Dreamer

I am a DREAMER. 

Last August when I discovered the Mondo Beyondo eCourse, I knew it was for me.  Due to several circumstances, the timing wasn’t great. Financially for instance.  But I knew somehow, some way I would have to get in on the ‘Mondo Beyondo’ goodness.

Flash forward a few months later to December. I knew the next session of Mondo Beyondo was starting in January. I made up my mind that no matter what, I was going to take it.  It would be my Christmas gift to me.  One evening, while I was popping around online, I followed a link from twitter that mentioned a Mondo Beyondo give away at the amazing Design Mom blog only to discover Gabrielle had been hosting a whole week of giveaways. 

I posted my heartfelt comment on the giveaway post and said a little prayer.  I’m guessing you know the rest of the story; I WON!  I won a spot in the January session, out of hundreds of women!  Awesome!

January came and I took the course.  It was everything I imagined it would be, and more.  Part of the course asked you to write a ‘Mondo Beyondo’ dream list.  So I did.  I wrote it inside the journal pictured in  the image above.  I then tore out the page and tucked it away.  ‘sigh’

One of the items on my list was to be here. Right here on this blog. And here I am.

I have to say, many of my dreams are unfolding, right before my eyes.  I am truly blessed.  It’s amazing what happens when you put your biggest dreams out there...it really does work.

In honour of dreaming, I created a little Photoshop tutorial video to share. It's over on my blog. I like to call it ‘dreamifying’. You can also click HERE to download a printable pdf of my ‘dreamer’ tags because we all need to be reminded to dream sometimes.

I would love to see your dreamy images or perhaps you have a dream story you would like to share.

I dream of visiting foreign places, seeing more of the world - and I'm fortunate enough that I get to do so now and then through my work. The most exotic place for a Norwegian like me so far has been Tucson, Arizona: http://www.flickr.com/photos/85057042@N00/3394517270/

I've had a dream of starting a photography business for some time now. I am doing it now! I took the leap, and I still have lots to learn. It feels good though to be following through on my dreams!
PS Would love to win a Hello Canvas!

[Sukhi]

Thank you for sharing how you dreamify! It was such a nice, clear and concise tutorial for a total photoshop newbie like me! And, it inspired me to actually try it on my own. I am so happy that a fellow Mondo-Beyondo-er is watching their dreams unfold before them. I am in the May session and it has changed my life in more ways than I even imagined - and I'm not even done with the entire session yet! Congrats to you and keep dreaming!!!

Classic joke: alcoholic into the zoo hippo here.i company heard to huangshan mountain tourism, passed a colleague to urinate in the toilet, happened a few foreigners also got up and <a href="http://www.easybuygoods.com/">lv handbag</a>followed him. I haven't waited outside half minutes, see colleague hastily and went running.
"So quick fix?"
Never a face like a colleague replied: "well, it's not a shot! First, avoid to avoid a suspension..."

Ordinary people think merely of how they will spend time, a man of intellect tries to use it.
