Can you teach an old dog new tricks?

When they say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, I say they are so wrong!  Just saying, I am not old per say, at least inside I do not feel old, although some days the mirror says otherwise!

Becoming, such a great word, as you learn & grow, you become more than what you were before.  

Even in our trials, thru faith, determination, enduring to the end, or whatever you call it, you can choose to grow, live your life to the fullest, sharing your gifts, giving back, & becoming more than what you were, or kick against the pricks & live your life angry & not to the fullest.

As I become a Character Coach with Brandy Mychals, I find myself becoming & enjoying the journey more each day.  That doesn't mean my challenges have magically disappeared, but I am more up to the challenge.

My husband, Donn, came home from a meeting last week & said to me, “We have forgot to dream.”

The last few years have been really hard on us financially, survival mode, just keeping the roof over our heads mentality.  In that space, there is no room for growth, let alone dreaming.

So when my hubby talked about forgetting to dream, he opened the door for me to dream again & gave me permission to do so.

I brought out my dream board (the one that I have been talking about doing for how many years?) & started adding all the things I want my life to be, what I want to give, & who I want to spend my time with!

So as I dream, I ask you to help me meet my goal, my dream.   

I have this great dream of walking up to the Eifel Tower with my oldest granddaughters & my hubby & showing them Paris in Fall of 2013.

This all started when I walked into the Paris hotel in Las Vegas, yes far from the real thing, I know, holding the hand of a then 5 year old granddaughter, who looked up with awe in her eyes & voice, & said “ohhhh, Paris.”  It was then at that moment, I knew that I had to take my girls to the real Paris, Florence, the Italian coast, Venice, oohhh, yum!

As I opened up to my BNI group on this past Friday, I am open to your referrals to fuel my dream!  Let’s start dreaming together!  Share your dream, stand up for yourself, & become!
