Not Letting Your Dreams Die With You
“The graveyard is the richest place on Earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung…” — Les Brown
I don’t know if I have six months, six years, or sixteen ~ I doubt I have 50.
What I do know is this: if I don’t start creating now, I may never get the chance to share what’s inside me.
The Decision
I don’t care about becoming rich
or becoming famous
I just finally want to do what I was sent here to do
My goal is to go home, to the Great Spirit, to do a good job and go home.
Come closer. Peek behind the curtain. You’re warmly invited.
