Guests asked fantastic questions during the discussion portion.  We talked about the challenge of language in declaring a dream.  Should we “want” it or do we already have it?  The challenges with whether to get specific or be general in dreaming, what’s better?  How do I know what my dream really is?  How many dreams can we have?  What constitutes a dream in the first place?  What is the point of us coming together?  We could have talked all night!

The Declaring Your Dream Gift Kits, which included a packet of Dream it Forward dream cards to pass out to friends and family, a ‘live, laugh, love’ motivational candle, and a ‘I ♥ Creating My Dreams’ notepad, were handed out and Dream PostCards were passed around and the creative dream declaring tool basket came out!

During the workshop portion, everyone was able to creatively think about and declare their dreams on the back of the postcards with crayons, markers, paint pens, stickers, and cutting pictures and words out of magazines.  The group got incredibly creative as you will see by going to the See A Dream page and looking at the declared dreams.  All in all 22 dreams were declared from the group!

It was an incredibly wonderful gathering of special dreamers and an inspiring and motivating evening.  We were asked if we are going to do it again and the answer is, we’re open to it and we will see if and when doing this again is a match!  Until then, keep dreaming, keep creating and keep motivating!
