘gifts’ displayed on a Menu Board for a […]
A week ago I bought a big package of grapes from Sam’s Club, and I have been munching on bunches every day. Yesterday I dumped the last of the grapes into a bowl of water for washing and noticed a ladybug float to the top. I picked her out and to my amazement, she was […]
I was walking my dogs last night in our neighborhood, and a couple of blocks away from home I saw three bunnies hopping in a line down the middle of the street. I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was seeing bunnies…a rare sight for middle of the city with traffic always whizzing by. […]
I’ve had many life-changing dreams over time and recently I had another one—the kind that stops me in my tracks and shifts my perspective permanently. It’s personal. But I want to share it because I think the message is universal, potentially a message for many other people. Can you relate to this dilemma and message? […]

Hi friends! You may be aware of some of my journey since I was laid off from my job right before Christmas. For many weeks now I have scrambled to apply for jobs—hundreds of applications submitted. Telling everyone I meet that I need a job. In all, I’ve interviewed for some really cool jobs, but […]
I want to address a problem that I believe is increasingly becoming more epidemic in our age: Insomnia. People struggle to find sleep, not getting the rest that they need to function everyday, for numerous reasons. 40 million Americans don’t sleep well. Are you one of them? I used to insufferably watch the clock tick off the […]
This month marks my 20th anniversary of falling in love with the art of dream interpretation. Looking back on that first class that I took in January 1997, I cherish one of the most profound life events that grabbed my heart and set me on the path that has become my delight and my destiny. […]
I’ve been experimenting with blends of oils and other ingredients to create Dream Cream for deep sleep that could potentially promote your nighttime relaxation and sleep cycle. It smells wonderful and is good for skin as well.I’m a dreamer and my profession and passion is dream interpretation. I think it is not fair to suffer insomnia […]
