I was having a conversation this morning with my husband about finances, work ethics and dreams.  We have a very different outlook on each of these topics and yet share similar dreams. 

A girlfriend called this morning… as I write a hummingbird has come to visit my sweet peas… to let me know she is busy all weekend.  She is excited about her business and has some free time away from the responsibilities of her three young boys as they have gone camping for the weekend.  She wants to do something “amazing” this weekend to maximize the “free” time.  So she’s going to do some networking at our music festival.  We also have a very different approach to living our dreams.

As for me, this morning I have been puttering in my house.  Tidying, doing laundry, washing dishes, listening to some of my favourite music (Cat Stevens, Van Morrisson, Bossa ‘n Stones, Yvette Narlock and now Goddess Chants), drinking tea and now doing a little writing.  My tummy has had something up for a week and I’ve just come down with a cold.  Even so, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world right now.

 Does it get any better than this?  I can’t imagine.

 I’ve had some pretty big dreams over the course of my 40 years so far on the planet.  To write a book (done), swim with the dolphins (done; I still want to swim with the whales), go to Africa (done), make a difference in people’s lives (done), love my children (done), fall in love (done, this one I liked so much I’ve done it LOTS of times).  I fulfilled some dreams I didn’t even know I had… run 5 marathons, become an entrepreneur, travelled to Korea, met Wayne Dyer, Neale Walsch, Marianne Williamson, seen the Dalai Lama speak, shared 5 days of silence with Adyashanti.

 I’ve definitely got a few more dreams in me, there’s another book to be written, I’d like to leave some kind of lasting legacy in Africa, I’d like to be fully engaged and making a great living doing the work that I was born to do, I’d like to meet more peace keepers and spiritual teachers, there is much of the world left to explore (Europe, India, Peru, South America)… but for right now, in this moment I am content and so blessed.  I have love in my life and I am enough.  That’s what dreams are made of for me.
