Sweet Dreams
By Sue Dyson
An amazing thing happened to
me a little while ago. I was out for a sweet power walk one evening
with my new friend Jan. We just recently met, both new to the
area, both with kids at home. We have begun asking each other
out for walks, usually around 9 pm when the kids are in or going
to bed. Or at least pretending to (right Campbell?) It's pure,
unadulterated, woman time. Plus we get exercise. I happened to
ask her, "What do you dream about doing?".

Boy, talk about getting to know
someone well and quickly! This was such a great, intimate question
to ask. (I must say!) What it did was, it cut to the quick of
the matter. We could have spent our time talking about trivialities,
who did what that day, what our husbands said about something,
the things that came up that day with our kids. That stuff will
always be there. It's simply busy-talk. How often do we get to
tell someone we trust about our dreams? There's something magical
that happens once we begin talking about them, too.
They begin to take on a life
of their own. Suddenly our dream is not such a secret anymore.
Sometimes we aren't even aware of how we feel about the desire
or dream until it is verbally expressed. Putting it into words
makes it come alive. It's not that we become more accountable
or anything, well, maybe it causes us to become more accountable
to ourselves. The purpose in expressing our dreams isn't meant
to put pressure on us. It's more mystical than that. Putting
it out in the open, expressing our desires, impresses on the
Universe what we want. |

If it's something we are entirely
passionate about, something we deeply earn for, the feeling will
be expressed and impressed as well and that's when cool things
begin to happen. See, this great Universe of ours really wants
us to have all we desire. When our heart is truly into it, that's
when the Universe knows for certain it is something we truly
desire. Then it delivers. Things begin to line up to make your
dreams a reality. Heaven on Earth, Mama.
So do something nice for your
favorite woman friend today. Ask her what she dreams of doing.
As an added bonus, she'll likely feel so good about stating her
dreams to you, that she'll ask you the same. Feel-goods all around.
You might be wondering what she
told me. Well, as a good friend, I cannot divulge, but I can
tell you, I learned a lot about her then, and I hope she learned
about me. Sharing our intimate thoughts and dreams catapults
a relationship from 'getting to know each other' to 'cherished'.
And that's what life is all about, after all. Being intimate
with one another, relating beautifully, learning and growing.
If you can attain this type of success in just one of your relationships,
you'll be inspired and expect it in all your relationships. You'll
stop settling for less and life becomes so much richer. |
