As you consider life, I invite you to excavate those old dreams that still glow somewhere in your core. Maybe it's to publish a book, graduate from college or invent something fabulous. Remember, your life is continually unfolding.

Alexia Abernathy invented the nonslosh bowl at the age of 11 which is now in Toys "R" Us, Wal-Mart and Target. Julia Child wrote her famous cookbook "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" at age 49, and completed her PBS series at age 85.

Rediscover that thing that made your heart go pitter-pat and do a little here and there. Hoeing daily at your dream can yield fabulous fruits. Bette Nesmith wanted something that would paint over mistakes rather than erase them so she developed liquid paper. Five years after she started the developing process, she sold it to The Gillette Co. for $47.5 million. That's some fabulous fruit.

As I look over the past 15 years, it's clear what experiences — which at the time seemed mundane and ordinary — were pivotal in helping me progress to be able to take advantage of this opportunity now. That's not to say that I'm perfectly prepared — not by a long shot. But each building block has made it more enjoyable, more applicable, and more possible for me to enjoy the process and hopefully help someone else achieve her dream, too.

LIFETip: Spend 10 minutes with your eyes closed and go back to what you used to love to do or dream about doing in your life. Consider one way you can take a step in that direction again.
