It Is Never Too Late To Dream!

As I shared this exercise was more challenging than I had originally thought.  I found myself judging my ideas or finding reasons to not capture them.  The other thing I learned about myself in this exercise is that I have listed a number of things that I planned to do in the near future and others that I have the ability to do with time.  Overall, I learned that none of us are too old to dream.

What are your dreams?
