Clear New Heights

In "Rekindle Your Dreams", Trish's JOY is contagious! This is the book to "jump start" anyone's life when we realize what fuels that joy, is none other than our Creator. There is no better master plan than to go to the source, Trish shows, by weaving encouraging Biblical promises throughout her suggestions. She not only shares her successes and failures to rekindling her own dream, but makes it clear that mind, body and spirit need to be taken care of no matter what your dream. The action plan that is given at the end of each chapter is always supported by both a secular quote as well as Bible verse to show that being heavenly minded certainly makes us earthly good too!

Just What I Needed

As I approach my 49th birthday, I really need a boost to rekindle everything! With an empty nest looming, an extra 50 lbs that I lug around every day wearing me out, and a sense of what is ahead will never be as good as what is behind me, I bought this book. Trish's forthright delivery and her story alone made me see that the party is NOT over! I highly recommend this book as it will reach into your heart and gently pull you up to the place where you can see the world from a different perspective.

A Handbook for everyday life

I recently read "Rekindle Your Dreams," by Trish Porter. I really liked this book! I highly recommend this book to women and men alike as Ms. Porter's steps to pursuing a dream are basic steps we all can use in our daily lives, as well as working toward our dream. "Rekindle Your Dreams" is a handbook on managing our time more efficiently, becoming healthier and steps to reaching our dream. The big difference between Ms. Porter's book and the other books such as this is that Ms. Porter emphasizes God's role in our dreams and daily lives. Along with her steps for time management, and health, Ms. Porter also has a chapter on improving our relationship with God. As Ms. Porter puts it, "...God has placed a dream in all of our hearts." She emphasizes that God is with us through all our trials and jubilations and will also be with us as we pursue our dream. Ms. Porter reminds us of God's presence by quoting scripture throughout the book. As Ms. Porter lists steps leading to the pursuit of our dream, she shares stories of her own life as an athlete, a mom and her relationship with God. She also shares stories of other women, some also moms, some athletes, many not, who took the steps to pursue their dreams; some successful, some not. These stories made the steps to pursuing a dream as well as managing time better and improving health more realistic than other books I've read. Ms. Porter also stresses that once an action plan is written and begun, we must re-read and re-evaluated because life is ever changing and we have to make adjustments in our plan. In the last chapter, she reminds us to give thanks. As we are able to pursue our dream, God is always with us. She quotes Colossians 3:23, NIV: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for man."

An excellent motivational tool

Those of us who have reached a certain age often look back wistfully, wondering where and when we walked away from our dreams. Not Trish Porter. Eleven years after being sidelined from her Olympic jumping career, by a trampoline induced neck injury, and with all the responsibilities of a wife and mother of two, Trish rekindled her dreams, and went on to win the World Masters High-Jump Championship. In doing so, she proved that the rest of us can overcome the obstacles and excuses that keep us from realizing our dreams. Her book is a practical guide to realizing our own dreams, with tips on everything from time management to nutrition. Go for it!
