Shape Your Dreams
With the coming of a New Year so too come new resolutions, new dreams, new goals that we all want to pursue. Everyone starts off the same but by the end of the year many people will have failed to achieve their goals. While I wish there was a magic formula that guaranteed all of our dreams did indeed come true there are a few… →
With the coming of the New Year we raise our eyes to the horizon and ask of ourselves, what do I want to accomplish this year? What new dreams can I reach for? And so a thousand new resolutions and goals are birthed in a single night. Americans love self-improvement it seems, this month more people will be at the gym than ever before. More… →
In a few days many of us will gather with families or friends around the Christmas tree. Underneath the pretty ornaments and twinkling lights we will find brightly wrapped boxes waiting just for us.

November has come and gone leaving us to count our words and tally our word counts. On December first hundreds of writers stepped outside and took their first breaths of fresh air in thirty days.

his is a topic very near and dear to my heart, it is the basis of the Dream Anvil. I believe that every one of us can be creative. Yes even you. We may not all be able to sculpt like Bernini but that doesn’t matter. What matters is that we all have the capacity to create something. All of us do it in our own little ways. We shape and mold, we paint and write, sing and dance, every single day. It brings us joy. It allows us to escape from our world for just a moment. Everyone creates, in their own little ways. Be it a sketch or a little ditty you just made up in your head, we all make stuff. What separates us from the other species on this planet, is our ability to create. What you make and how good it is, ultimately is up to you. That is what that ring represents, the creativity and its vast potential inside us all.
When I spend time encouraging others to achieve their dreams, I can’t help but think of achieving my own. The dreamer is always focused on achieving their dreams and I am no different. Most of my experiences that I write about have come from pursuing my own dreams. I want to be an author, I want to have others read and enjoy the stories that… →
The city doesn’t sleep. In just keeps going and going. Always active with the movement of planes, cars, trains and people shuffling back and forth. The city is what many consider the ultimate symbol of humanities control over nature. A never sleeping, giant hive of activity, designed to fulfill our every need. With so much going on, the hustle and bustle of city life can… →
Our dreams are amazing. Think about it. Every day someone is achieving something amazing. Our dreams are big, big things, ideas that can change lives. They are full of wonder and posses a beauty as unique as the dreamers that came up with them. They are waiting for us to discover their true potential. Dreams are something inspiring.
