Now, you are all my peeps so I’m counting on you to know where that title quote came from.
Kicking off our month of dreams and desires starts with getting acquainted with our dreams and desires. How often do you have this juicy conversation. With yourself? With your partner? With family or friends? In fact you may be more likely to tell your hairdresser of your dreams because it feels safer.
So, what’s with that? Is it because your hairdresser won’t pass judgment on your dreams? Or check in on you every time they see you? Is it because you don’t feel you’ll have to follow through, as if the hairdresser really cares?
Hmmmmm. What is it with playing the dreams and desires card close to our chests?
Sometimes it’s because we’ve lost touch with our dreams.
In getting through our daily and weekly tasks we don’t put time aside for such a frivolous idea as daydreaming.
It has almost become a badge of motherly honour to give up your dreams when you start a family so you can help them pursue theirs.
And you were hypnotized by that way of thinking for a while, just like I was. But we’re emerging, before it’s too late. We aren’t waiting for retirement.
We are the role models who are 100% there for our families AND 100% there for ourselves too.
Soooooo……
WHAT’S YOUR DREAM?
If you are still struggling with that quote it’s from Pretty Woman. Such a classic. Must watch it with my 14 year old – although I will be seriously a little heart broken if she doesn’t love it like I do.

Anyways, back to our dreams.
I……you guessed it…….made a little printable, see below. On the printable I’ve broken life down into 9 sections. They may not apply to you perfectly so please, change as needed.
Be curious. Be inspired. Be courageous.
This is for you. Nobody is going to make you do anything you don’t want to do, so feel safe in truly exploring some new and maybe even wild idea’s.
Don’t scoff at your dreams. Don’t talk yourself out of them.
This week is SOLELY about exploring your dreams and desires. Feel them and enjoy.
