Transitions for parents, college students, and baby boomers require us to review and assess what matters now. During a telephone group chat, the number one drop on keeping dreams alive was there was no support.
Beauty doesn’t give up. It shifts and looks dead but not to be trite, you know there is still life in those roots of winter.
Who is there for your happiness? If you are starting over with friendships or partners and your vase is empty, reach for websites that have free forums. Say what you need and ask for what you want. It is a safe place to practice being in touch with what you want and talking about your dreams so they don’t die.

As some of you know, I persevere because I love what I do and communication
is my passion. I don’t fear speaking up for what I love.
For one dream I had, which was to present a workshop for a week at a resort and spa, I made twelve contacts to the director before I got a yes. My passion was bigger than my fear. What passion could carry you to the dream? A dream is also a feeling, for example, wanting to feel vibrant or happy. Use POST IT SIGNS to remind you of your dream. Let your eyes catch that dream and then hear yourself say, YES I WANT THAT.
Simple steps work. I want that sounds so small. It lifts your energy and the ways of getting it will unfold for you. You will get your next idea of what to do to make it come closer to you. Trust. Keep the vision in front of you daily. Tell people your dream and ask for their support, for example a text from them, an email. You would do it for them.
What puts the brakes on your dreams?
