Write an essay every month about pursuing your dreams? Heck, it was a struggle every day just for me to keep believing in mine. And yet, that is how this book began. I began writing an essay every month about pursuing your dreams for the fine folk at Recovering The Self (www.recoveringtheself.com) and an amazing thing happened: I felt it help me pursue mine! I hope the essays in this book, encompassing the first year of essays in Recovering The Self (along with a little bonus material), help you get a little closer to yours.
