How to keep your dreams alive

Lately, I started updating my wish lists again. It is a magical practice and keeps your dreams alive.

I wrote a list I keep in my purse about travel dreams and things I want to see and do. I also add to an online list of gifts and things that catch my fancy. Every time I think of something fun, I add it.

It is the art of allowing your dreams to take flight.

Today I realized something on my list materialized not long ago. More than a year ago, I put an iPad on my list. I went on with my life and did not give it much thought.

Suddenly, right around the holidays, my husband brought home an iPad he got as a holiday gift at his office. Keep your dreams alive!
