An Eve Away

You have had dreams - dreams of starting a business, dreams of friendships, dreams of that specific career and dreams of romance and love. It's the eve of your miracle. It has seemed as though these dreams have been forever forgotten and any mention of them hasn't been heard of in some time. All our hopes and dreams are an eve away. Your dreams haven't failed to come true - we may have just stopped dreaming. We have given up? What a wonderful time of year it is when we can begin to start fresh and to bring our old dreams to life again or to create new dreams, it's an eve away. Just as a ready pottery maker, which sees a lump of clay directly in front of him and as nothing is formed of this clay and as he look at it, he begin to see a masterpiece created by using his hands. Put your hands to your dreams. It's the eve of a new day. You're dreams aren't dead; they are in your hands. Let u start the New Year that is filled with wonderful hopeful possibilities and great expectations of our dreams beginning to take shape as we begin to grab hold of them. It's within your hands and directly within your reach - it's an eve away. Our dreams aren't fulfilled because we've stop dreaming and we've stopped working at it. It's up to you. You may be thinking that nothing you've done have worked out; work it again, start over, and pursue it. Things will change when we change them. There is a newness in the air - can't you sense it? Things all around you may be in ruins but there's still a hint of hope and still a hint of newness in the air - it smells like a new day and a new year. It's your time and your season to be full of happiness, joy and a great expectation for your dreams and or your future. We all have dreams that have been calling us since we could remember - maybe since being a child. It has shaped some of the things that we have done, shaped the lives in which we have lived and brought us to people that we have associated with. Don't let those dreams fall so low that it's hard for you to even see them yourself. See that lump of clay that sees void, without meaning and without shape take on a formed possibility that can be created from your hands. Will you dream a dream? It's the eve of a new day and just an eve away!

The Book Reader's Comment
I read the book in two days. It was wonderful and well written. You hit the nail on the head as the saying goes. Many of us forget our true value and self worth as Women. We always forget ourselves because we constantly put the world ahead. It made me feel much better and appreciated for being the Woman that I am. All Women are Super Heroes! Due to our busy lives, we often forget or are preoccupied, that we forget God is our source of energy, survival, love, patience, strength, etc. I enjoyed the book and have given it to my daughters who are now Women. Wow! I look forward to reading all your materials.
It is also great that part of the proceeds go to an excellent cause. Many Single Mothers need an outlet of support. It feels great to know that someone cares, we are appreciated and there is always some form of assistance available.
Thank you for your wisdom and time as far as writing this book. You are like the Guiding Big Sister so many of us need!!!

How Do We See Our Today?
Our today always looks better than our yesterday.
If we are reading this - we are still seeing. If we have heard the commerical on this blog - we are still hearing. If we are replying to this - we still have use of our hands. If we are pondering this - we still have use of our thoughts.
We are still here! Today is still better than our yesterday, no matter what yesterday held.
