Imagination is the highest kite we can fly.

I ran across an article a few days ago about this professional mermaid. The story made me smile; the ideas, passion, and work involved to manifest a mermaid’s dream were all there. Well, it’s these stories that I relate to as a fellow dreamer. And the more unique the dream, the more I smile. Enjoy this link to this fabulous dreamer, and there’s a video that I enjoyed watching on her website. It’s not every day one sees an actual mermaid at work.
Dreams emotionally move me. They fill all the spaces between the inner workings of my body, and they connect all the dots and challenge me to create new spaces. I have dreams of my own, and honor those of my girls and grandkids, my family, and friends by sending love and positive thoughts. I know the process is intensely personal, and soul-linked in a way that makes it so. By design, it’s a part of our DNA, I believe.
I believe that we’re all designed to carry our dreams; to protect them, to nurture them, and to take responsiblility for them all. I sometimes imagine that we were given precious seeds for our journey here. I’ve often thought that our main reason for being is to rediscover who we really are. And in finding our dreams, we find the core answer.
What recent dream have you read about or heard that made you smile? Mine was the mermaid, hands down!
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deep fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

The mermaid video was really cool. I’m living my dream right now, going forth in my career my own way. I can’t tell you how good I’m feeling about it. LaD, I can see you doing this too.
“I’ve often thought that our main reason for being is to rediscover who we really are.”
Love this, LaD! Nothing resonates with me more than those words. May I print them out and paste them next to my monitor?
Do you feel personal evolution on a daily basis? I do, and the more I give into it, the more growth I feel. I think it happens to those willing to grasp change, while others ignore the voice that tells them to try something new, keeping themselves in a perpetual rut.
I knew you’d love the mermaid video, Edie!
And I love that you’re following your instincts…only way to fly.
Thanks for the good thoughts my way too! I’m a “going forth in my career, my own way gal” too! I’m so happy you found the perfect path for you, and that your gut tells ya it’s the right thing to do! Soooo important!
I discovered with Butterfly Wishes that I loved working within a familial atmosphere. Not such a big surprise for anyone that knows me! I found the perfect fit for me in small publishing, and that’s what I’d love to find again.
Hey Kathy, you surely can print those words out! Thanks for the compliment. And yes, I want to learn something new everyday about myself and life. A day without going hmmmm, doesn’t do it for me.
Nice video, LaD. Love the idea of being a mermaid. Wouldn’t work for me because I’m part cat and don’t really like swimming.
Hey Liz, you made me laugh!
And ya know, I think it’d be so fun being a mermaid. Except I can’t hold my breath that long, and not sure I’d look as great in that costume. lol But hey, there’s gotta be a few ol’ mermens out there that wouldn’t mind. 
Thanks, LaD. I just saved it in MSWord and its printing as we speak.
