'I have a dream'
....the
famous words spoken by Martin Luther King...
There are many great inventions today that started out as someone’s
dream. They woke, wrote it down, spoke about
it, got excited and took action! We
enjoy many of these things today - the inventions, gadgets, buildings, and
songs and more. I think it is important
to try and write down your dreams and have found often a problem that I have
been dealing with or something that has bothered me is answered in a dream or
an insight to the problem is given.
I once had a dream for an amazing children’s story, along
with the illustrations as well and rather than write it down as soon as I woke
I thought I would remember the details, unfortunately all I remembered was that
it was a really great story and how excited I felt about it (learnt my lesson and write everything down!). I currently now dream of living somewhere
that is warm and in reach of the sea, having my studio overlook my gardens, and
the sounds of tropical birds and tree frogs in the distance. I celebrate today that I can dream and get
excited about the dreams of others and one day see those dreams become a reality. What dreams do you have for your life - or even for the rest of the week?

ReplyDeleteYours sounds great .. I just need a nook and cranny when I visit!!
Great that you're doing Blog Love - I'll be back to catch up and will look across at a few ..

Hi Amanda, I love your art! And I think your attitude is wonderful. This is the first blog love I've encountered, and I know that I'm going to borrow the idea for next year (credited to you!) I often tweet a little tagline --"Writers helping writers, it's a beautiful thing." and I see it here-not in words but in your actions! :-)
ReplyDeleteI thought about Martin Luther King today--the anniversary of such a sad thing.
I'm so glad you stopped by my blog yesterday, and I'll be following you now--have to keep track of someone with so much talent that it pours out in different ways! :-)
Thanks for the mention! Dreams are a favorite topic of mine. It's a shame Martin Luther King didn't live longer. He was such an inspiration in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteMy first dream is that my kids are successful in life. Then second I just dream of producing more books and gaining readers.
Everyone needs a personal dream. I am enjoying watching your art as it grows and shows who you are.
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you for the blog love!!! So sweet of you!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this reminder to dream! I think that it is crucial to fully enjoy life. And knowing that there is a difference between dreaming and expecting is important too. And I love when my dreams are realized in completely unexpected ways. That is always the best!
Hi Amanda, I'm another creative a-z blogger, or trying to be! I love your blog and artwork, really glad I checked through the list again for blogs that looked appealing to me. I love the journal image you start the D with, is that one of your creations? My motto is DREAM BIG, ENJOY LIFE. Good luck with the challenge!
