The Power of a Dream
Posted on 25. Jul, 2009 by Linda Lord in Blog, Character development
Last night’s performance of Cracked was so meaningful and not because of anything I did on stage necessarily.
When the house lights came up afterward, I saw a friend approaching with roses. Now, you have to understand I hadn’t seen this person in a few years. She walked right up to me, hugged me, and told me how proud she was of what I had. She reminded me that we had discussed my wanting to do a one woman show, many years before, while sitting on her sofa and discussing what direction we wanted our lives to take. It was a journey that had taken some time to unfold, but unfold it had.
After an emotional chat with her another individual came up to me who thanked me because years ago I had helped her to make the choice that is embedded in the play.
What I want to share is that you never know how powerful your dreams are or when they are ready to burst forth. You also never know what the world will have missed if you let go of your dreams.
In September, I am going to be part of an amazing event that is taking place in three Ontario cities: Windsor, St. Catherine’s, and Toronto. Darren Jacklin is coming and he specializes in making people’s dreams come true. I can hardly wait. Dreams are so powerful. Do you have one that you have almost given up on? Dreams and action lead to reality. Don’t give up now.
