Hopes and dreams for 2007
Happy New Year everyone!

This is a place to share your hopes and dreams and wishes for the coming New Year. These can be specific professional or personal goals you are working towards, or grand ideals for which you hope, or anything in between.

This is something I do occasionally with my family, or others  I've worked with, usually called "visioning" in a professional or nonprofit context. It's a chance to define and remember the "big picture," what one's efforts are "really all about" and where one hopes to go in the future.

Here are a few of mine: 


Honing and expanding my fiction writing skills in order to increase my ability to add something unique and (hopefully!) beautiful to the world, to better celebrate the values of WS: hope, family and community, achieving one's dreams. 

Developing and strengthening the friendships and family relationships I have, staying close while learning how to relate to those around me as an adult.

Song lyrics to inspire hopefulness:

The War is Over by Sarah Brightman

My statures are falling
Like feathers of snow
Their voices are calling
In whispering word waiting for the morning light

Heaven is calling
From rainy shores

Counting wounded lights falling
Into their dreams still searching for an open door

In morning dew,
a glorious scene came through,
like war is over now
I feel I'm coming home again

The moments unfold
In the meaning of love
This war is over now

I feel I'm coming home again

An arrow of freedom
Is piercing my heart
Breaking chains of emotion
Given a moment to pray
Lost innocence to find its way

Feelings of sensation
A cry in the dark
Hope is on the horizon
With a reason to stay
And living for a brand new day

In morning dew,
a glorious scene came through,
like war is over now
I feel I'm coming home again

The moments unfold
In the meaning of love
This war is over now
I feel I'm coming home again

In morning dew,
a glorious scene came through,
like war is over now
I feel I'm coming home again

The moments unfold
In the meaning of love
This war is over now
I feel I'm coming home again
