Do you remember when I wrote this post, the one about living your {dreams}?
The reality is, most folks aren’t living out their dreams. When you mention yours to them, the only reference point they have is their own – chasing dreams wasn’t prudent for them, therefore it’s not prudent for you. I’ve said it before but it’s worth repeating: those who have given up on their dreams will try to get you to abandon yours. It doesn’t make them bad folks it just means they didn’t pursue their passion, so neither should you. The reality is, making your dreams become reality is a scary proposition, it’s not for the faint of heart, but it’s rewarding beyond belief. (Josh Cox)
After writing the {What is your DREAM} post, I received words of encouragement from friends & readers, and lots {and lots} of prayer!
Lauren: AMEN! Melody this was so inspiring. I am so happy that you are going to follow your dreams. I have been in the mist of chasing mine and perhaps may have good news to write about next week Im proud of you!
Dorothy: I love you! You will get your dreams – remember DREAM BIG – the sky is the limit. xoxo
Amanda: Melody, you speak to my heart of hearts here! I have so many dreams….
Josh Cox even re-tweeted me:
