Sleep Better. Dream Bigger.

The “Sleep Better. Dream Bigger” project has come to Stephenville, Texas to learn about folks’ dreams and aspirations. Following up on our national survey in June, we wanted to learn how one town is following its dreams. And we wanted to teach people there how to sleep better to help them reach those dreams. Through the efforts of our Stephenville-based blogger G.D. Gearino, the entire country will learn from the town’s experience.

To help spread the word about the importance of taking care of yourself and following your dreams—even in tough times—we’ve enlisted the help of Jewel, an internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter who just happens to live on a ranch on the outskirts of Stephenville. With her just-released CD “Lullaby”, she’s the perfect person to get an encouraging message out to Sleep Better and Dream Bigger.

Stop by the Sleep Better Showroom in the Oxford House (563 North Graham St.) to learn how the right sleep environment can help you sleep better and dream bigger.

After all, if you can’t sleep, you can’t dream.

The first 15 showroom visitors each day will receive tickets to a family-style picnic with Jewel, and the first 30 visitors will receive a free pillow. Attend the picnic to be entered to win a complete bed makeover from SleepBetter.org.

Dreams — big, small and perverse

In the foyer of the Oxford House, where I have lived for a month, sits a cork board upon which dozens of small pieces of paper have been pinned. Every person who visited during that month was asked to write down his or her dream and attach it to the board, under the belief that [...]
