Standing in my dreams...

Hi my people!
Been M.I.A. for a minute...I know.

I've been trying to decide what dream to share next, but really, it's that I have really HUGE dreams and have been afraid to say what they are, out loud! Like, am I ready to share with the world?
Well, this past weekend I was in a course called Wisdom Unlimited. It's a course offered through Landmark Education-an organization dedicated to transforming your perception of your past and giving you access to a new future. (To find out more, go to www.landmarkeducation.com).
Wisdom Unlimited is a course that meets over 10 months and there are 5 weekends. It is a course that is designed to re-presence your dreams and passions in life and have you fulfill on them, while getting to know your community and having fun!
This past weekend was our 3rd weekend, and we talked a lot about our dreams. Like what are some dreams you've had and have forgotten about? And if all was well, like there was nothing for you to do but live your dreams, what would you be doing with your life?

So, what are my dreams?

Well, to start, by the completion of the course, which is in the end of January, I want to be living in my dream city, with my dream job and be living with my dream man.

Ok, I'll share what all that looks like to me.

Living in my dream city...
I grew up in Long Island, graduated from Syracuse University, lived in NYC for a few years, moved to Miami for almost 5 years and have been back in NYC for about 3 years.
I can positively say that the warm weather of Miami agreed with me. :) I love warm weather. Hot and humid doesn't bother me. My preferred climate is 80's and sunny, near a beach.
You're probably wondering, why did she move back to NYC from Miami, right? Well, I missed my family!
However, I am not sure I'd want to move back to Miami, though it is the closest to my family and friends versus moving to California. (Yes, California is a contender right now.) I'm in inquiry of it all right now. A friend of mine also asked me to wait until the course is over before I make a decision. So, I'm honoring her request. I also believe where I live depends on my other two dreams, the dream job and dream man.

So, let's take a look at that...

The dream job...
I want to create a TV network that is available worldwide, in as many languages as possible, where all the programming is empowering and inspirational. It's the place to go whenever you need a "pick me up" and it's available to you 24/7. It's a dream bigger than me, but I'm clear that I want to make a difference in the world in a huge way and this speaks to me!

Currently I am creating a website as a platform for this, and I'm looking for people who have inspiring stories they want to share, writers who are interested in writing about the good news in the world, guest bloggers and anyone who would like to be a part of this project!
:)
This is something I am creating in NYC at the moment, and it could take me anywhere in the world, as it's in the world that I want to be a contribution!

And now, the man of my dreams.
Until recently I was closed off in the world of love. I had been that way for 8 years. That's a long time to be without love.
Someone from my past recently re-surfaced unexpectedly, and he has opened up my eyes to what's possible, and I've just been afraid to let go! He has disintegrated all that I thought my dream man should look like, and thus has allowed me to be free and be present! For the first time in 8 years, my guard is down. HUGE DEAL!
Now that I'm open and can see clearly what I want, what I really, truly want is to be married to my best friend, my partner in crime, a man who inspires me, supports me, loves me, appreciates me, a man who I am attracted to inside and out, is up to great things, and loves life and people! My promise is to be and give all that in return and then some! Could it be the man from my past? Possibly! He is amazing! And, even if it's not him, I know there are great men out there, so I'm not worried one bit! :)
Dare I dream to say what I really want and make it happen? Yes!
I've been single for so long that I've been slightly resigned to even wanting to have a family! Like, how could I possibly think about having a family when I've been shut down to being in love? But, deep down in my inner core of being a woman, I would love to be a mom, someone who contributes to another life and have her life be contributed to as well, and I'm sure in ways I can't even imagine.

So, there you have it folks! Some of my dreams, in a nutshell. I have a lot to think about, and I am excited and glad I shared it with y'all! As I continue this blog, I will share what's opening up for me around these dreams and will still be sharing about other dreams too! I'll be checking in and updating. :)

By the way, I welcome guest bloggers on here, so if you have something you'd like to share, let me know and we can make that happen!

So, 'til next time, thanks for reading, and happy dreaming! :)

  1. Hi,

    When I read about your dreams something reaches across all my barriers, through my chest and tickles my soul with happiness. It could be the visual of your big smile with your honey or the dream job. As you share your dreams, many paths open for my heart to find its dreams.

    Thank you. Your post was clear, intimate and it gave my day a good direction.

  3. I like your (recent) dream share blog. I'm not sure if I really believe in the marriage portion fully just yet. But I'm happy to know that there is an outlet of hope for those of us who look to return one day. Maybe you were on to something when you said "You were single so long... “Which may contribute to the feeling I described above?

    Which ever direction the ball bounces in life, I do believe there is a great match (if not hundreds) for each of us somewhere in the world. The major hurdles are Being open to receiving him/her, being somewhere where you can meet one another and a willingness to change or give in to a few of our pre-conceived ideas of what we all consider the ideal mate. Hmmmm Just my thought.
