It's only money. Make it a magic pill which instantly brings me to my ideal weight and never lets me gain a pound no matter how many slices of cheesecake I ate or how many apple martinis I down. But I like the concept, it puts the dream in perspective. If you want it bad enough, you will make it happen. Good post. I’m afraid $300K wouldn’t make me drop everything. It’s only money.

Something for me to remember on these summer days with the kids home, when I struggle to carve out an hour of writing time between errands and play dates and then the phone rings or a toilet backs up. When it seems so much more sensible to just give up. Thanks! Yes, great post.

Teri's back! This is a great post. It's so important to prioritize the work, and sometimes we don't give ourselves permission to do so. If imagining $3M makes it happen, so be it! Yay! Teri’s back!
