DEDICATED TO BELIEVERS

I am a believer.
I believe that dreams can come true if you put your heart and soul into them.
I believe in "happily ever after movies" with a moral that warms your heart and makes you cry.
I believe that people are trustworthy and sincere.
I believe that emotions are a good thing and that it never hurts to be open and honest.

I thought I wanted to be a lawyer when I was in High School but after an internship experience, I realized that law was not truly about justice and fairness.
I became a clinical social worker which was closer to my values of honesty, trust, respect and caring about relationships.  After many years in practise, I have come to realize that many  people would rather not dig so deep, are afraid of their feelings and prefer to live in some form of denial.

I currently own my own business and have come to realize that the business world is no different for a believer. In fact, it can squelch the best of passions one has. I have repeatedly been confronted with the realization that people do not always say what they really mean, do not act consistently with what they say, and are often defensive in response to my honesty.  Last, but not least, sincerity is too often not  the driving force behind others actions but money is.

I do believe that my customers appreciate my true commitment to fairness and the caring, peronal attention that I provide. I wish that was enough but, to my sad realization,  success is not necessasrily about kindness and caring.

So, I write this to those of you who are also dreamers. Read the book The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
and embrace your passions.

Hold onto some form of trust in your spirit and know that you are not alone.
While they invented "the Dream Catcher" for children to help them with their nighttime fears, I believe we should  invent a new dream catcher for adults who want to hold onto their dreams. Maybe it is not about dreams coming true but about the desire to hold onto those dreams and not letting anyone or anything take them away.

All things are difficult before they are easy. Whatever we do, we must put our heart and soul in it. Thanks for you blog.
