They always made fun of her "idle dreams," but she knew she was destined for the stars...

In this world you really have to hold on tight to your dreams! Most people don't have a lot of respect for dreams that seem unlikely or out-of-reach. But that is why it's called a DREAM! (In the dictionary as: "A wild fancy or hope") I love hearing people's dreams-- the bigger, the better.

My dream: to write and illustrate a book about following your dreams. Is this probably just an "idle dream?" Yes! (I'm not actually a writer or illustrator.) Is it still really fun to think about? Yes! Why not?

Lucky us!

"People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us." -Iris Murdoch

The same could be said for butterflies, birds, sunsets, and the ocean. We earthlings should count our blessings.

Build castles in the air: To make impossible or imaginary plans, dream about future successes that are unlikely.
