Someone’s brilliant and inspired exhibition at the 2009 Rose Bowl Parade -
Leonardo Da Vinci - one of the greatest dreamers of all time.

If there were even one bright light amidst a pitch black night
it would have the ability to radiate for miles with the potency to illuminate a multitude of pathways.

Don’t terminate your dreams. Please don’t stuff them away. Don’t think any of the seemingly insignificant or ridiculous notions that swim around or marinate in your brain, keeping you up nights, sending your heart soaring and swooning, propelling blissful shock waves through your soul, butterflies in your stomach - for weeks, months, maybe even years - is inconsequential.
You might feel if you brought it out to the world that it wouldn’t matter, or wouldn’t make a difference. After all, who is going to want to hear your idea, listen to your song, read your novel, taste your fabulous spaghetti sauce, utilize your new and improved mouse trap…

We have all been given very special and unique gifts in this lifetime, and although we may gratefully accept these gifts, we truly are only doing half of our job as receivers if we don’t share with others what it is we have received. That ’s just how it is. You need to take all of those plans you socked away on scraps of paper and pull them out of your junk drawer, collect all the sheet music you had given up a long time ago on, gather up that manuscript that has been rejected what - at least once if not twenty times…just splash your face, brush your teeth, slap a smile on and commit to getting it out into the light. Because this is what you were meant to do - maybe one of the many things you were meant to do - all of those dreams you let go by the way side because of that little voice inside your head (or some of the voices outside of your head) telling you it wasn’t a good enough idea, people might laugh, its been done before, you’ll fail miserably, why don’t you get a real job, what are you crazy?

WELL YOU KNOW WHAT? la la la la la la la la….I can’t hear you…la la la la la …did you say something because I CAN’T HEAR YOU….

NO MORE. You MUST bring it out, because not only were these Divine gifts meant to enchant You, inspire You, teach You, Delight You…they were also intended for all of us as well. And that’s what we do, we share.
