Deb Crowe is not only walking out her own dream, but she also takes the hands of others and helps them discover their own dreams. She’s particularly impassioned about reaching those at the mid-life point who are doing what they do, simply because they’ve always done it. She helps to stir the fire in the belly of people who feel bored and maybe even dead inside. She wants people to know anything is possible with a few changes in habits and by taking a self-directed approach.
She’s used to people telling her, “Well Deb, that’s easy for you to say.” But she knows how hard tending your dreams can be, when your mindset is your greatest enemy, because she had to learn how to quiet her own inner chatter. in her fifties now, Deb feels like she’s coming into the very best of herself and of her life.
We have a choice in whether we tend a dream or not. Fear is the great barrier for anyone who desires to do something different. We can learn to love the valley, because our best growth comes from that challenging place. Clarity is a muscle that needs to be worked every day, and our greatest clarity comes from facing our adversities (present and past) head-on.
Act in spite of what you feel.
Do your dreams scared.
Expect the bumps and plan to work around them and to move over them.
When you learn to overcome one obstacle or one emotion, it becomes easier to tackle the next challenge.
There’s power in the decision.
Give yourself permission to view the vision of your dream coming true.

- Unplug from your electronic devices on a consistent basis.
- Seek something enjoyable you might have done when you were younger—something you may not have done for a long time—and commit to picking it up again. Dare to pick up your joy again and become an intentional joy-splasher.
