Literaly...making a living from a sailboat

One of the bloggers, Danielle, said "why don't you literaly make a living on a sailboat by taking people on the boat for a day or weekend to think through their career dreams". I just stared, like a deer staring at headlights, and after a long pause said "Cool!".
It was successful when I took teenagers on 7-day canoe trips to dream about their futures. There is just something about getting away from the hussel-and-bussel of daily life in order to step back and take a look at your life.
Danielle, who is trained in art therapy, suggesting taking time on the sailboat to read, write, and draw. Again, something I find extremely beneficial as I sit, here, in my sailboat every morning. I think the drawing would be a lot more therapeutic anchored in a cove off Georgiana Island in Lake Simcoe.
Would you spend a day on a sailboat just to get an idea of your work dreams and future?

Art of Blabbing!

Since I started this blog I have attracted a lot of attention and help, just by sharing my dream of making a living on my sailboat. People who heard of my dream have contributed ideas and encouragement for performing virtual career counselling, such as Skype and Google Docs.
It’s a shame that a lot of people never move towards dreams because of the fear of their dream sounding too stupid or unrealistic. There is a certain “power of attraction” from sharing your dreams…..I call it “The Art of Blabbing”.
We are a culture of “story tellers and watchers”. That’s why movies are so popular. So, it makes sense that people love to hear the “story” of your dreams. Don’t be afraid to share…blab.
