When I was 4, I wanted to be a singer when I grew up. When I was 7, I wanted to be the President of the United States. When I was 12, I wanted to be a movie director. But at every age, for as long as I can remember, I've known I would write books when I grew up. Some dreams take longer than others. This one has taken me 38 years. But I've finally done it! My book, Look Up!, is ready for purchase tomorrow! Every part of this - from writing it to the editing, layout & cover design process to the kinda-nightmare that is self-publishing - has challenged me to grow. In publishing this book, I've quite literally become a new version of myself. But not just an author. I've become woman who relentlessly pursued her biggest dream -- the one scared her the most because of how badly she wanted it. So here's to achieving our lifelong dreams -- the audacious ones, the secret ones, the scary ones, the dreams that we want with every cell of our bodies. And YOU.... If you have been waiting for a reason to finally go after your dream, this is me calling you up to the plate. Because, months or years from now, I want to be reading a message you've written about who you had to become to make your own dreams come true. If you want a safe place to whisper your dream and know someone who believes in you will dream alongside you, hit reply and share it with me. Jenna Lee "believe in you, mean it" Dillon P.S. If you too are a little ADHD, a little under water like me -- the "Reminders" function of my iPhone is my lifeline. Today, I told Siri, "Remind me tomorrow to do a happy dance because Look Up! is launching!" You might also set a reminder for tomorrow to buy a copy! P.P.S. Seriously. However big you're dreaming now...what harm could come of dreaming a little bit bigger? You're LEAGUES more capable than you realize, you incredible human, you. |

Good morning, Renegade, As my daughter navigates her big emotions lately, I've been dancing with grief as well. In the past I would have buried grief beneath busy-ness or anger, would have run from it and sunk myself into something consuming and therefore distracting, or would've simply denied it. All because of a feeling. A painful feeling, but still, just a feeling. Not a rampaging rhinoceros. Not a rattlesnake poised to spring. Isn't it interesting how emotions can sometimes feel life...

Most of the people on this list have either given birth or been there when someone else has. When I tell you that writing and self-publishing my book has been like giving birth, I'm not exaggerating. (No, this isn't like when people say that having a pet is just like being a parent. 🤨) As someone who has brought a human into the world, I am now in the final stages of birthing this book. Who knew that writing it was actually the easiest part? 😆 Anyway, I've been missing writing to you. If...
