Romantic vignette #20 : Love Awaits

Happy Monday,my friends. Here is something I filmed in my local park. Enjoy! The words and voice are all me.

 

Dream thought # 87: Reach for the stars

To put a nice end to Black History month, here is a newly discovered picture of Harriet Tubman! She is believed to be in her 40's in this picture. I tinted the picture in pink to make it dreamier. I am sure Harriet had a soft dreamy side to her. Her quote below says it all.


Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. -Harriet Tubman.

Keep Dreaming

I have might of shared this story with you all before. I came up with my blog name in part because Swan was my last name at the time. Now it's my maiden name and my last name I use still for acting. The dreamers part came from that I'm a big dreamer. Always have been. I know I get that dreamy side from my mom. She loves to think up new dreams and make them happen. My mom is a big inspiration for me in doing that.



I was always the kind of kid who could finish a conversation with you then effortlessly slip into a daydream. ( Confession: I still do this now!) I love daydreams. They give me inspiration and guidance what to focus on next. Dreams: day or night are like inner angels whispering to do this or do that. I may dream of things that may take days to weeks to even years to manifest. Eventually they do.

When you drift of to your favorite dream, tune in and wonder. And reflect on this...

What are your favorite dreams and fantasies?
What are the common themes in your dreams?
Are there parts of your dream that can you bring into this reality?



Keep dreaming, my friends. Your dreams are waiting for you to bring them to our world.

Dream Thought #50

If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to
dream less, but to dream more, to dream all the time
- Marcel Proust

This and That..

Did everyone enjoy the Simple Things list post? I loved it and I can't wait to do it again. I may even keep a running list of Simple things on my sidebar to do weekly.

I came on today and found I have 42 dreamers. Wow! A big welcome and hug to all who are new here. I hope you always leave here with a smile and a boost of sunshine. I do my best to be as real here as I am in my life. I celebrate the good and do honor the shadows of life. And if you have been lurking for a while, say hello! (I don't bite unless you have chocolate with you.) Much Love for all who come here regularly to share your thoughts, dreams and ideas with me.

Yesterday, I went to see a dress rehearsal with my friend Lady R. for the show Shafrika, The White Girl at the Vineyard Theatre down in Union Square. It is a joyous and wonderful show about a girl growing up in a multiracial family. It opens tonight and worth to see if your in New York.

I have only Mansfield Park left to read in my Spending Spring with Jane Austen. I finished Emma on Wednesday. I love the 1996 Emma starring Gwyneth Paltrow. ( I do want to see the Kate Beckinsale version.) The book dragged to me. Just didn't have the Jane Austen sparkle. All who love Emma, my apologies. Like the saying goes: not everything is for everybody. My favorite character was Mr. Knightley. He was the voice of reason in the novel; I was always happy when he walked into a scene. Jeremy Northam, who I have loved since Emma, is a perfect swoonworthy Mr. Knightley. This is a perfect time for a clip.



Wasn't that sweet. Makes me all mushy inside. Yes, I am big romantic cream puff! So, I'll be starting Mansfield Park tomorrow. Let you all know what I think. If you want to read my thoughts on the other novels, just click on the Jane Austen posts.

Here's to fabulous and creative Friday for all.

Sweet Dreams.
