When you were young, you had vibrant dreams of beautiful, endless possibility. Before the world said "no", there were few things that diminished those dreams. I always wanted to be an artist, a musician, a race car driver and astronaut. And yet after time, the outside world observes these dream, dims it's light, and sets it in the darkest corner to wither out and be forgotten as nothing more than a product of foolish, childish endeavors. When is the last time you dreamed of limitless potential, the way you did as a child? Has your flame been dimmed, or completely snuffed out? Is it even possible to pursuit a dream? What is the reality of the situation? Is it real, or just a vision? So I ask you all this: Why did you let go of your dreams? When did you begin to say, "I can't"? And lastly, who told you this? I'm willing to bet someone else told you to "dim that flame", "be realistic", "stop day-dreaming", or "get your head out of the clouds." All valid from an exterior perspective. But what happens if that dream became a lived reality? What would that feel like? Most importantly, why shouldn't you live your passion exactly as you believed it possible in the first place? No one can do what you do. We need dreamers to inspire others to believe. We've touched the moon, traveled the expanse of the land, peered into the universe, discovered the atom and designed wonders that astonish the minds of scholars to this very day. If none of those people had dreamed, we would live in a world filled with nothing but mediocrity. Dream big, because mediocrity is the death of legendary.

I’ve struggled with sleep since I can remember and I think the older I get the worse it is… I take a sleeping pill and sleep hard for a hour or two then I just can’t sleep… laid down at 9 tonight slept till a little after 10 and here I am wide awake I don’t get it! I find myself trying so many different things that I’m at a loss… anyone have any suggestions on what may work for them? I try reading, sound machine, meditating, even mediation guidance the list is endless and I still come up empty handed!

Take 30 minutes today and make yourself a priority and do something fun and kind for yourself. Tell me in the comments what you are doing and send a photo.

Im very much a introvert and shy… tonight at camp they are having a pig roast that campers go to and as the time nears i feel the anxiety build.. im going to come out of my comfort zone and attend this but its fair to say the closer it gets the more im second guessing my courage to go.. I have my granddaughter here with me this weekend who will be a good distraction while there, an easy out if I need it to cut the dinner short.. i am sitting here already coming up with excuses to not go..I could easily sit alone at camp like I usually do to avoid the uncomfortableness of a social event but…. Instead I am going to push myself to get there and a small goal for the event is to meet/small talk to just one person…. Baby steps… one step at a time! Happy Saturday everyone!
