Continuing to Dream

wedding_header

Going through the winter weeks of this slow season has been so joyful to my spirit! Having the time to hang out with family and friends with a balance of business tasks has been the right dose of medicine for this 2015 year! 🙂 I have allowed time to sit down and DREAM. Sketching and writing out ideas … some small and manageable and some BIG! I came up with a hugeeeee idea last week and finally had the guts to contact someone about my idea. 🙂 I’m SO excited and also nervous at the same time because I’m sitting down next week to see if this can be a reality for 2016 or 2017! Ah! I won’t be able to spill the beans until it is organized. 🙂 It is going to be a work in process project for a long time but I know it will be a hit!

With everything going on, I thought this Ashlee Proffitt print was appropriate for today’s posting, “If your dreams don’t scare you they are not big enough”. SO true! If you have ideas going through your head and you think they are too big for your little self, I DARE you to tackle them! Make it a priority on your to do list next week and start that big project by researching and contacting people! Great things will come out of this courageous action. We have amazing abilities to think creatively and BIG so why not take advantage of these big dreams and not let it sit on a shelf? Believe in yourself and let those aspirations come to life. <3
