Dust off Your Dreams

As children we often dream and imagine what life is going to be like in our future.

As we grow up we may get the message that it is a 'waste' of time to fantasize so much, and that we need to be practical and 'face reality'.

We may reach a point in life when we wonder if we wasted time by NOT following through on those early dreams and goals.

That is what is happening to me. I'm 'stepping back' to review what were my dreams and goals as a child. 

What did I really want to do 'when I grew up'?

Life can be rather dull and routine if we go from day-to-day simply doing the 'normal' and 'mundane' tasks before us.

Having a big dream, a vision, a big goal to reach for, adds passion and purpose and Joy to our lives.

What is your dream, your vision for the future?  Do you have a big goal to work towards?

If not, what do you think your life would be like to have one?

Maybe it is time to dust off those dreams you've had in the past, to revisit the goals that you considered important and put aside in order to survive.

Timing is important in every project. 
It is time now to focus on this project again.  
Even though I have not been posting on this blog, I have been talking to people about the Wellness Community.

I originally wanted to call it a Wellness Community, and a few people suggested that I call it a center instead of a community.

It is clear to me now that Wellness Community gives people a more clear image of what we are creating.  

I plan to post updates soon on the current activities.

Update June 2008

Life can be so busy!

It amazes me how so many activities pull at my attention, and my dream tends to take a 'back seat'.

A friend invited me to attend an event held by Powerful Women International. I was inspired yet again to 'dust off' my ideas for this dream and move forward with this project. I suppose the fact that it is such a large project makes it seem overwhelming. Taking small steps in the direction of fulfillment is the best way I know to make this dream real.

Welcome!

Welcome to all the supporters and team members for this valuable project!

I'm in the process of making presentations to groups about the center.
My first one is scheduled at the San Leandro Rotary Club August 15th.

My friend and supporter Donn Wadley suggested I do this presentation like a marketing survey for a Rotaract Club in Silicon Valley. It would be very helpful for me to know how people view the center.

Is it something people will want to use and benefit from?
What do people really want to be available at the center?
What are the key elements that will attract visitors, regular customers, home owners and vacation rental share holders (it is similar to a timeshare, structured with shares that people buy and use at different centers around the world).

My BIG vision is to have at least 100 centers like this around the world.

Progress

George and Mark Famous are architects in Oakland. They are excited about this project. They submitted a proposal to develop the feasibility study.

Jan Hagan helped me create the new logo with a Bird of Paradise and Hummingbird. I think she did a wonderful job! It looks perfect to me!

I'm creating an advisory team to help guide the project. And I'm working on the business plan.

Welcome! I am commited to creating this center!

Thank you for being part of my support team!

In whatever way you feel able to assist, I welcome your efforts and support.

This blog is a way for us to share ideas and resources, and to keep track of the progress of this valuable project.

My commitment and goal is to open the new center in November 2007 -- in time for a big Thanksgiving celebration!

Thank you!
