Graduation

I LOVE Graduation ceremonies, they are inspiring, While I was waiting for graduation to start I was chatting with a woman about what she loved and what her dream job would be.  She told me she can't give herself that luxury.  She told me that she has to work a job that will give her benefits and that even though she hates her job she can't dare to think about what she loves it would be too painful.  It is not the first and I am sure not the last time I hear those sentiments.  I know the fear, I know the desperation and believe me, I know the struggle.  I am so glad I dared to dream, to hope, to believe life is more than what we are living. I dare you to entertain the possibilities. When I realized the worst thing that could happen is disappointment I said "bring it on".  Dare to dream and dare to be disappointed, disappointment doesn't kill us, but stuffing our dreams just might.
Where do I start?  It's been so long I don't even know what I love.
Make a list of 20 things you love and do it every day for a week.
Think about what you loved as a child?  What did you play at?  What made you happy?
Start there and let it grow.....
