About the Site Designer: Shelly Durrell
It's only fair that you know a little bit about me and my background. Like you, I have had my share of ups and downs in my life, but through it all, I've ended up living a Great Life. I am one of those people who said "Someday I will write a book," and I did (Healing the Fisher King: Spiritual Lessons with Parzival, Gump, the Grail, and Star Wars). The book won five awards. I became a Kung Fu teacher (Sifu) in the Wah Lum Tam Tui Northern Praying Mantis System and also a teacher of Tai Chi and other Internal Martial Arts, teaching for over 24 years. I've organized shows, demonstrations, and seminars, allowing me to travel the world for these promotions. I've done rim-to-rim hikes of the Grand Canyon. A few years ago I moved to Vegas, allowing me to trek to Zion, Bryce, and the Grand Canyon a few times of the year. I continue to learn, grow, and seek out new adventures, which is my definition of a Great Life. I hope my website will help you enjoy your life and find your personal adventures.

We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.

Jesse Owens, athlete and person extraordinaire, definitely lived his life as he stated in his quote. No matter what dream you have chosen, you must back it with work.

Sometimes those Stage Task Lists and all they represent can be overwhelming — especially if you have pages of them. Here is a list of items to keep in mind as you are Working My Design.

You will be using the Stage Task Lists This file requires Adobe Acrobat Reader, which you can get from the Third Party Downloads panel at your left. you created in the previous Stage Task Assignments section. You will also be using the Stage & Project Evaluation List. Using this list is covered in the Applying the Stars System section of Phase III: Finishing. You should be familiar with this section so you can make comments when finishing a stage or project. After completing the exercise, you can insert it into the Current section of your DYGL Binder.

Working My Design

  1. Use the process described in Phase II: The Work to record your tasks as you complete them by recording actual times, Spirit notes, and additional notes. You will be adding new tasks, so be clear on what ID system you want to use.
  2. It would be easy to skip the Spirit column, but don't do it. At the minimum, do it mentally. By keeping in touch with your Spirit, you will work more efficiently.
  3. Every night, look over your Stage Task Lists for the next day. Get together any materials you will need for the following day. Get your clothes together so you don't have to do any last minute ironing or repairs.
  4. Devise a system of indicating if you were successful or not with your Behavior Change marks. You may wish to use highlighters of different colors to mark success or no success. You may want to put a "-" sign for no go, and a "+" sign for success. That way you will be able to visually see how you are doing, in addition to the pride you will feel as you are successful.
  5. When you finish a stage of your project, make a Stage & Project Evaluation List according to Phase III: Finishing.
