....friday thought


this morning as i was walking, listening to a podcast....something was said that hit home for me and i wanted to share. so here goes.....

"if you want your dreams to come true...then wake up!!"

it really resonated with me just how much truth there is to that statement.
it is one thing to dreams our dreams....but another to actually
wake up, put one foot in front of the other to make
them happen! so, for me, it is time to take some
action towards my dreams!!!

thank you all sooooooo much for the kind comments and
words of wisdom from my last post!
it always means so much to me and it really truly helped me
in knowing i am not alone in those moments
and others get "stuck" too!!!

happy happy happy weekend to you all!!!
i am fortunate enough to have a little time with my girlfriends
this weekend in Laguna!
Thank you to my fabulous hubby for hanging with the kiddlies!!

sending love!
xoxoxo

also.....a BIG congrats to this incredibly talented artist...
one of her paintings made the cover of the
May/June 2010 Somerset Studio Magazine!!!! whoot!! whoot!!
such deserved success!!!!!

  2. Yes that is so very true...Dreams need action to be fulfilled. Setting goals is merely child's play in the grand scheme if you don't put the work in to reach them.

    I am sure this weekend with your girlfriends will give you even more inspiration to set your dreams in motion! Have a wonderful time!

  6. What a wonderful post, I'm so glad I stopped by your inspiring blog! Dreams help to set our minds free, but you make such a good point about having to "wake up" and take action to make them happen. That actualizing is so absolutely important, and I really think that when people take action on their dreams those can be some of their proudest moments! Have a wonderful weekend with friends!

  7. That's so true! In order to reach our dreams, we should push and work to make them happen. There's a quote that I love and I actually posted on my twitter recently: “Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it.”
    Hope you like it!
    Enjoy your weekend darling :)

  8. This was such a good post to read. It is so easy for me to get caught up in daydreaming about things that can happen - and harder to put them into action. Thank you for the reminder.

    I hope you had a fun weekend!

    Thank you for the birthday wishes!

    love love love

  9. You have got to be one of the loveliest women I know! I love your honest and inspiring posts! And I couldn't agree with you more. I love that there is always a time for dreaming and then a time to make those dreams a reality. And as soon as they are, there will be more dreams and the whole creative cycle begins again!! Hope you had a most magical time with your girl friends!! Love, Silke

  11. I'm all about the "dream" thing right now . . and I just laughed when I saw that I need to "wake up!". That's so true, isn't it? Dream with open eyes . . . I think that's T.S. Eliot.
    I'll be interested to hear what your dreams are that you are taking action toward. I think the hardest part for me is figuring out my truest and most desired dream. It gets confusing sometimes.
    p.s. thank you for always leaving such heartfelt comments at my place--I appreciate that so much! Also, I will be looking into that book you suggested. . . : )
