How much can we learn from our dreams?

There are an almost unlimited number of theories around dreams and dreaming and the whole concept of our dreams being a window to our subconscious thinking.

For this school year, try channeling some of your child’s creative energy into scrapbooking and paper crafts. Scrapbooking is a great way to spend time with your children, share a favorite hobby, and reinforce skills learned in school without them realizing it.

I’ve been working with clients
who are in all sorts of
transitions. They’re looking for
ways to develop greater
mindfulness in order to live
more creatively.

And there’s a certain phrase
that keeps popping up. In fact,
it’s gotten to the point where
every time I hear or read it,
I cringe. It’s one of those
phrases that has become
ubiquitous.

I’m talking about “Think outside
the box.”

This phrase was first coined
back in the late sixties by
Edward de Bono (I love him!)
when he developed the concept
of lateral thinking. It became
very popular among management
consultants in the nineties and
has been used extensively as
a marketing slogan for numerous
companies.
