A community isn’t built or befriended,
it’s connected by offering and accepting.
Community is affinity, identity, and kinship
that make room for ideas, thoughts, and solutions.
Wherever a community gathers, we aspire and inspire each other intentionally . . . And our words shine with authenticity.
Dreams and Roadmaps
Some dreamers put their dreams on the horizon and talk about what they wish. Dreams require a life to be more than a wish. If we only look at our dreams, we’ll see them fade into nothing. What does it take to live a dream into reality?
Here’s what Rick Cockrum said . . .
The most important thing I learned in school was how to learn, Leon. What your degree is in doesnât matter. Dreams are NEVER smashed, though the implementation may have no resemblance to the original.
The best thing about having a roadmap and a strategy isnât to stick to it slavishly, but to have taken the time to consciously decide where youâre going, how youâre going to get there, then how youâre going to act on the inevitable changes that have to be made, rather than just reacting to circumstances occurs.
A successful and outstanding blogger said that.

The saying is “we get out what we put in” but I think we actually get out far more than we put into a community because of our combined energies. Do you think?
Above I responded directly to what you wrote about community, Liz.
In regards to what Rick Cockrum said, someone else said (paraphrasing,) “the more we work and plan the luckier we get.” Amen on that!
Hi Jannie!
Yeah, on both points. Small investments yield high returns. Dreams and communities have a lot in common and go well together, don’ they?
Dear Liz
All dreams were started out as nothing but thin air. What bring a dream into reality are that road map you speak of, and the actions to follow through. Without that road map and action, a dream is just âAirâ

Yeah Giovanna,
I’m with you on that … dreams without aren’t anything.
I’m blushing, Liz.
I went back and re-read that open comment night.
I’d recommend anyone read the entire conversation for ways to brings our dreams life. So many people with wisdom and practical advice are a part of the community here. It’s amazing.
Hi Rick!
In the thread and outside of it, what you had to say was awesome. That’s why I shared it. Thank you for helping us all see that.
