A SALUTE TO THE DREAMERS OF THE WORLD

The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers.  But above all, the world needs dreamers who do.  

~Sarah Ban Breathnach, Simple Abundance

What I love about my work is that in doing it I come across other like minded people around the world, dreaming the dream and making it come alive in their own ways. This week has been a wonderful busy week. The wires of communication have been buzzing and energy building in my little corner of the world... I have been in contact with educators who are also concerned about  our education system, and teachers and parents. A friend is running a visioning workshop for families wanting to create their own homes and communities. My husband's celebration of cycling is on this weekend. Others are joining together to create an alternative school in our area. I have 'met' a doula for the Amish community's home births in the US via the wonders of Facebook. And have come across some great resources, put together by people really thinking outside the box. I salute you all. Every man, woman and child who dares to dream and then act upon their dream. More power to you!

Thanks to all who lift my spirits on days when I despair of what doesn't work in the world, who work on regardless, who envisage beauty where there is only dullness, who have hope where there is only despair and who dare to dream big and share their dreams. 

Dream on... 

And finally some words to strengthen your resolve to dream louder, harder and bigger, from other dreamers of renown... (thanks to thequotegarden.com for these.)

Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion.  You must set yourself on fire. 

 ~Arnold H. Glasow

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.  

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

When the world says, "Give up,"
Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."

 Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it.  

~Buddha

 If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again.
