Believe in the Impossible

Alice laughed: "There's no use trying," she said; "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." Alice in Wonderland. 

I've been in a quandary lately. My friend David has been telling me for years to "stop playing small" and to be willing to put a voice to what it is I want to do with this life. I've realized it's time to share my dream with others. My vision is to create a Community Sanctuary which offers workshops, classes, retreats as well as a place to just be. A place of true community where you can come and work in the gardens, cook in the kitchen or lounge about.

Yet when I share this vision people want to squash it as impossible. "How will it make money?" "You'll never be able to afford a loan for the land." "People will abuse your generosity." Naysayers abound when it comes to my dream!

My challenge is to maintain my conviction to this vision and not let the naysayers get me down. You see I believe that the impossible is possible! Amazing things happen every single day, so why shouldn't they happen for me? Despite those who think I've lost my mind, I'm holding on to my dream. I don't know how it's going to come together. I don't know where the money will come from. But I do believe people are looking for ways to connect with others. I feel in my heart that more and more people want to belong to a community. People are seeking ways to get involved and contribute.

If you're looking for me today, I'll be at the beach dreaming the impossible! Six impossible things before lunchtime...
