To semi-retire by running my own little secluded sea-front guest-house where I can also paint, write and entertain beautiful minds and souls...
But most of all the man I adore, strong and healthy, in one of the rooms working on the computer he so loves.
I've just got to say that I'm a huge dreamer. But when I read this question, I thought of Nicole Kidman's character in "The Interpreter" when she says "We don't name the dead." Somehow I felt like we don't name out dreams -- not out loud.
So part of the boldness of dreaming for me is allowing myself to say what my dreams are. Thanks for askin.
To have a house by the ocean and surf every day!
To winner an Oscar and get interviewed by Oprah.
BTW, I FINALLY discovered my Style Statement last night. I'm so excited! Constructive Nostalgic.
2) To be such a renowned hostess that Oprah is dying for an invitation to one of my dinner parties
I would use my leisure time to travel the world and decorate my humble yet fabulous beach house (which I would own by then) and cook wonderful meals for my friends and family.
To have learned and practiced leadership and organizational skills in my career that I can then apply to what I really want to do: work on projects that help other people with a focus on education; perhaps open an orphanage in which the kids learn every skill they need to suceed in live.
I want to have a home base: a house in the woods, off the grid, with chicken running around. :-)
I want to raise my future kids in the different countries of their heritage so that they not only know but also understand where they come from.
I want to have all the time I want to spend with my husband, because that is when I am happiest.
To start a longitudinal study w low-income urban youth ages 3-5 and help them graduate college & become professionals.
To write a how-to-book on successfully working with African American youth and families, owning a home, going/graduating from college....and the programming format so when I die...the Vision can continue!
To own property and to provide housing for homeless & those evicted.
To empower African American men & women to dress for success, attain a job & own businesses. Empowerment Center

All her life, my mother's big dream was to write her book. She had it all planned out in her head. Then she died suddenly at 63. The book unwritten, the dream unfulfilled. Just write. Put it down and let the universe take care of the rest. But write it - for those who can't.
But I want to say something about the "We don't name the dead" practice. I'm glad you brought this up, because, while I very much believe in the empowerment and magic that comes form voicing your dreams (see my recent blog post, "The Dream Fairy") I think you should be very mindful about spreadin' the dreams around.
Tell people who want you to win, who can muster some belief. SEEK OUT A CULTURE OF YES. (And if you don't have a culture of Yes, stand tall, speak clearly and screw 'em if they don't know courage when they hear it.) Yes, dreams are precious and should be shared in Sacred space - which is just what we consider this digital space to be.
In honour of the precious and the bold...

It sounds like we have similar ideas. You are a few steps ahead of me already. I would start in Trinidad, since that is where part of my family is from and there is need as well, but I can see myself working on projects in Africa as well later on.
Would love to exchange more with you on this.

To spend a year or two sailing around the Caribbean with no shcedule, good food, good wine, scuba gear, tennis racquets, my man, our friends and an unlimited supply of books, mags and sunscreen.

To find the career I love.
I dream of love and beauty. To love and be loved. To create and inspire.
OK, the obsene audacious dream - -
to have an antique shop/gallery/wedding reception venue with gardens similar to Longwood Gardens, Kennett Square, PA!!
As I'm manifesting those dreams, clicking on all cylinders, I want to remain in total of my own time--with space in my life to spend with my daughter, to paint and draw, to read and just be.
I love coining terms--in part because it reminds me that everything hasn't been thought of yet. My two latest from the various parts of my work-life: "Spiritual Aesthetic" to describe what your soul finds beautiful. And "service memoir" for a new genre of writing.

I want to be famous for something... I mean something GOOD - ha ha!! I want to discover, create, or make something that no one can live without that will be a million dollar idea... back to the drawing board! :-P
Condolences for your loss -- whenever it happened, condolences are still needed from time to time.

My dream is to live a life of love, magic and inspiration, to change the world for the better, to be who I am and to love my life.
I hope you have a wonderful time.
MY DREAM is to live in the South of France in a heritage house built of stone and situated on the top of a gentle hilltop. I'll have a writing desk set up in front of a window that opens wide to a view of my neighbour's vineyard below and the ocean beyond. There will be a line of tall, skinny poplars on the horizon and it's here that I will write my novel. At my feet is my Golden Retriever companion of many years and my cat is curled and napping at my side on the desktop. Behind me is a luscious four poster bed where the man of my dreams and I spend many an afternoon making love while a gentle breeze cools our skin. He's handsome, kind, a good provider, funny, and a great cook. Behind our home is a well maintained stable that houses a couple of horses and a staff member who looks after their daily needs. In addition to writing, I also operate a therapeutic riding facility to share the healing gifts of horses and facilitate health and happiness for others. I still maintain my apartment in Vancouver so I have a place to stay when I get homesick and want to jet away for a quick visit.
Much love to you, Carrie & Danielle and all the others who have shared their hearts desires.
How narrow minded of me!! Golbal is the word!!!
or
I want to be that strange woman who lives in a cabin at the edge of the village and cures everyone in exchange for produce and meat.
or
I want to stake a gold claim in the California hills and hide out there with my burro and a year's worth of supplies.
For some reason your message back to me didn't have a "reply", so I am not sure if you would get the message that I reposted. Please e-mail me at crichard@clarku.edu and we can go from there. Take care.
I'll let you know....
