I ran across these questions the other day and it stirred up one of my favorite subjects...dreams. The questions were framed like this "What are the gifts God placed in your heart? Are there dreams inside lying dormant?" ohhh, I just love this line of thinking. It stirred up something inside me that hasn't been stirred in a while. I have gotten caught in the busyness of life and work and it distracted me. So I took part of my weekend and looked through my journals to look over my musings of dreams and goals. What found was something that startled me a bit. I found a detailed list of things that I needed to do over several months. Enter Competions Enter some Art Shows

Advertise in a large manner

It is so funny what your mind will do. I have no idea when in the last year that I made this list (guess I should date my journals) but I have done everything on that list. I am so amazed where our subconscience mind will take us. This goes back to my days of mapping my career and how I have accomplished everything on what was on my 'dream' map. Now I think it is time to develope a continued dream and vision. I won't call it new because it is all a continuation of where I am headed. What I realized this weekend was I have been giving myself tasks and lists (which are good and valuable) but where was the vision? I want a blow-your-mind-impossible vision of where I would like to head in my life. Something I can barely perceive in my mind's eye, something so exciting to me that I have no idea how I could possible get there. What was this list? Advertise in a large manner?! That is a task and easy to do if you have cash. I want the "impossible dream" version of life. So I pounded out some ideas this weekend and I will place them in my heart and think on them for the next week or so. I have been asked by people "what if you don't have any dreams?" I reply, I think you do, you just need to be still enough to hear them-does the same image of yourself pop up more than once? Does the work it would take to accomplish that dream excite you? It is ok if it overwhelms you a bit, big dreams can do that. If you had every resource in front of you what would you be doing? If you find yourself with the same image-even if it is foggy-you are on your way to having a dream for yourself. Quick! Jot it down, don't limit yourself. Just let the words-adjectives and averbs flow. You are on your way!
