Making Your Dreams Come True!

There are dreams we dream. 

There are dreams we defer.

There are dreams that really do come true.

 

I have, for many years, attended the Macon Dunnagan
“Kilimanjaro talks” at Jesse Brown’s.

I have ,for all of those years, walked away ….thinking:
“Ya’ll have fun!”

 

There are times when another person holds the key that will
enable another’s dream to come true.

 

I found myself, some months ago ,at, yet again, another one
of Macon’s talks….but this talk was different.  The crowd was
different.  The folk were funny, fun, and I hate to actually say
this, but they were my age.  ( yes, 29…again!!~!!) 

 

I left that talk thinking…gosh…maybe I should really
make this dream come true!  These people will make
a difference. These people are special.

The group of which I speak  : The Rotary Club members.  
The more I learn of their community and world efforts, the
more I am in awe.  What an amazing group!  I am so very
pleased to have been able to join them in some training…..
course, one of them…he knows who he is…took me on a
treacherous hike one day…omg….I was on all fours at one
point, crawling across this mountain. He was, I know, shaking
his head, thinking:”This poor woman….and she is going to
Kilimanjaro?”

 

So, this time; with that key, the door to my dream was opened
and I , amazingly enough, walked through.

 

I am packing right this minute (okay, I’m taking a break.) 

It’s kind of mind boggling ..this packing…”Do I need this?”
” Is this too much?” Why am I taking that?” ” Should I have
bought this or that?”  “Will this thing work?”  All of the questions
are coming to my mind!! It is, I think, nerve racking.

I need a butler. 

 

In three days I will leave for Moshi, Tanzania – Africa.

 

I will spend two days at the Amani Children’s Home.  I
will teach the children how to twist balloon animals!

I will spend six days slogging up Mt. Kilimanjaro, the fourth
highest summit in the world.

I will spend three days on a safari….and African Safari….
Imagine!!!!

I will spend three days in Amsterdam.
(No, I will not partake in the coffee shop offerings!!!!)

 

I will return knowing that “Yes, I really did make a dream come
true.”

 

I hope that you will walk ….no…RUN though the door to your
dreams.
