Thank you for this! I love it and identify! My husband and I used to have a “hopes and dreams” for the year date every September. I saved all of our ideas. Now that he has died, I’m learning to dream for myself. I made a 5 year plan, and it gives me hope!
My unfiltered dream is to be a full time creative running an art studio and shop that is managed mainly by someone else so I can focus on making art, teaching classes, creating fun stationary and publishing my best selling memoirs. I live in a city full of flowers and trees and water. I go into the woods to write and eat good food with the person I love. ❤️
ugh, this feels so timely for me. I've been unemployed for exactly 7 months after a really toxic but high profile position. I started with big dreams but I've been shrinking them as the months go by...
“After running an online shop, I became so allergic to selling anything to my audience, hated feeling like I had a sales job, felt like commerce clouded the messages of my art. This feels different, like a healthy and mutually supportive middle ground, like I’m just playing my guitar in a town square with a tip cup ❤️ “ - omg - I feel this and love this so much!
I've been thinking about this post for a little while now and got together with a friend this past weekend where we wrote out our dreams. One of mine was to write and teach a class about color values. Wouldn't you know it, the next day when I met up with my monthly children's book critique group, I mentioned the dream and they all agreed to be my guinea pigs! That's probably the fastest turn around to any dream I've ever said out loud.
What a joyful post to read early in the morning! :D
be long term friends with a seal xD
Ok one of my biggest dreams is to be a published author AND be able to pay rent, food and gasoline with that money (I live in Iceland so cost of living is very high ehe)

That September tradition is genius! I’m so sorry for your loss. Glad you’re still dreaming 💛 5 year plan = hope generator !!

Ugh that’s so dispiriting, tough job followed by unemployment is brutal for the dreams! Do you have a pal you think might do this exercise with you?
Yes! I think I’m ready again 💝
