WHAT’S YOUR DREAM?

by 4 Comments

Make your dream happen

What’s your dream? Is it to write a book, be an artist, a musician, dance, travel, be in a movie, speak on stage, or something else? Tell me. I want to know. Whatever it is, do you believe your dream can come true?

Belief and knowing it’s possible is an important first step. Can you see it like it’s already happened? I’m excited to hear about your vision. Paint me the picture so I can see it with you. Let me know more about you and what’s going on in your life.

Paint me a picture of your dream

When you were a child what did you enjoy doing? Remembering those things may give you clues about your dreams and passions if you don’t already know.

One of my favorite things is writing. I have discovered that many people dream of writing their own book. Most of them have not, because they don’t have time or think they have to be a good writer or some other reason. There is always a way to make it happen. Everyone has a story to tell.

Write your book

Helping you go from where you are to where you desire to be is my specialty. Maybe it is writing a book. People write books for many reasons. Maybe it’s to leave a legacy, share a message, or the accomplishment of attaining the title of “author”. Telling your story can also be your own healing journey or a way to record your personal history. No matter the reason, if it’s your dream, DO IT. Don’t let anyone stop you or cause you to doubt, especially if the person stopping you is YOU.

Time is of the essence. Make your dream happen now. Let me help guide your way. As my mother used to say: “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.”

Speaking of HELP, may I ask for your help? Please let me know what topics are of interest to you that I can blog about. Also, your feedback about my book is appreciated. Right now it is on pre-sale with a description. Let me know if it intrigues you, why, and if you would read it. If it’s not for you, do you know who would benefit from reading my book?

Leave me a comment. It’s your time to make big things happen!

WHY I CHOSE TO WRITE A BOOK

HOLE TO WHOLE by Lori Bruton

In my last blog, I announced that I wrote a book called HOLE TO WHOLE.  It’s been a strong desire on my heart to write a book for many years.  In fact, I believe it is my assignment.  More importantly, I choose to make a difference in many lives.

Some people write to gain status or the title of being an author.  For me, it’s not an ego trip or for a “title”.  I speak and write from my heart sincerely in truth.  May my words help you in a profound way and make a positive impact in your life.  Get comfy; there may be tears and definitely laughter.  May your heart and life be touched changed forever after.

Even though my book talks about my personal experiences, it isn’t truly about me.  What do I mean?  The purpose is to help and encourage others.  No matter how many “holes” and obstacles we encounter, anything is possible.  We can overcome and press forward.

My dad always told me everything starts with an idea; my dreams CAN come true.  I admit that I doubted.  Hearing people say, “You can’t do that.  No one will read your book.  Only rich people are successful authors.”

Know that I poured my heart and soul into every page.  I took a BIG RISK putting my story out there.  I know that I know that I had to expose my darkest secrets.  Why?  There are too many people in pain; suffering shame and guilt and feeling unworthy and discouraged. 

I chose to come to a point that I didn’t care what other people thought, their opinions, their judgments; I care more about how my story can help others.  Losing hope and giving up is no way to live; it’s just existing.

We are all born and created for a purpose; to make a difference.  It’s time to get off the couch and live.  Maybe you want to get up, but you feel you can’t.  Something is keeping you down; something you may not be aware of yet.  It’s not just about willing yourself to do it.  It’s time to dig deep and expose those roots that have kept you stuck.  Don’t let them rot and ruin your life.  Maybe you don’t even know all the stuff you’ve been stuffing.  Warning:  It will surface in some form.

Let’s take this journey together so you will come out on top.  My story may offer you solutions.  Just knowing someone else has gone through similar experiences may be helpful.  There is so much more!  It’s time to thrive and make your dreams a reality.
