We begin our lives in the Fairy Tale.
When we are little girls people tell us that "someday your Prince will come."
And as a result of this blessing having been pronounced over us, some of us spend the rest of our lives hanging around, kissing frogs. And maybe, just maybe, some girls will kiss a frog and turn him into a Prince, but for some, it is just a lifetime of froggy slobber.
How can a girl break free? Free from dreaming of the fairy-tale-come-true-life that we are going to live...someday. ... or are we better off living with the dream?
I heard an older woman say one day that she didn't have a dream anymore. How depressing is that?
I cannot imagine living without a dream. It is what gets me through each day. It is what helps me go into each tomorrow with anticipation. It is what keeps me moving forward. It is a motivator, an encourager, a friend and I for one believe in dreaming. I believe in Dreaming Big.
So, just for the record, if you happen to go looking for me, you will find me down at the frog pond... where people still believe in kissing frogs.
