Dreams

I recently listened to a program on "Gearing up to reach your dreams" by Cindy Rushton.  I loved how she put it.  She does not make new year resolutions but makes plans to reach her goals and dreams.  She challenged everyone to make a list of your dreams, even the ones that you think are unattainable.  So I have been thinking about it and have made a list.  I thought I would share it with you all and challenge you to make a list.  I want to work on making plans to accomplish some of these dreams.  This list in is no order other than what came to mind at that moment.
