dreaming – Saturday Soul with Sandy Hibbard

Dreaming ties us all together

I have been snowed in all weekend (and part of that time without electricity), so I have been thinking plenty about my dreams, my life, my desires – what to do next, what I should have done, didn’t do. Sometimes things happen in our lives that absolutely throw us off center. Smacks us upside the head. There have been several times that has happened to me and I watched my dreams flow right out of me. Finding your muse and igniting your dream AGAIN is sometimes challenging (that is an understatement), but when we can dream together it connects us to something bigger than ourselves.

What I mean is this: think of when you have shared a dream with someone? Didn’t you feel more empowered? Remember when someone supported and encouraged your dream? Didn’t you feel stronger? I hope that on this cold frozen day you will let yourself be free to dream and find the strength and encouragement to pursue it!

Love & Peace,
Sandy

Dreaming ties us all together . . .

We can often get bogged down with the duties of living and building a business. I loved this quote from American novelist and poet Jack Kerouac: ”All human beings are also dream beings. Dreaming ties all mankind together.” Everyone from the CEO to the mailroom clerk have dreams, I wonder what would happen if we allowed each other our dreams without judgement? Think of how our lives would flourish and our businesses would grow if we were truly free to pursue our dreams without reservation and embrace those around us to do the same?

Building our business requires that we engage with passion, tell a compelling and sincere story, and really care about what our product can do to serve our clients needs. Keep your heart and mind focused on your dream, ignite it with passionately skilled action and watch it come to life!

Strung Out

Strung Out
In the morning’s first light I think on love
And when the last group of stars sweep across my eyelids
My dream is fixed on love
In between fresh hope and my own anticipated comfort
My emotions are strung out
Like a merry twisted strand of lights
Some dangling off the wire carelessly
Others misplaced or burned out
Twinkling, dancing, fading
and crushed
Meditations, prayers, pleadings, tears and conversation
Exploring, creating, working, fears and aspirations
The magic of the sunrise and aroma of fresh coffee
The faint song of the bluejay
All work in tandem to lift my space into joy
Morning has come and with it a thousand years of possibilities
The tinkling rant of the rain on the porch
Reminds me that there is yet another season of growth for me
And there is time for giving
For I am focused on love
Painful mystical and illusive, burning hearts like a branding iron
Unconditional hopeful and healing, lifting me higher than my own desire
Courage grows stronger through the day but seems to wane as the light fades
Time slips again with all her demands
And chooses to slip into the night
Another moment held at bay
One more tear to end the day
Ever hopeful, steady, focused, like a train slithering along the track
Longing, weary, faded fears determined never to look back
In between the star-dusted night and the glimmer of morning
I dream in the mist of love
Where there is music wine and laughter
Dancing and living
Under the spell of giving
Holding hands and kissing
Understanding what was missing
Long walks and conversation, champagne and chocolate covered berries
Bringing to each other’s heart the fullness that we carry
Strung out
I dream on love
I dream with you

My Secret Conversation

My Secret Conversation

In between the night and mornings first light
There is a quiet moment when thoughts of you fill my heart
Never to share out loud, these vision are held soul-captive
My own secret conversation
No one else
In that secret place where I reveal my tender self
Passionate longings give way to visceral imaginations
Life with you,
Love with you,
Death with you
Every detail colored in the magic of our deep sharing
Even the ground beneath our journey reaches up to kiss you
As I reach out to know you
In between the night and mornings first light
I share openly without fear
And in this twilight conversation you are always here
What I see sustains me in that moment
Lulling me to sleep
To embrace this dream of the night
Maybe someday we will have this conversation
In broad open daylight
