BRB!!

Hey "Do Dreamers Ever..." blog readers!

Over the past nine months I have taken on a project that is allowing me to fulfill a long time dream (besides being a published author :) ). I apologize for not posting anything recently. This new project has me UBER busy but I am looking forward to being able to fully share the project with you in the next month.

I appreciate your support.

I am REALLY looking forward to 2010

aka the year that Do Dreamers Ever Really Sleep? A Journal of Random Thoughts on Life's Stuff finally comes to life. It has been a long journey but I have never been more ready for multiple dreams to be fulfilled by the grace of god and hard work.

Warm wishes,

Sara Pickett

SWAG OVERLOAD = SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES + TMI + FAKE COOL

I've been told I am a very cerebral person. So my cerebral nature has led me to think about all this social networking, twitter, facebook, etc. I often find it is TMI aka TOO MUCH INFORMATION and I want to easily throw social networking to the side simply because of the brain overload it often causes. Unfortunately, social networking sites are not that black and white (as much as I'd like it to be...it would save me a ridiculous amount of time). The facebooks and twitters of the world can be easy ways to reconnect and stay in touch with hundreds of people and market to hundreds to thousands at the click of a button. But I think my biggest issue with social networking culture is the tendency for a lack of authenticity amongst its users and how ego based it all is. Even though social networking sites are marketed as a great way to stay in touch and connect with people...for some reason I see it making us all a little more self-involved and self important--two traits that can push people away rather than strengthen social connections.

For lack of a better word...the stuttin' ...the posturing...the facades....I am in SWAG overload via myspace, twitter, and facebook. Stop trying and just be. This great Marianne Williamson quote really sums up what I am feeling.

But the ironic part of this post is that it probably falls under the TOO MUCH INFORMATION category as well LOL. Anyway, enough over-analyzing...enjoy the rest of your week!

“We need less posturing and more genuine charisma. Charisma was originally a religious term, meaning "of the spirit" or "inspired." It's about letting God's light shine through us. It's about a sparkle in people that money can't buy. It's an invisible energy with visible effects. To let go, to just love, is not to fade into the wallpaper. Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright. We're letting our own light shine.”
-Marianne Williamson

Got this from one of my training buddies - in case you need a
chuckle - I have no clue who wrote this.


Random Thoughts of the Day:

I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing
option.

More often than not, when someone is telling me
a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so
that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more
directly involves me.

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an
argument when you realize you're wrong.

I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I
don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a
fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter?

Have you ever been walking down the street and
realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where
you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and
walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do
something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and
mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks
you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

That's enough, Nickelback.

I totally take back all those times I didn't
want to nap when I was younger.

The letters T and G are very close to each other
on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and
consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase
"Regards" again.

Do you remember when you were a kid, playing
Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it
and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that,
but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or
message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.

There is a great need for sarcasm font.

Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched
when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the fuck was
going on when I first saw it.

I think everyone has a movie that they love so
much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll
end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that
everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a
little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still
the only one who really, really gets it.

The other night I hit a new low at an open bar.
I had already hopped on highway blackout when, inevitably I had to find
a bathroom. Eventually I decided it was probably on the other side of
the bar so I tried to walk over there, but ran into a guy coming the
other way. We played that, Both go left, Both go right game to no avail,
so I finally put out my hand to guide myself past and that's is when I
realized, yup, that's a mirror I just tried to walk through. And the guy
on the other side is me. Even cats can re cognize their own image.

How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted
sheet?

I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery
bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

I think part of a best friend's job should be to
immediately clear your computer history if you die.

The only time I look forward to a red light is
when I'm trying to finish a text.

A recent study has shown that playing beer pong
contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.

Was learning cursive really necessary?

Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to
"I have nothing else to say".

I have a hard time deciphering the fine line
between boredom and hunger.

Answering the same letter three times or more in
a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.

My brother's Municipal League baseball team is
named the Stepdads. Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual
stepdads, I inquired about the name. He explained, "Cuz we beat you, and
you hate us." Classy, bro.

Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but
I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary
smart".

How many times is it appropriate to say "What?"
before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they
said?

I love the sense of camaraderie when a n entire
line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front.
Stay strong, brothers!

Every time I have to spell a word over the phone
using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a
complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney
and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies"

What would happen if I hired two private
investigators to follow each other?

While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in
the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.

MapQuest really needs to start their directions
on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if
they told you how the person died.

I find it hard to believe there are actually
people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.

Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants?
Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least
kind of tired.

Bad decisions make good stories

Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I
find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas
morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546
pictures? Don't mind if I do!

Is it just me or do high school girls get
sluttier & sluttier every year?

If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together,
their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.

Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the
whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from,
I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from,
this shouldn't be a problem....

You never know when it will strike, but there
comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just
aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.

Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes
after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond
you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little
too far.

I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of
Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page
research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will
never wash this ever.

I hate being the one with the remote in a room
full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show,
but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we
weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up
and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'

While watching the Olympics, I find myself
cheering equally for China and USA. No, I am not of Chinese descent, but
I am fairly certain that when Chinese athletes don't win, they are
executed.

I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring
(Hello? Hello? Damnit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine
times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop
the phone and run away?

I hate leaving my house confident and looking
good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a
waste.

When I meet a new girl, I'm terrified of
mentioning something she hasn't already told me but that I have learned
from some light internet stalking.

I like all of the music in my iTunes, except
when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my
iTunes.

Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the
optimal cruising speed for pedophiles...

As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a
pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of
transportation, I always hate cyclists.

Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3
consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

It should probably be called Unplanned
Parenthood.

I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone
just so I know not to answer when they call.

I think that if, years down the road when I'm
trying to have a kid, I find out that I'm sterile, most of my
disappointment will stem from the fact that I was not aware of my
condition in college.

Even if I knew your social security number, I
wouldn't know what do to with it.

Even under ideal conditions people have trouble
locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the
Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the
Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first
time every time...

My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other
day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I
respond to that?

It really pisses me off when I want to read a
story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.

I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact
that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.

I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any
given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than
Kay.

The other night I ordered takeout, and when I
looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic
silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order,
took a second to think about it, and then estimate d that there must be
at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too
bad I was eating by myself. There's nothing like being made to feel like
a fat bastard before dinner.

We all get messages from God. But are we listening?

Below is a great write up from another blog regarding God's repeated messages and how listening, trusting, and following through with God's messages to you, can rapidly bring forth some much needed growth.

In the passage below replace God and the Lord with whatever higher power you believe in.

A MUST READ. Even for the cynical folks....

FROM: Nancy @ http://thegoodidea.blogspot.com

"The Good Idea/Repeated Messages

Good morning to all….

From time to time I hear messages being repeated over and over again. Does that happen to you? If you hear it once or see it once; you will hear it or see it again.

When this happens I definitely take notice and realize that God is sending a message to me for one reason or another. The same is true for you. The question becomes - are we listening? Are we seeing?

Recently I’ve come in contact with situations where people feel that they are not growing under their current conditions.

What to do? These are situations where friends or family are concerned. People do not want to hurt others by moving forward so sometimes they just sit for the sake of peace.

Sometimes for the sake of peace we find ourselves in a place of complacency. Not growing, not moving forward…we are actually going backwards while the world around us is moving forward.

OK….so now you are sitting by quietly keeping the peace. You are feeling a bit anxious and want more but you are settled because it is comfortable and non-threatening.

So what is my message here – what is the Lord showing me….that we all need to grow. We need to break out of complacency and into a place of learning. Into a place of stepping out. Into a place of reaching higher and trusting in His guidance.

For some it may be best to keep the pace current but for others the pace must be picked up and run just a little harder or different.

A few years ago I was encouraged to move on with my life and my beliefs. I took heed and discovered truth for myself that I never realized before. I broke free of my then current situation and stepped forth. Freedom was found.

I’ve listened and talked with others who want to move on but wonder if they should. I say yes, move on. The desire has been placed in your heart and you must honor that. You are being called out – step forth into the goodness that God has for you.

Have you heard the expression, “lead, follow or get out of the way?” How true…make a stand…lead the group into a new area or let the ones go that need a change.

We are called to change. We are called to grow. We are called to reach higher and farther than we ever dreamed possible. Don’t sit in a ho-hum group rehashing the same old thing. God has bigger plans for you.

“JustAsk” what those plans may be. You may find that they are different from what you are currently doing. Enjoy your wonderful day. Nancy (www.justaskbooks.com) "

WHATS LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?

photo source: magicalday.com

My good friend Kimmy (check out her blog @ KimmyFrye.com & Kimmy in Essence Mag) sent me this article "Finding and Keeping a Life Partner" by Dov Heller, M.A and it is a refreshing take on marriage I had to share. We often get caught up in romantic love, lust, the kind of whimsical love perpetuated in popular media. Read the article below for a pratical wise approach to a healthy marriage. It is a little long but worth the read

FINDING AND KEEPING A LIFE PARTNER

Golden rules for finding your life partner by Dov Heller, M.A

When it comes to making the decision about choosing a life partner, no one wants to make a mistake. Yet, with a divorce rate of close to 50%, it appears that many are making serious mistakes in their approach to finding Mr/Miss Right! If you ask most couples who are engaged why they're getting married,they'll say: "We're in love". I believe this is the #1 mistake people make when they date. Choosing a life partner should never be based on love. Though this may sound "not politically correct", there' s a profound truth here. Love is not the basis for getting married. Rather, love is the result of a good marriage. When the other ingredients are right, then the love will come. Let me say it again: "You can't build a lifetime relationship on love alone". You need a lot more!!!

Here are five questions you must ask yourself if you're serious about finding and keeping a life partner.

QUESTION 1: Do we share a common life purpose?
Why is this so important? Let me put it this way: If you're married for 20 or 30 years, that's a long time to live with someone. What do you plan to do with each other all that time? Travel, eat and jog together? You need to share something deeper and more meaningful. You need a common life purpose.

Two things can happen in a marriage:
(1) You can grow together, or
(2) you can grow apart.

50% of the people out there are growing apart. To make a marriage work, you need to know what you want out of life! Bottom line. . .marry someone who wants the same thing.
QUESTION 2: Do I feel safe expressing my feelings and thoughts with this person?
This question goes to the core of the quality of your relationship. Feeling safe means you can communicate openly with this person. The basis of having good communication is trust - i.e. trust that I won't get "punished" or hurt for expressing my honest thoughts and feelings. A colleague of mine defines an abusive person as someone with whom you feel afraid to express your thoughts and feelings.
Be honest with yourself on this one. Make sure you feel emotionally safe with the person you plan to marry.
QUESTION 3: Is he/she a mensch?
A mensch is someone who is a refined and sensitive person. How can you test? Here are some suggestions:
- Do they work on personal growth on a regular basis?
- Are they serious about improving themselves?
- A teacher of mine defines a good person as "someone who is always striving to be good and do the right thing". So ask about your

Significant Other.
- What do they do with their time?

- Is this person materialistic?

- Usually a materialistic person is not someone whose top
priority is character refinement.

There are essentially two types of people in the world: (1) People who are dedicated to personal growth and (2) people who are dedicated to seeking comfort.

Someone whose goal in life is to be comfortable will put personal comfort ahead of doing the right thing. You need to know that before walking down the aisle.

QUESTION 4: How does he/she treat other people?
The one most important thing that makes any relationship work is the ability to give. By giving, we mean the ability to give another person pleasure. Ask: Is this someone who enjoys giving pleasure to others or are they wrapped up in themselves and self-absorbed? To measure this, think about the following: How do they treat people whom they do not have to be nice to, such as waiters, bus boys, taxi drivers, etc. How do they treat their parents and siblings? Do they have gratitude and appreciation? If they don't have gratitude for the people who have given them everything; can you do nearly as much for them? You can be sure that someone who treats others poorly, will eventually treat you poorly as well.


QUESTION 5: Is there anything I'm hoping to change about this person after we're married?
Too many people make the mistake of marrying someone with the intention of trying to "improve" them after they're married. As a colleague of mine puts it: "You can probably expect someone to change after marriage for the worse" If you cannot fully accept this person the way they are now, then you are not ready to marry them.
In conclusion, dating doesn't have to be difficult and treacherous. The key is to try leading a little more with your head and less with your heart. It pays to be as objective as possible when you are dating; to be sure to ask questions that will help you get to the key issues. Falling in love is a great feeling, but when you wake up with a ring on your finger, you don't want to find yourself in trouble because you didn't do your homework.

Another perspective... There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance.
It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of or at least minimize your time with draining, negative,incompatible, not-going anywhere relationships. Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention. Which ones lift and which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill? When you leave certain people do you feel better or feel worse? Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know, or appreciate you?

The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.

An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye". Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, pity, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as
faults aren't really that important.

Do you bring out the best in each other?
Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete,
compare and control?
What do you bring to the relationship?
Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain?
You can't take someone to the altar to alter them. You can't make someone love you or make someone stay. If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and "a life", you won't find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain. Seeking status, sex, and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relationship.

WHAT KEEPS A RELATIONSHIP STRONG ARE:

1. TRUST
2. COMMUNICATION
3. INTIMACY
4. A SENSE OF HUMOR
5. SHARING TASKS
6. SOME GETAWAY TIME WITHOUT BUSINESS OR CHILDREN
7. DAILY EXCHANGES (meal, shared activity, hug, call, touch, notes)
8. SHARING COMMON GOALS AND INTERESTS
9. GIVING EACH OTHER SPACE TO GROW WITHOUT FEELING INSECURE
10.GIVING EACH OTHER A SENSE OF BELONGING & ASSURANCES OF COMMITMENT
If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment,

withdrawal, abuse, neglect, dishonesty, and pain replace it.

Happiness keeps You Sweet,
Trials keep You Strong,
Sorrows keep You Human,
Failures keep You Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing.

INTERVIEW WITH DEEPAK CHOPRA

Photo Source: Sudance Channel

Here is a short interview with best selling author Deepak Chopra and interviewer Arielle Ford from LIFE.GAIAM.COM:

"Deepak Chopra Explains How Spirituality Can Be Funny

In this refreshing new take on spirituality, bestselling author Deepak Chopra uses a fictional tale of a comedian and his unlikely mentor to show us a path back to hope, joy, and even enlightenment—with a lot of laughter along the way.

...

Rich with humor and practical advice, Why Is God Laughing? demonstrates without a doubt that there is always a reason to be grateful, that every possibility holds the promise of abundance, and that obstacles are simply opportunities in disguise. Arielle Ford recently spoke with Chopra about this new tale:

Q: Why did you write this book?

A: I wrote this book for all who have a misperception of spirituality. Very frequently people equate spirituality with self righteous morality and they look at it as an extremely serious religious discipline. In my view spirituality is just the opposite. If you are extremely “ serious” (I have never found any humor in any of the worlds religious texts) then that is a sign of self-importance which is, of course, an attribute of the ego which is definitely not spiritual. To be spiritual you must go with the flow of life. An ancient seer from India once said, “the measure of your enlightenment is the degree to which you are comfortable with ambiguity, paradox, contradiction and uncertainty.” That is what humor is. When our soul recognizes the contradictions of life, it laughs.

Q: The book is filled with jokes and one-liners. Where did they come from?

A: I wrote the one-liners and some of the jokes. The rest of the jokes are modifications of ones I’ve heard in the past.

Q: When/where did you learn that fear isn’t real?

A: At a very early age I learned that fear isn’t real. My mother taught me this by explaining to me that all the Gods and Goddesses are inside of you.

Q: Does fear still come up at times?

A: No.

Q: Is the character of Mickey based on anyone in real life?

A: It is partly based on some of the existential dilemmas of existence my friend Mike Meyers has encountered.

Q: You say laughter is the healthiest response to life. What does that mean?

A: It means that if you can laugh at yourself and see the humor in every situation, no matter how challenging, you will realize that God has bigger plans for you than you can possibly imagine.

Q: Do you believe that in order to reach the state where we are laughing along with God, do we need to experience an ego death?

A: I would say that we need to experience a “near” ego death. If a total ego death happened, you would disappear from this world.

---

Deepak Chopra is the author of more than 50 books translated into more than 35 languages, including numerous New York Times bestsellers, of both fiction and nonfiction. He has a cameo role in the new Mike Meyers film, The Love Guru."

FOOD INC. : STAY INFORMED ABOUT WHAT WE ARE EATING

Food Inc. is a must see flick for anyone and everyone who eats lol.

Food Inc. is an engaging and easy to watch documentary where "...filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation’s food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that’s been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government’s regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation’s food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. Food, Inc. reveals surprising — and often shocking truths — about what we eat, how it’s produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here. "

CONTROL YOURSELF

It is amazing how time flies. It feels like it was yesterday since I posted something on my lovely blog.

I found an article that lightly touches on an issue I know a lot of people face -- CONTROL.
We all have a relationship, an experience, a part of our lives were we exert too much control and our behavior moves from caring and wanting the best for the person or situation to one forcing THEIR way and their opinion of how things should be.

Take a quick read of this article on CONTROL from a great website DAILYOM.com:

"May 13, 2009
Allowing Others To Be
Controlling Behavior

We all know what it’s like to want to be in control. In some ways, exerting control is an important survival skill. For example, we have every right to be in control of our own bodies and our own lives. Taking control in these cases is empowering and necessary. Controlling behavior in the negative sense comes from a tendency to reach beyond our own boundaries and into the lives of others. Many people do this with the rationalization that they are helping. This can happen with parents who are still trying to force their grown children into behaving in ways that they find acceptable. It can also happen when people try to control their partners’ behavior. If you have control issues, you will see that in one or more areas of your life, you feel the need to interfere with what is happening rather than just allowing events to unfold.

Almost everyone has at least one situation or relationship in which they try to exert control. This often happens because someone’s behavior makes us uncomfortable. We may feel it makes us look bad, or it embarrasses us. For example, if your best friend tends to drink too much, you might spend an entire party just trying to prevent her from doing so. This is different from directly confronting her about the problem and allowing her to decide what she should do. Controlling behavior generally goes hand in hand with an unwillingness to be direct about what you want, as well as an inability to let go and let people live their own lives. If you are the one that is controlling, it’s probably because you literally feel as if you are out of control and it scares you. Try to pick one thing you could just let unfold without any control on your part. Examine how it made you feel both before and after, and examine why you wanted to control the situation.

It is hard sometimes to allow others to be who they are, especially if we feel we know what’s best for them and we see them making choices we wouldn’t make. However, if we are to be respectful and truly loving, we have to let people go, trusting that they will find their own way in their own time and understanding that it is their life to live. Just reminding yourself that the only life you have to live is your own is the first step to letting go."

THIS IS 50

I was busy procrastinating when I came across this dope quote from 50 cent...if you have been reading my blog you know I am a QUOTE-aholic. Ain't no shame in my game!

"I HATE A LIAR MORE THAN I HATE A THIEF, A THIEF IS ONLY AFTER MY SALARY...A LIAR'S AFTER MY REALITY"
- 50/I'm a Hustler

Happy Monday
Stay Focused.

NOTHING TO SOMETHING

I'm on an acquaintance's daily inspiration email list. I received this today and thought it was a good one to share:

"TO GET SOMETHING YOU NEVER HAD, YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING YOU NEVER DID"

"When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better"

"The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you."

Amen to that.
